Upgrade cancelled

Usual story, been with three quite awhile. Completed an upgrade via live chat, delivery date / window received. Had a call which I missed, got onto live chat within 10 minutes as voicemail said they would call back if needed. Live chat informed me that they protection team had cancelled the upgrade because the call was missed. In this day and age, this is astounding, given I had to validate the account, complete a full credit check including running a check on a card in my name and then confirming via OTP to the phone number I cannot believe due to one missed phone call 2 hours before delivery the upgrade was cancelled. It then took me to point out that now I have an outstanding credit check ran for nothing, I was offered £5 as a gesture of goodwill and told ' complete the upgrade again '. 

This process needs a serious review, it cannot be that difficult to leave a voicemail asking to call back, or at least call before the delivery is accepted and in transit. Three must be the only mobile operator who do things this way and it looks to have cost them yet another customer.

Whilst I’m not in anyway whatsoever diminishing the effect your experience has had on you I can only say  that if you decide to stay with the network and decide to upgrade again then do it via the app. It removes the need to speak to anyone and for me it was seamless and trouble free. 

All the best.

I ordered my upgrade through the app , missed the call because it states nowhere that a call would have to be accepted after credit checks and finalising order were done otherwise it would be canceled. Been on live chat for ages told it was sorted out and now dpd tracker shows phone returning to them . Really poor service

I’m guessing the call (which I myself received during the process) is not publicised for whatever security reasons Three deem appropriate. Whatever your feelings I’m reasonably sure that you’d need to place another order and PROBABLY undergo another credit check. I’ve got to empathise that I’m not 100% sure about that but I wouldn’t collapse in shock if I was.
