@CPW - “shouldn’t you be praising them for doing so” - I did - see the story which follows this one where I praise the attitude and initiative of CPW’s online team. It’s linked in the first line of this story.

“Gareth did tell me that the contract ‘rolled over on the 26th of each month’ (his exact words, as I recall - whatever that means). But he didn’t tell me that meant unlimited data didn’t start till May 26. He certainly didn’t warn me about using the Internet before May 26. I had assumed (oh, silly me) that it was the previous 26th, if I agreed to the deal - this was an upgrade, after all. And how would I be able to test the phone in the 14-day cooldown period otherwise? It seemed like common sense that the upgrade began when I received the phone.”

Yes we just pop in the time machine and change the tariff beginning LAST month. Surely a journalist would think to ask a couple of probing questions, as opposed to making assumptions? By the way, whilst CPW werent legally obliged to waiver your bill, shouldn’t you be praising them for doing so, as opposed to complaining because YOUR “assumption” created the huge bill in the first place. If you think you got stitched up, it’s nothing compared to what the staff have ssen lately believe me.

Funny how they all seem to be piling in to support Carphone Warehouse as well! I wonder whether CPW is now engaging with new media, although perhaps not as constructively as some might hope…
