Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / November 2006Easymobile closing down
Just got this in my email: 13th November 2006 Dear Customer, First let us start by thanking you for your custom and loyalty to easyMobile.com over the last couple of years. As you may recall, easyMobile.com in the UK was set up as a partnership between TDC (the telecom company from Denmark) and easyGroup (Stelios' investment vehicle). Due to a change of strategy at TDC, TDC have decided to withdraw from the UK market. Consequently you will not be able to use your easyMobile.com service in the UK from midnight (24:00) on 13th December 2006. Our agreement with you will then formally end on 20th December 2006. Further details on this are contained in the attached document. If any top-ups you have made remain in your account at midnight (24:00) on 13th December 2006, we will fully re-fund you such amount, subject to any outstanding mobile telephone service charges which are due as at 20th December 2006 or on the closing of your account, which you will remain liable for. Details of the process for and calculation of such refund/outstanding amounts are contained in the attached document. We have made an alternative arrangement available for you as a customer with Fresh Mobile from The Carphone Warehouse. As you know, The Carphone Warehouse is a reputable operator and if you choose this option we hope that you find their service useful. If you wish to proceed with this option, please login to My Account on www.easyMobile.com, where you will find details on how to take advantage of this offer. If, as an alternative to the option set out above, you would prefer to move to an alternative service provider, then we will do our best to unlock your easyMobile phone or port your number to another service or operator at your request. Details of how you can arrange this can be found in the FAQs on the www.easyMobile.com website. Please see the attached document for additional information in relation to the process going forward. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Customer Services or visit our web-site www.easyMobile.com which will be updated from time to time if there is any additional information or changes you need to be aware of.

Fresh Mobile is part of the Carphone Warehouse's own mobile network, it offers customers great value with low cost call charges.

Yes, the services are quite restricted. Which will be one of the reasons for the very low share of the UK mobile market. >Call charges to standard UK numbers: > > a..

Will it pay to shop around? Like any CPW business, bound to be run by a bunch of crooks (!). To me, it only looks worthwhile to switch to get the ?10 free call credit, use it up and then fcuk them off.

Text messages 5p each I got a free EasyMobile simcard a few months back as a spare, which came with about 20 quid's worth of free airtime IIRC - I've hardly used any of it yet (so EM have now clawed back quite a bit due to lack of use). Have never paid for any top-ups at all. Does anyone know whether my current balance will be transferred if I was to go with this CPW offer?

No, you'll get a Fresh SIM with £10 free credit. You will be refunded any outstanding credit on the Easymobile SIM excluding any bonuses/referral fees etc., so if you didn't pay for any of the airtime you won't get any money back.

However, for the whole of today (18/11/2006) I've had zero network coverage in the middle of London! Anyone else getting this? Have easymobile had the plug pulled on them? This is frustrating as I have to be on-call for work and was planning to organise a phone switch by the official cut-off date. Ben.

No surprises there at all. Absolutely no one I know in the industry thought that Easymobile would last long with their business model. TDC is successful in Denmark (and elsewhere..?) providing mobile calls at flat rate of ~6p/min, but they couldn't get down to that price here and now failed. WHY ?

Looks like it was big very wel organized anti-easyGroup campaign and I have some thoughts WHO wa behind it. It seems it's a very well known Web Reputation Managemen company acting on behalf of a very well-known UK mobile phone sale network. Just look at this http://www.easy-mobiles.co.uk/ easyMobile tried to get to the top in search engines and lost - so di its whole business. Dog eat dog and I'm not surprised that there wer many who were only happy to help it crash -- Anrian |
