Just joined plusnet. I think I made about 3 daytime calls and realised that I had spent nearly £5. I was going to review this towards the end of the month to see if I was anywhere near the 5 to make anytime worthwhile. So I immediately went through the product change to add anytime. to my account. Went through all the pages, saw the new monthly amount and saw that it would become active on 01-05-2014. Just looked today and the account still showed weekend only. Spoke to a girl at PN and she said there was absolutely no record of the upgrade and that it was completely impossible to change the account until 01-06-2014. Perhaps plusnet don't have any development staff who know how to use SQL? If they give me a log on perhaps I could do it for them?
I went through the process of upgrading to anytime while she was on the phone and again, I went trough all the same pages, clicked the same buttons and had the same confirmation page that I got to before, but obviously the date is now 01-06 not 01-05. Will I now have to wait until 01-06 to check my account to find out that that upgrade hasn't gone through again and that they have no record of it?
I think she pretty much inferred that I was lying, obviously without actually using those words, when I asked if she was going to refund the difference between all my May calls and the £5. She seemed to think her systems were completely infallible. Perhaps when the banking systems go down again and nobody can use their cards the banks should all consider using plusnet systems.
So here I am with the lovely new plusnet having to go outside to the en end of my path to make calls with my mobile for another month as we don't get any real reception where I live.
I really wish I had never ever joined plusnet. You look at the prices and think it's a good deal, but then you add up the 99p for caller display, 2.50 for call waiting, 2.50 for call tranfer, the ENORMOUS call charges etc etc and it really doesn't look so good.
Complaint letter on the way (obviously without a stamp).
