ee cold calls

Received a cold call from ee broadband team this evening, I asked if they were uk based only and was told all call centres were.

The price they quoted was virtually the same as I pay with my current provider so decided to stay put as ee representative was quite pushy. tried to get rid of her by saying I could get better deals using cashback sites. she never mentioned that if I sign up online through ee I would get £50 giftcard.

just been onto chat with ee and asked where chat operator was based


INDIA was the reply

has anyone else has misleading and pushy salescall from ee

    Pushy? Never spoken to a sales person yet who wasn't! What was misleading about the call?

    There is every chance that their chat operators are based outside the UK (possibly even working from home), but your question was about call centres which appears to have been answered honestly.

    Hi makemesumdosh,

    100% of pay monthly EE customer service calls are now handled in the UK and Ireland. We’re creating over 550 additional service jobs in the UK to fully onshore all customer service roles.

    We have a full list of our direct partners herehttp://ee.co.uk/help/add-ons-benefits-and-plans/price-plans-and-costs/phone-calls-from-orange-ee-t-mobile-and-our-partners this has all the numbers they might call from so you can check it is a genuine call from us.

    Thanks, Jenny
