Contacting the publication

One number, and honest limits upon it. Where the question concerns one's own bill or account, the network's official service is the correct first call.

Summary of key points

  1. Reader helpline: 0330 059 7117 — standard rate, general guidance only.
  2. Within scope: switching, coverage assessment, complaints procedure, fraud defence.
  3. Beyond scope: billing, contracts, account alterations — the network's official service.
  4. No passcode, banking or card detail is ever requested; a caller requesting one is not this publication.

I.The helpline

0330 059 7117

A standard-rate UK number: 0330 numbers cost the same as calling a normal landline and ordinarily fall within inclusive-minute allowances. No premium charge arises from this publication under any circumstance.

II.The division of matters

Within the helpline's scopeBelonging with official channels
The PAC/STAC procedure and the rights within itBilling, contract terms, cancellations, upgrades
Coverage assessment; signal improvementAny matter requiring an account to be opened
The complaints procedure and the free ombudsmanFraud in progress — the bank first, then Action Fraud
The host beneath any virtual brandRegulatory matters — Ofcom and the ombudsman schemes
Call securityThis publication never requests one-time passcodes, banking or card details, or passwords. A caller purporting to represent it and requesting any of these is a fraud; the call should be ended and reported — fraud prevention.
