Why is EE so rubbish

Seriously, have had a brand new S25 Ultra for 5 months and it has not worked properly since day 1. EE blame Samsung and Samsung blame them. Niether company will do anything to rectify it. Now the phone has decided to not connect to the network. 

I guess, as usual, it will be my fault and not either Samsung or EE.

It sounds like an issue with your device then absolutely. 

Please take a look at my response from earlier in which I detailed the EE repair process for you under warranty. I also linked the EE websites for repairs and the Store Finder which shows the approximate timelines for repairs being booked in at each store.

The exact process for getting this repaired will depend upon whether you have taken the device on contract or bought this outright from something like the EE Store website.

If the device is on contract with EE, Customer Services will be able to arrange for this to be sent for repair or can book you an appointment for you to visit a local EE store to get this in for repair or sent off (depending on whether they do local repairs or not).

If it was bought outright, the manufacturer warranty will still be valid and you will still be able to take this to an EE Retail store to get sent off under the manufacturer warranty as EE's repair centres are Samsung authorised. Anyone on any network can take a phone to an EE store to be sent off for repair (or locally if they have a repair centre instore/nearby).

They will have a record based on the IMEI that it has already been in for repair once, and hopefully the issue can be reproduced this time. Your only option is escalating it in this way by sending it off, a fault may be found or the repeated escalation may prompt EE to step in.

The phone has already been sent to Samsung, and returned by them saying that they couldn’t replicate the fault, which they were hardly likely too as they are not in any of the postcodes I listed.

I have tried everything to get this sorted by either EE or Samsung and, as I wrote earlier, they each blame the other and whilst they continue to do that I can not get the problem resolved.

EE have sent me a letter telling me if I am still not satisfied the I can take my complaint to the ombudsman, who I suspect, is also part of the cartel. Just pointless, I really think that maybe the only answer is the newspapers and tv stations. One ray of light is that a family member works for the BBC as a news researcher.

@Timlazenby  A device issue doesn’t need to be any of these 30 postcodes to have an issue the device is at fault not the network.    

The ombudsman is independent by the way. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Statements like this are not a way to attract credibility.

You appear to have valid cause for complaint against Samsung, but seem to be letting them off without any criticism.
