Selectcalls

Has anybody had any dealings with SelectCalls. They are offering me reduced charges and I have a 14 day cooling off period.

    Oh dear. Did you bother asking how long the minimum term contract is? It's 5 years.
    Then it's auto-renewing, plus 42 days notice required. Still keen?
    And according to their T&C's the cooling off period is only 10 days.
    Your 'reduced charges' (if they materialise at all) will evaporate after the first 12m, when the price will go up.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    :eek: Not SelectCalls have a read of this thread about them https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2995274
  • Just had dealings with these people, very forceful sales pitch and I nearly fell for it. Their accounts dept. phoned to complete and I told them I was not going to be going ahead with anything after reading other posts about their techniques. I then had another call back withing seconds with someone who got very nasty with me and accused me of wasting their time. Their time, what about mine. In my humble opinion, avoid.

    So it's sign up first and ask questions later?
