Went from being a fantastic company to completely ignoring its customers.

When I first ported all of my numbers from BT to TTNC back in 2017, this company and its customer service was second to none. They could not do enough to help and support customers - every department responded to every query - often the same day.

Now, well, read the other reviews... I wondered why every time I contacted them I was being completely ignored but it seems to be a very common theme, if not the new normal.

You can no longer speak to any department on the phone. Which is odd for a telecoms company. You can leave a voicemail, but don't expect a call back.

Instead you have to email to raise support tickets - Something I've done several times between November 2025 and August 2026. Every single one has been completely ignored, including the latest which was a perfectly polite complaint to customer services regarding some services that we're paying extra for no longer working.

I have only ever had cause to contact them in the last year due to technical issues. Updates to their platform seem to result in a poorer customer experience and I have reported several things that have stopped working altogether, or no longer work as they should.

Things such as:

Softfone app no longer allows you to reject a call.
Call blocking feature not working properly.
The inability to scroll left or right on the website on a mobile device, meaning the self-service site cannot be used anymore when on the go.

Simple issues that cause businesses real-world problems.

By far the worst issue, however, is the recent loss of the ability to transfer a call since the last update. We buy expensive equipment, pay extra for features on many lines, but we can no longer do something as simple as transfer a call to another number.

These are all really basic things for a comms company. And they all worked perfectly until the seemingly needless updates, which seem to break more features each time they do them.

Support / helpdesk don't respond to tickets. Customer services still haven't responded a fortnight later.

I don't know what else to do but leave a review I never thought I'd have to for what was once such a fantastic company.

If the basic feature of transferring a call can't be reinstated I can't see any other option but to move all of my numbers and services away from TTNC.

In the meantime we're paying for services that we can't use effectively, and cannot get any response at all from TTNC. Someone advised contacting the ombudsman but I'm still hoping they might resolve the issues to save us all the extra hassle we don't need.

If, on the off chance anyone from TTNC reads this and decides to call, I'm available any day after 3pm or at any time via email.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your recent experience, particularly given that you have been a valued customer for over five years.

We completely understand how critical a reliable phone system is to the day-to-day running of your business, and we appreciate the frustration and disruption caused by the issues you've described, as well as the delays you've experienced when seeking support.

Our colleague Caroline has made several attempts to contact you regarding the concerns raised, and I have also reached out to you today via email. We are keen to investigate this matter fully; however, we do require some additional information from you to help us identify the root cause and work towards a resolution as quickly as possible.

We take your feedback seriously and would welcome the opportunity to review the issues in detail and address your concerns. Please respond to our latest email when convenient, and we'll do everything we can to assist.

Kind regards,

Katie

I've been a TTNC customer for over five…

I've been a TTNC customer for over five years, and until recently the service was good. Unfortunately, the level of customer support has declined significantly.

You can no longer speak to a real person and are forced to raise support tickets, which simply isn't acceptable when your phone system is a critical part of your business. We raised a ticket over three weeks ago regarding call transferring and still haven't received a response.

To make matters worse, our phones have gone down twice in the last week. During these outages, we couldn't hear callers or be heard ourselves, bringing our business communications to a standstill. The service status page showed no issues, and despite raising two more support tickets, we've had no response or assistance.

For any business, reliable phone service and responsive support are essential. Even if the issue is simple to fix, it's impossible to know because there's no one available to speak to.

This level of service is completely unacceptable. Sadly, after five years as a customer, we'll be moving our account elsewhere.

We've spent nearly £50,000 withTTNC…

We've spent nearly £50,000 withTTNC over the past 8 years. We went with them because they offered good support. They are now difficult to get hold of for urgent assistance. This left us withno phones. There appears to be no way of contacting the TTNC team or of even alerting them to issues with their system save raising a ticket and joining the queue (8 hours - so tough luck if it is over the weekend and your relying on their systems).

TTNC are not the cheapeast. Things go wrong in all businesses and its about how they deal with it. The product does generally work but when it dosn't there inability to allow customers to communicate with them and let them know of issues with their system is poor. However once they do get to your ticket (8 working hours - so not weekends) they are helpful and proactive and will do their best to resolve the issue and keep you updated.

Prior to the ChessICT takeover we were able to contact the TTNC directly so if their system had issues they could priritise reoslving them now we can't and this resulted in a poorer customer experience.

TTNC used to be a great company - not anymore !

TTNC used to be a brilliant company, great value and very responsive until they were taken over - I have been a client for nearly 10 years. But prices increases, glitches and poor service have forced me to leave. The most irritating thing about is there poor commuincations, they activley DO NOT WANT TO SPEAK TO ANYONE and when something goes wrong, have an automated AI receptionist that seems proud the URGENT problems will be deal with in 8 hours (in realisty much longer) and anyhting else within 5 working days !
I leaft the company name at the bottom of this review, so you cannot say as you have said to other reviews that you don't know who I am or which business this pertains to as you seem to state each time you get a nagative review !

My business VOIP line stopped working over a week ago. We cannot receive client calls. I have called the support line, sent emails to support, placed several tickets and have had NO response at all. I have also left a voicemail with the AI bot.
We have been with TTNC for 10 years with quick, outstanding and helpful service.

I now have to revert to online public complaints to see if this may prompt some form of support.

It now seems this company has no humans to assist its clients with faults and there is no way to speak to a human so one is left at the whim of AI.

Non-Existent Urgent Customer Support

Our phonelines have been down for a full week. We can't call out, and customers cannot call us. Extremely damaging to our business reputation that we have built based on our customers being able to contact us with ease, but they cannot get through!

No support whatsoever! You call the main office line, it's an automated voicemail service that tells you someone will respond if it's urgent in 8 hours. 8 hours for emergency business support is abhorrent in 2026!

I managed to call an emergency support line, and got through to a really patronising and arrogant woman who told me that she wasn't sure how I managed to call that number and that it's out of hours support only, and that during the day, they can't do anything and that I should contact the main office number (and leave a voicemail).

Absolute joke of a company. I will be moving my business telephone lines elsewhere with immediate effect.

This company for some years provided excellent service, but lately it has become almost impossible to connect to their portal. The chat is now operated via AI. When requesting help from a live person, the AI issues a ticket so good luck in getting a fast response.
