Festive bundle does not work?

Asked by will from uk on 16th Jan 2018
ive bought the festive bundle on the 11/01/2018 for my iphone 6
asda text me saying the bundle was active But on trying to conect i didnt get no wifi
i telethoned them and they advised me to reset my setting and clear my browsing history i did this but still got no wifi
i telethoned them again and was told i may have a 3G sim and need to replace it with a new sim
they said they would send me one out on the 11/01/2018
on their bundle site it says it will be delivered next day and today the 16/01/2018 it still has not arrived.I have now lost 25% of my bundle time
When i menchioned this to the adviser she said yes but you’ve some of your bundle
i replied yes the only telephone calls ive made are to you.
she replied no you have another number on your account you called.i said yes but i didn’t get through
she replied yes but that still stands that youve started to use this bundle.
my argument is i should have been adised i would need a 4G sim on the site one buys the bundle from.I asked for a refund but she said we dont give money away,Ireplied yes but you expect me to give my money away and i’m only on state pension.

Asda EE network is good for internet speed. And staff are helpful. However it gets a star knocked off because when my 30 day bundle expires 25p goes missing from my account when I haven't made any calls or used mobile data. When I ring customer services they reinstate the 25p but it's happened a few times and i'm fed up. Perhaps setting up a recurring bundle might help, or just switch to another provider.

I use the recurring £7 bundle. No direct debits, just a top up card and I stick in £10 now and then. 1 Gb is more than enough for me and how do people use more than 300 minutes and unlimited texts. No problems transferring my number from Talktalk and no signal problems. I'll stick with Asda as long as it keeps running as smoothly as it has.

Bought an Asda top up voucher last Saturday. The number of the voucher wasn't recognised. Rang Asda mobile, they said they were having trouble with the voucher system and all would be well within 24 hours. Four days and 3 phone calls later, still not working. I need MY MONEY, putting on my phone now.........Not sometime in the dim and distant future! Come on Asda, pull your socks up. This is not acceptable.

This is without doubt the worst mobile service I have ever incountered . Unable to make calls, service always busy. 12gb data but unable to use it. No way to contact customer services via voice or text. They couldn't even transfer my number over despite cancelling my previous contract. Utterly useless, should be buried in a hole in the ground.

Have had an ASDA SIM for several days but cannot link the top-up card to the SIM as their system is always busy when I call the 2732 number. Asda store could only sell me a top up voucher which I can't put on the phone as that also uses the 2732 number. Seems I can't even give them my money.

I heard about asda bundles on line and I was keen to try the £7 bundle as it was better than Vodafone ?£10 bundle
So I went to asda a bought a cheap mobile I was told all the phones they had only 2G network capacity on the phones, I only wanted it for calls and texts so I bought it.
The signal in my town is rubbish any building I get no signal at all. I contacted asda via email and was told the only signal mask in the town was having problems, only one mask, even when I am next to it, which is the other side of the town it's still useless.
I am very disappointed so I will be leaving after this bundle expires shortly, I have given asda 4 months it's no better. In my town with asda and their phones give it a miss.

I find ASDA mobile data a rip off, if you have multiple data bundles, it uses the one that runs out last first. e.g. I today was given a free 1GB of data free for Halloween, which runs out on 6th November (7 days time) However, I already have a data bundle which doesn't run out for 26 days, and it uses this first. I still have 500MB left on this bundle and so I will not get to use the free 1GB unless I use this bundle up first. This happens all the time with data bundles. Surely the bundle that runs out first should be used first, other wise I am getting ripped off because bundles with data left expire before I have a chance to use them. Very frustrating, sneaky and a total rip off!

As someone who is stuck between a rock and a hard place as I'm only allowed ee network due to no other signal moving to asda has been a breath of fresh air.

Cheap, friendly, reliable service.

Thats all i want, ee is a major rip off out of bundle minute charge 50p get stuffed.

Sadly ee will go down hill like the old bt brand as they will keep uping the price and giving you less.

Despite asda using the network haven't had one issue. If people want to complain about signal go to ee on a cheap contract get a free signal booster then go back to asda :)

Bundles are at a good price too cannot fault £20 unlimited texts, minutes and 6gb data.

I recently purchased a pay as you go ASDA sim and can tell you it was the worst thing I did. The signal is non-existant. I have called them numerous times and all they keep telling me is that there is a new mast being erected and that it will be more beneficial for me. I have now been hearing this for the last 2 months and nothing has changed. My work number is diverted to my mobile and I need to leave my home just to get calls or messages. As soon as my monthly bundle is finished I will not be renewing. I only wish I would have known this before choosing them as a provider.

Really disappointed. Highly rated by Which but can't see why. Don't want a contract and O2 PAYG tariffs becoming prohibitively expensive, so gave asda a go. Reception very patchy, frequently no signal, calls default straight to voicemail. Need a reliable network for work but this is not it. Fortunately have an unlocked phone, so the simcard will hit the bin when the credit is used up. Cheap but definitely not cheerful.

