How to fix your telco problems faster

1. Contact your telco first

Before we can help, you’ll need to contact your telco and give them a chance to fix the problem.

When you contact them:

• explain the problem clearly and how it’s impacting you
• ask for the outcome you want (for example, do you want a refund or the service fixed?)
• ask when they’ll get back to you
• ask for a complaint or reference number
• keep good notes about what was said and who you spoke with.

2. Be available and keep in touch

Make time to talk trough the problem with your telco. If you miss a call or message, get back to them as soon as you can to keep things moving.

3. Give your telco a chance to fix the problem

Be reasonably patient. Some problems will take longer to fix, and your telco might need to work with other parties to resolve your complaint.

Remember to:

• be flexible if your telco offers something similar to what you’re asking for
• pay for services you’re using
• report anymore faults or issues with your services and keep it written down
• keep conversations respectful.
