Our complaint handling procedures

Truphone endeavours to make the customer experience a very good one but at times you may feel that you would like to raise a complaint about our service or if you have a billing dispute.

This section sets out how to make a complaint and your rights to refer a dispute to an independent ombudsman. 

1. Complaints about our service

If you're not happy with our service and would like to make a complaint, please contact us first by calling 707 from your Truphone device, or 020 3318 0742 (charged at standard operator rates), or by sending us an e-mail at help@truphone.com if you are a consumer or if you are a business customer business.help@truphone.com.

If your complaint relates to on our SIM4Travel service then you can contact us at feedback@sim4travel.com if you need to make a complaint or you can call +44 20 7107 9700 (calls charged at standard operator rates).

Truphone will endeavour to resolve all issues in a timely manner. If we are unable to resolve your complaint satisfactorily, we will issue a "deadlock" letter after 8 weeks so that you may make a complaint through CISAS an independent alternative dispute resolution scheme. We will provide you with details of this service. Alternatively if more than 8 weeks has passed since you first made your complaint, please contact the ADR scheme directly. They will provide a free, independent service to investigate your complaint, provided it falls within their terms of reference, though you must have gone through our own complaints procedure first before they can help you.

If your complaint relates to a billing issue on our SIM4Travel service then you can contact us at feedback@sim4travel.com if you need to make a complaint or you can call +44 20 7107 9700 (calls charged at standard operator rates).

Once you have lodged a complaint with us we will acknowledge the complaint in writing to you and provide you with reasonable progress updates in relation to resolving the compliant where appropriate.