I have used Asda mobile with a pay monthly bundle for about 5 years.
The reception is about the same as every other service I have used.
No better no worse. Definitely the cheapest for what I want, only £5 per month.
Last week it stopped working, no calls no texts.
I phoned their Freephone number from a friends phone.
The man who answered was very helpful and patient when it took me a while to remove the battery and sim card.
He found out it was a problem with their computer, apologised a few times and got it working.
This is such a huge difference from Virgin Mobile who threatened to take me to court when I very politely queried the amount I owed them.
That is why I am now with Asda.
And I am a very satisfied customer.

Needed a nano-sim for my new phone. Called the Help-Line on a late Friday afternoon and was very quickly connected to a friendly, efficient chap who took details then said 'no problem, the sim will reach you within 3 working days sir'. It actually arrived the next day! How's that for service? Perhaps I'm just lucky but I've never been without a 3G connection and YouTube or iPlayer video watching is usually stutter-free. And to top it all Asda Mobile is one of the cheapest going (at the moment). So ... no complaints from me, just a big thumbs-up. Well done.

PLEASE JUST STAY AWAY!sounds cheap but it comes with a price.
1. You can't trust the customer services, 99% of what they tell you is just lies. They are just there to make a fool out of you.

2.The service is that bad,I was told my number is gone missing after making a transaction from an Asda sim to another Asda sim and the funny part is, I was told THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING. Seriously? One of them even had the gut to tell me to call my former service to ask them because they had the original number. Which is not possible cause I have stipulated a new contract with Asda and they have a new pac code for the number,making them responsible .

3.Text messages,incoming calls don't' get through often.I learnt some other peeps have already complained about that too. So just stay away.

4.These people are just liars. JUST STAY AWAY. one person tells you a liar and another tops it up.Bullshits. Everyone of them have a different lie to tell. Was told by them oh will are call you to notify you of any changes which has never happened. When you have an issue,they don't really care. Just STAY AWAY! Some has even pretended to be the technician,another time I call, I'm told it's not possible to speak to the technicians. just lies to keep you on the phone and ramble. They won't even take not of the issue.I spoke to 4 different people and the 5th one told me there's not record of whatever I am saying. But the previous ones told me they have notified the issue.

5.One of the worst customer service out there.I mean the worst!!Arguing for nothing and getting angry for no reason. If there's someone to get angry it's the client paying for something which they are not receiving. They are not just professional.

The list is infinity and just stinky. JUST STAY AWAY,I wouldn't advice anyone to make a transaction to ASDA!

ASDA claims to have coverage over 99% of the UK mobile network, am I the 1% they don't cover because I know for sure I don't get coverage in 99% of places I go. My phone is a windows phone so needs reception and internet for most tasks, this is just not possible with EE. It makes me feel bad knowing I had to give this review 1 star but no stars isn't an option unfortunately. I would DEFINITELY would not recommend EE through ASDA to anyone and I know I wont use it again! Its appalling!

Brought a bundle for my holiday in north Wales for the internet usage to keep in touch with my family. Had no reception anywhere I went,put it down to been out in the sticks. Got home and still find it hard to get reception. my bundle runs out today and I've only used 34mb. Absolute waste of money, come on Asda you shouldn't be selling services that you cannot provide, Will be looking for a different provider when I upgrade my phone. ADVICE don't waste your money with Asda.

Waste of even one star. Lost my cherished mobile number as was not told that after 90 days of no OUTGOING calls, the SIM gets suspended. Asda telephone support had no clue about this EE catch and wasted time trying to to recover it. By the time EE got involved, the number was out of my hands. Furthermore, both Asda and EE had not 'reference' on their system to the cherished number - just a SIM number but nothing they claimed connected it to the number itself (which was previously ported across from Orange). I had had this fab number with Orange for over 10 years - but lost it with Asda Mobile in 90 days. Customer Service is absolutely shambolic. This truly is a bad set up and I would never recommend them, purely on the basis that both Asda and EE is an incompetent and amateur partnership trying to compete with their more experienced competition.

Since changing to EE Asda has gone right down the pan, I can no longer send or recieve multi media messages you can't text 5 digit numbers such as the ones used for charity donations info or competitions, sometimes my service vanishes then reappears with no explanation and as for the £7 bundle they recently text me about...its con. None of the shops are set up for it knowing nothing of it when you call the helpline they say you have to top up £10 then call them they'll do it and you'll have a spare £3 credit!!!! They claim its due to the company that sort the bundle didn't talk to asda properly about it.....rubbish.

