Although my phone is certainly better than your iPhone (if you have one), that’s not what this post is about. Instead, I want to tell you about what happened when my HTC Hero failed.
Last Saturday, I woke up and found my phone had no signal. I tried to make a phone call, but I was told my handset wasn’t registered on the network. I wondered whether Orange was having problems, so I put the SIM card in one of my older phones. It worked perfectly. The problem had to be with the HTC Hero.
At first I tried changing settings, and then decided on a factory reset – I reasoned that I might have installed a dodgy application or something. No joy.
So I called Orange.
A very helpful person offered to replace my handset, and gave me a range of times I could receive my replacement on the next day – Sunday.
I don’t have Orange Care. I am not a business user. And when I chose for my replacement phone to be delivered between 9am and 1pm, it arrived at 11am sharp. All I had to do was plug in my SIM card and – bingo! – I was back on the Orange network. After re-syncing my contacts with Outlook, I was good to go.
From broken phone to replacement – in only 19 hours. Over a weekend. That’s customer service.
It’s also good business: so many of our clients come via referrals from satisfied customers. Perhaps we can help you too?
