Some of you may recall my complain to Blyk I posted yesterday; this was directly aimed at my frustration of some of the Blyk staff, but also turned out to be a ranting ramble about the audacity that Blyk think they have to expand.
Well it seems, they’ve finally gotten around to reading my complaint (it took them nearly a week), and as I suspsected I got a standard response.
“Hi Samantha
Thank you for your email.
I am sorry to hear that you are continuing to experience problems activating your replacement sim card.
Firstly I would like to acknowledge your frustration and concerns over the way in which you say you have been treated by some members of the Blyk Member Care Team. We take your comments seriously and I can assure you that the points you have raised will be investigated and any findings will be dealt with in accordance with our internal policies.With regard to the activation of your sim card; I understand that you have been speaking to *** and he has been trying to help you get active. I can also confirm that as these actions have not be successful, the information has been escalated to the technical team who are investigating it further.
I will monitor you account closely and I hope it will not be too much longer before you can start to enjoy using Blyk.
Kind regards
****
Team Manager
Blyk Member Care Team”
The thing is, they aren’t sorry. It was only yesterday I was informed my problems regarding my account activation were being passed onto the “higher technical team” – what? Isn’t a technical team, a technical team?
Well, apparently not.
Also, even some of the staff (who are nice), express concerns or frustration about the service. I was once told that it was “annoying how the service goes, and as a Blyk member I share your concerns”. Yes, Mr. Staff member you may be a Blyk Member, but you’re there, you can shout at the people without having the call disconnected, you have direct access to the Technical Team (and the higher one too). Whereas there is me, and the other hundred-odd-thousand members left just sitting here like ducks in a pond.
I cannot even remember the number of times I’ve asked to speak directly to the Technical team. Any other company, phone network, or whoever will do this. If I phone up my ISP, they have specialist departments for computers, broadband and the like. I can speak to the technicians, I can cut out the middle man. Blyk don’t want to do this, and this has delayed the process so much more.
Should I even mention, that Blyk now does not recognise mobile phones that they have on their compatiable list?
Why is this happening to a company who should be good? And more importantly, why isn’t Blyk stopping their plans to move overseas, and start getting the service here working properly. I mean, not having message reports? I remember having those on my first phone way back in 2002; it’s 2008, there is no excuse for being so poorly organised and equipped.
– Rant over –
Oh, I should also add… It was a noreply@ address. It seems they don’t want my response.
Blyk's Technical team, what a joke it is. It took them 6 weeks to sort out their multiple sms issues. What are your exact problems Samantha?
I am sure Blyk are loving being splashed on the front of smstextnews with such negative comments!
I know, they're brilliant arn't they?
You know before you went on Holiday I said I couldn't retrieve any MMS messages? Well, it's well over four weeks now, and it's so annoying. My refill is due today, but because they can't get anything working, I'm not getting it; and seeing as I've spent most of my minutes phoning Blyk up in the first place, I can't actually believe it.
Samantha.
maybe send an email to someone senior with a link to your rants on smstextnews?
I'm in the process of doing that. I link them to yours too. I think Blyk need to get it into their head what's going on.
Samantha.
LOL!! Blyk is just such a joke. I've only just had a problem with Blyk for the last 3 days and it is really annoying!! I have just sent my complaint to Watchdog and hopefully others have too so that Blyk can get their act together. They want to expand overseas but yet there are thousands of us who have problems with something that is just so basic to sort out! For me no refill, no settings and plain rubbish on the forum because apparently my sim is inactive but they made inactive! I just know that. Hope they sort it out!!
