Vodafone (UK) Customer Service

Calling Vodafone takes some time, so if you plan to call them and need to talk to a real live customer service agent, be prepared to wait in the queue. That said, once you get through to someone, you will get decent service. It is just a waiting game until then. There are a few things that I learned you can do to get to someone faster, but they won’t work in every situation. 

I needed to talk to someone at Vodafone because I signed up for their service due to an enticing offer I received in my email, and I only seem to get coverage in about half of my house. Unless there is something that I can do, there are too many dead spots with this cell coverage to make my purchase worthwhile. Therefore, I needed to either find technical support help (in case there was something I could do) or cancel the service altogether. 

Hopefully, this is not a situation that everyone faces, but there are dozens of other reasons why people would need to call Vodafone. Some people might need to call to talk about their phone plans, billing and payment, coverage, upgrades, adding new lines, etc. There are dozens of reasons why people would need to call, which is also probably why it takes a while to get to someone. 

When you first call, you get a standard greeting that welcomes you to the call, and then you have a list of options to begin wading through. It’s helpful if you call from your own phone line because then it will automatically identify who you are, but if you can’t, it would be helpful to have information on hand before you call. The assistant will ask for a lot of information, and in my case, I was driving and couldn’t access it, which made my time a lot longer. The next time I called, I would have information at my hands. 

Overall, it wasn’t that bad of an experience, but it did take time. The customer representative did not have a lot to offer me, but they were very friendly and helpful. They noted the problem I am having with my account and scheduled a time for a technical support person to come out to my home to see if we can figure out why I am having the dead spot issues and if something can be done. Therefore, I am still waiting for the resolution of my issues.
