Who is my contract with if my phone is faulty?

Asked by Allie Crewe from Britain on 2nd Feb 2018
I have a contract with Tesco Mobile. My Samsung phone over heated. I returned it to Tesco in the pre-paid envelope. They offered me a new one, then changed their minds. They said they would get back to me and called once the next day whilst I was working - though I have no record of that call. All phone calls are recorded so there will be a record. 9 days passed without contact. I went into my local store today to ask for help and they gave me their landline to facilitate the 32 min phone call. Tesco have said that I must go to Samsung. They offered me £50 compensation for my inconvenience. I use my phone for business. They offered to permit me to buy a new phone. I have taken no action as yet and asked for a record via email.

My rights state that:

If your phone forms part of your mobile phone contract, your claim would be against your mobile phone service provider and you may be entitled to a free repair or replacement as part of your contract.

It’s worth checking your mobile operator’s terms and conditions to see what you’re entitled to.

In addition to your mobile phone operator’s terms and conditions, you also have your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act (which replaced the Supply of Goods and Services Act from 1 October 2015).

This means your mobile provider – in addition to providing their service to you with reasonable skill and care – has to ensure the actual handset is of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose.

If there is a cap on my sons account will that include charges for emojis?

Asked by Lynne from UK on 20th Apr 2017
I think we increased the cap from £2.50 to £12.50 when we were abroad, but recently he has sent lots of text messages with Emojis. I'm worried that he will be clocking up huge charges even though there is a cap in place.

What gives Tesco the right to sell my mobile number to cold callers?

Asked by Paul White from UK on 15th Mar 2017
My spare PAYG mobile is a Tesco mobile and the number has never been given out to anyone as we never use it, it's purely for emergencies and is on a different network to our contract phones. I usually just hang up on cold calls but decided to answer this one, it was a call for my wife whose name is on the Tesco clubcard we used to activate this phone. So I am convinced Tesco sold our number!

Reply by Keith from UK on 1st Sep 2017
I suspect Tesco are doing this too - or staff are stealing them.

Every time I ring their support spam calls ramp up.

Why am I being charged twice on some text messages?

Asked by John Shephard from England on 6th Feb 2017
After sending a text, a ping and new balance is shown, then randomly get a second ping and another new balance. This may or may not happen every time. Am I being 'mugged-off' with a TESCO scam?

This just seemed to happen in last couple of weeks. Have pay as you go and only use it for texting.

Asked by Lizz from Britain on 8th Aug 2016

Why am I losing money on my phone when I'm not using it? Every day it happens.

Asked by Mrs Christine Upton from England on 22nd Jul 2016

Reply by sheila from United Kingdom on 30th Aug 2016
Most probably because you have had scam mobile texts which cost you £4-50 every time you read one.
It happened to me and had to change my number but that does not garantee it will not happen again.

My balance depletes when not making calls on my pay as you go phone. Why?

Asked by Peter Allchin from Wales on 18th Mar 2016
Two days ago I had £1.86 balance. Today, nothing. No phones or texts have been made. Depletion of my balance happens too often.

Reply by Steve from UK on 18th Mar 2016
Probably it's your smart phone sneakily nibbling data. Updating apps, checking emails, that kind of thing. You can set it to use Wi-Fi only.

Reply by Tim from Uk on 4th Apr 2016
Have you got internet on your phone? If you have turn off data roaming and my location.
