ok where do i start
well i was down lakeside with the misses a few mounths ago and walked into one of there shops
i felt it was time to get a contract as my phone was old and beaten up (yet works fine)
and i was paying £50 mounth credet
so had a chat with this bloke (jack) and the first thing i explained to him was that i was a motor tecnition and wanted a good strong phone and wanted to see what he had to offer i then said i did not want a sony ericsson as my misses has one same as a few of her mates and they all have endless problems
well he showed my round a few phones and then yep you gessed it the latest sony 905 ciber shot thing
he said i no wot you are going to say but they have come a long way since you mates.... he spent ages talking me round till i gave in when he said he would give me 2 mounts free line rental and insurence for £40 mounth on an 18 mounth contract and the phone was free![ban-split](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/ban-split.gif)
got the phone all good then end of the mounth comes and i get a bill through????? wheres my free line rental then? rang vodafone up and the insisted that the dont give out free line rental![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)

Been with them for 10+ years now personal and business phones and not really had much of a problem.
Dont get pushed around by them you need to tell them not the other way round, if they play silly fuckers again tell them you wish to speak to a manager and get cancelled as you have better things to be doing with your time.

Depends on the store TBH. My local store (Bexleyheath) is useless. Asked them about altering my tariff and they completely screwed it up by not looking @ the info properly (used to be £40pm, after was £180
). Quick argument later, tariff was reversed and full credit given, plus LOTS of discounts for rest of contract (never paid more than £15 for next 14 months).
I use the Bluewater store and they have always been okay so far. My N95 8GB is in for repair due to internal and external speakers going crackly. IT got sent off, was meant to come back on Tuesday just gone. Went down there and it had not been received back into store, but had been collected by the couriers. Spoke to the manager, he looked into it quickly and said that if it is not back by Monday (first working day after Christmas for courier company), I am to go into the store after work and he will replace the phone FOC with a new one, plus 1 months free line rental for each week I have been without the phone, and put notes on the system to the same effect.
One thing with most phone shops, MAKE SURE they put anything they tell you onto the system. It can be your only proof about circumstances should something go wrong.

Okay, that is scary. Straight after writing this post above, Vodafone have rung me up to tell me that they HAVE lost the phone and if I would like to pop into the store on Tuesday, they will be replacing it with a brand NEW one and providing 2 months free line rental ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Proof that even though things can go wrong, not all stores are the same and there are some good ones out there![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/roi.gif)
Going back to your problem, I would be speaking to the manager of the store WITH the oik that sold you the phone present and getting compensation out of them, PLUS a phone of YOUR choice to the same value for the trouble caused.
