Fonehouse
Reviews & Experiences

Review content shows consistent praise for Fonehouse customer service and communication, with multiple customers citing helpful agents and clear callbacks. Ordering and delivery are often described as quick and straightforward, and several reviewers report satisfaction with handset condition and payment when selling devices. However, there are isolated but detailed complaints about trade-in valuation processes and email/notification handling that affected payouts. If you consider Fonehouse, check the trade-in terms and keep documentation of condition and correspondence; for purchases, contact customer service about stock and delivery to confirm expectations.
