Pressure selling from talktalk - pathetic

Oranjeboom

Had a call from talktalk last night trying to flog me one of their mobile deals. It sounded quite good actually, but I told 'Justin' that I wanted to discuss with the wife as she's been looking around at mobile phone providers just recently. Of course he said that this was a great deal and that it's only available 'telephonically', one time-offer etc. I could not phone talktalk to get this deal. So we agreed that he would phone me back later. When the wife got back we discussed this 'deal' and we both agreed it sounded good.:D

Essentially £5/month:
75 minutes
150 texts
monthly running contract

Whilst I waited for his return call to get this great 'telephonic-only' deal that only valued long time customers can get and only from them calling me, i quickly checked their site to find the deal available online:

I hate this 'pressure selling' technique.:mad: I know many companies do this, but in this case they are simply lying to their 'valued' customers. Indeed I was about to sign up to this great deal. But quite frankly, they have totally annoyed me and I will be likely to take up an offer elsewhere.
And as for my home telephone bundle, I will probably be going over to someone else in 2 months time when I move house.

Talktalk can stick their deals up their ...:eek:
And I'll be sticking with someone else in future.

MarkBargain is right you should give them ago
I have had them since they started and not had any problems

Ovivo run of the same network as Talktalk which is Vodafone
Like said its a one off £15 and nothing more to pay unless you need more mins text or internet its also a Payandgo so No Contracts

If you don't us your free allowance you do not pay no more 150 mins, 150text, 400data, Ovivo to Ovivo calls are free its is very good deal.

Never agree a deal with a cold caller (aka nuisance caller) - it just encourages them to harass people.:eek::eek:

If it really was a good deal they wouldn't have to phone people about it - the deal would sell itself.

Cold calling and hard sell means they don't want you to shop around and find all the much better deals out there......
