What is Telecoms Mis-selling?
Telecom mis-selling happens when a telecom contract is sold using misleading or dishonest tactics. Common examples include:
- Mid-term price rises that weren’t properly explained when you signed up.
- Outdated or low-quality equipment that fails to perform and is often subject to planned obsolescence , deliberately designed to fail.
- Extortionate exit fees that lock you into long-term deals, even if you’re unhappy with the service.
- Finance companies involved in contracts add extra complexity and cost, often leaving customers paying more than expected.
- Figures are manipulated during the sales pitch, giving the illusion of significant savings when, in reality, you end up paying more.
The Problem With 4Com and Other Telecom Providers
One of the names most frequently mentioned in complaints is 4Com, but they are not alone. Across the telecoms sector, companies use similar high-pressure sales tactics to lock businesses—particularly micro and small businesses—into long-term, expensive contracts.
The “Shut Down & Rebrand” Trick
Some providers even close their companies and reopen under different names to avoid the regulatory limits set by Ofcom, which restrict contract terms for micro businesses to two years.
After rebranding, they often call back the same customers, posing as a “new supplier,” and sign them up all over again, trapping them in another expensive contract cycle.
