Can't sign up for TalkTalk + £60 Tesco gift card deal!!!!!

macriada

What's going on? Tried three times to sign up online via uSwitch for TalkTalk's £17.05 per month phone and internet bundle (with £60 Tesco gift card). Followed all the links from Martin's site, registered for the deal, followed the "special link", filled in all my details on the TalkTalk site and each time I got the message "We are experiencing technical difficulties and cannot process your requests, please call us on blah, blah, blah". Well, I called them on blah,blah, blah and because this wasn't online, they couldn't offer the £60 Tesco voucher. Is this a sharp move by TalkTalk, has the uSwitch offer been over subscribed? I'm a bit brassed off, and I only have until 20th September to sign up for this offer - that's why I'm up at this crazy hour trying to do so - still getting the same message through. "CATCH 22".

I take that as a warning and not bother!!!

Talk Talk are very poor and have a lot of complaints. Cheap but not cheerful.

I left them and glad I did as they are a shower!!!

I did note a warning about customer service being poor. I'll reconsider and have a shop around for an alternative deal.

Check to see who's avail @ your exchange if not done so AND any cash back deals (Quidco etc.)

Sorry for being so thick - how do I check who is available at my local exchange?

Click on the link, insert your post code and it will tell you who is @ your exchange so you can compare deals.

It's great to see representatives of folks like uSwitch online here to help with folks' problems, and that MSE allows them to respond. Thanks for offering to help, uSwitch rep, but for now, I'm considering my options.
