Hi, i`m writing this on behalf of my niece user name is kbcm89, she recently moved home, her new and old home both had plusnet phone and broadband.
On the 23rd, it was agreed the broadband would go off, at her olf home, and would then be transferred to her new place on the same day, the moving team said all she would need to do, was to plug in her modem and phone, nothing else would need to be done, she wouldn't even need to change the user name and password in the router.
On Friday very early moving she noticed the broadband and phone had stopped working at her old home, as agreed, later in the afternoon she arrived at her new home, only to find no phone was working or broadband at her new home.
I can now confirm since late yesterday she is now connected to both services at her new place, however, due to something going wrong, either at plusnet end or open reach end, she has used 15 pounds on mobile data/ phone calls, as she had to phone different people like the council, water board etc, and was on hold for a long time on most of the calls, even though some of these calls should have been free, using a mobile they are not.
How about a good will payment plusnet, she really cant afford to lose this kind of money, she paid for a service she didn't get for a few days,it is the worst possible time to be without a working phone.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

If any of the calls were 0800 or 0808 numbers - they are free from mobiles.

OK, 03 numbers would be chargeable if it's PAYG with no inclusive calls package.
As to any form of recompense, hopefully a Plusnet help team member will be along shortly to answer that.

Thanks for your post @hazzardlover
I'm sorry to see your niece has had problems getting phone broadband at her new address, and she's been charged for calling us. As far as I'm aware, our 03 numbers are only advertised if you're calling from abroad, as we have an 0800 number along side it as our main number.
Can you drop me a private message though with screenshots showing the numbers she rang us on?
Also, do you know where she saw these numbers listed?

@Gandalf It's not calling Plusnet numbers which the OP is concerned about.
From the OP:
...as she had to phone different people like the council, water board etc, and was on hold for a long time on most of the calls...

Thanks for the heads up @198kHz I need bigger glasses.
@hazzardlover, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to cover these costs she incurred as from what I can see there wasn't a delay with the order and while there was a fault with the line, this was fixed within 2 working days.
Appreciate the frustration and inconvenience, but faults can happen due to the way the infrastructure works although disappointing this happened at the outset.
As goodwill gestures, we'd offer £8 a day for each day a fault's not fixed after the first 2 working days have passed. Similarly, we'd also offer £5 a day for each day an order's not completed after a confirmed activation date.

198kHz yes correct, but she did phone plusnet a few times as well, no idea what number she used to do this.
Gandalf I will send a screen cap of the numbers on my phone that she used, and ive emailed her to do the same.

hi Gandalf
ok, no point in sending screencaps etc, she was without the phone broadband for 3 and a half days if you dont include sunday due to the fault, but i see you said working days, so no idea if open reach class a saturday as a working day, even if saturday is also not a working day, its still 2 and a half days.
A 8 pound goodwill gesture would cover the calls, and would be fine, but from your reply, i dont even think she has been offered that,.
Anyway, ill leave the thread now, if you as a company want to give her a 8 pound credit, then thank you, if not we are not gpoing to fall out over 8 pounds, ill have to give her 8 pounds, i can afford it more than she can.
thank you

No problem and thanks for getting back to me.
I've snuck in £8 onto her next bill as a goodwill credit
Let me know if there are further issues or anything else you'd need help with.
