£1000 for a phone – is it worth it?

Would you spend a thousand pounds on an iPhone X? (that’s pronounced ’10’ as in the Roman numeral, if you didn’t know!) Even more if you want the 256gb version. If you’re the sort of person who needs to have the best and newest piece of kit, then perhaps you can justify.. Read More

As an HR Consultant, I really rely on my mobile phone for my clients to contact me quickly and easily.  It’s for that reason that I become anxious when my phone contract comes to an end and I either need to search for a better deal or change my phone.

But Dave you made it so easy and lived up to your company name of Simpatico, you were sympathetic to my needs.  The hardest part was getting the PAC code from the previous supplier!  Once we had that it was all systems go and I was on my new cheaper, much cheaper tariff in less than a week!   You did all the fiddly bits too in putting in my new SIM card.

Your advice was invaluable putting me on a network that gives me better coverage and an improved signal at home too!

I would have absolutely no hesitation but to recommend your services.  Thanks for all your help and support in ensuring a smooth transition.