Two BIG annoyances with the current system, since ASDA switched to EE. Before that everything was hunky-dory with Vodafone.
(1) Voicemail switches itself on whenever I go abroad, in my case to Europe. They finally admitted it was not just me getting the error, so they know about the problem, but as with other issues, they've done nothing about it.
(2) You cannot text 5-digit numbers (8xxxx) used by many services e.g. BBC radio, or, yes, as noted below, donation centres. Again, they know about it but have done nothing about it.
So, like many others I and my husband will be moving to another provider once the credit has run out. These people are pathetic. If I could give 0 or negative stars, I would.

tried to move my number from Tesco mobile to asda. gave pac code and my number stopped working Wednesday 13.5.15. promised it would be reconnected by midnight. phoned thurs still no service and they have no idea what is wrong. they will check and phone me back. phoned back Friday, they will check and phone me back before they finish at five pm. I phoned back at five fifteen as not heard. told there is a technical problem, but they don't know what but its been escalated the day before so wont be long. will phone me back tomorrow - Saturday - to keep me informed even if no news. I phoned them just now. . . there wouldn't be any news today as the relevant department don't work on Saturday or sunday. however after talking to the tech dept they could tell me that Tesco have not transferred all files they need to port my number. so I phoned Tesco - oh yes they have!!!! stuck in middle. its a new business and losing calls. I cant make or receive calls or texts. in fact have no service at all. asda response is that no idea how long it will take, just that it will be done asap. but when I asked if it would be weeks, months or even longer I was told it wouldn't be that long, but they really don't know. nor do I get the feeling they really care!!! I did ask if I could revert to Tesco mobile, but apparently I have to wait for number to work, then request a pac code from asda and port number back again!!!!! I am now in the situation where I have to decide whether to hold on, or spend upwards of £200 getting new signage on van with a new number, plus amending all advertising!! my advice is, it may seem cheaper to transfer, but just stay where you are, its a whole lot less stressful for a start!!!!! any suggestions for getting any kind of result from asda would be gratefully received!!!

Like other users I mysteriously lost my mobile data service from Asda Mobile about 6 weeks ago only to find it had returned today to the same SIM with the same APN settings. Despite calling customer services several times, I received the usual excuses. One agent was extremely abrupt and another clearly couldn't understand simple fault finding processes. A third told me to 'go and buy a new SIM card'. Like other users I will be moving to a different network once my credit is used up. For voice and txt's the service has been OK but don't rely on the data service or customer services to help you.

I bought a Huawei Y330 phone from ASDA in September, and use an ASDA PAYG SIM.

Data coverage seemed a bit erratic for a while (I live in a rural area in Wiltshire) but from the middle of February until yesterday (six weeks)I had no internet connection. I tried taking the SIM out, switching to another ASDA SIM that I had spare, resetting the factory settings, a hard reset, downloading the internet settings from EE, speaking to the ASDA support team and visiting an EE shop.

It didn't matter whether I was in the countryside where I live, in a nearby town or in my closest city, I could only access the internet using wifi.

Yesterday the internet signal magically reappeared, long after I'd given up trying to correct the problem myself and after I'd assumed I must have a hardware problem.

I'll use my remaining credit and switch to a different service supplier. The last six weeks says all I need to know about ASDA Mobile.

We purchased two PAYG phones and one sim from Asda over two years ago, for use as emergency backup phones in our cars. We had no problems until the recent move to EE, since when its all been downhill. The final straw being all three Sims being listed as invalid and all remaining credit taken,(Stolen). I contacted their technical services to try and get them reinstated without any success and was told I would need new sims and new top up vouchers. I feel I have been to say the least badly short changed and think the standard of service appalling. I intend to complain to both trading standards and to OFCOM about their appalling service. Meanwhile I will transfer to another hopefully more creditable provider and frankly intend to avoid ASDA from now on. Like many others their service rates far less than one star.

I don't like to bleat on but this was the straw that broke the camel's back. It's Comic Relief time again and I tried to donate money to Comic Relief by Text on the Asda Mobile Network.

I could not do so and so I contacted Asda Mobile to see what the problem was.

Here is the relevant section, cut and pasted from their e-mail of explanation.

"With regards to the text messages that you've been trying to send to charities like Comic Relief, this is not a service that we support at this time. Therefore any texts sent to a shortcode number, except our customer service number 2732, will fail."

Pitiful isn't it. I don't know what Lenny Henry would make of it.

I was on Asda Mobile and all was well, then they moved to EE last year and it has been down hill from there. Firstly my phone refused to work when I was in New York (it worked fine before I went and when I got back to Heathrow). The massive ( thanks for moving with us to EE bundle of minutes, texts and data ) seemed to evaporate far quicker than my actual usage. Then recently my Mobile Internet failed without warning. Thought it my be my phone so I used a Sainsburys Sim in my second slot which gave me 3G Mobile Internet no problem. I re jigged the settings for the Asda Sim several times and eventually managed to get Mobile Internet but not as a 3G connection.

Terrible trouble with this network. Provided pac code for old number, and I have been waiting 4 days with no service. My old sim no longer works, so I am unable to access any messages. If this is not resolved within the next couple of days, I will be requesting a pac code to move elsewhere. Can anyone suggest what regulatory body I could report these issues to? It would appear that this network is not fit for purpose. I would be safer trying a string and yoghurt pot- I may stand a better chance of making a call.
