Hallon uppstod när allt fler efterfrågade enkla och billiga mobilabonnemang. Varför krångla till det när man inte behöver, tänkte vi. Sedan 2013 har svenskar kunnat ringa och surfa billigt utan bindningstider, krångliga fakturor eller rörliga priser. Ett enklare mobilt liv börjar med ett klick hos oss. Vi kallar det Halloneffekten.

Costumer service is a nightmare!
I needed to order a 5g broadband for the new apartment I moved into but my folkbokningsadress wasn’t changed in the system due to the previous owner not changing theirs.
Basically Hallon sent the 5g sim to god knows where, and the only way to get support was through an AI bot that told me we have sent the sim card to your adress which was my previous and I couldn’t change it!
One time I succeded to manipulate the AI chatbot to connect me to a real person, then waited for 45 minutes and then nothing happened and I couldn’t reach anyone on the other side!
Stay away If talking to hallucinating AI chatbots with low IQ isn’t your favourite activity!
I very happy with Hallon ,just I miss som I can support on mobile some desk hope come in future 🤗

Beware before you choose Hallon!
I tried to port my phone number to Hallon, but the transfer failed because I was still in a binding contract with my previous provider. Even though the transfer failed and I never used Hallon's services, they still started a subscription and deducted money from my bank account for five months.When I contacted Hallon to ask why I was being charged, I received no response. Now, they refuse to refund the money they took.I have used Hallon in the past, and their customer service has always been incredibly slow. It feels like they only contact you after they have collected all your money or added late fees. They simply refuse to solve problems. Avoid this company!

For mobile subscription, the internet is very poor and slow even in the city. I live in Gothenburg and it fails too often, in the office, city park, groceries. Cannot rely on the internet so I am changing to another operator in less than a year as it only gets worse.

Hoenstly, it has bad internet coverage in many places, and my phone calls in whatsapp or other calls just keep dropping mid way and keeps reconnecting and disconnecting which makes it very frsutrating and hard to rely on thier internet service. And after 40 mins of waiting to contact customer service after fighting with their AI, I didnt get any resolution. I was asked to restart phone, reset network service. And ordered a new physical sim card for my esim now.

Very reliable and helpful customer service. Got a refund twice with no hassle.

I was charged for two calls to the same number, one incoming and one outgoing, even though both started at 14:41 and had almost identical durations. I only had one phone conversation.
I sent Hallon my call log and checked all the phone settings they asked me to check. Call forwarding was not enabled. Despite this, it took almost four weeks to receive a proper response.
Hallon keeps referring to records from another operator, but at the same time says they do not have those records and cannot provide them or give me a technical explanation. They cannot explain how two separate calls could have happened almost simultaneously, but they still expect me to pay for both.
Now it's time for many official complaints and to let the law solve this matter. I will show them how to respect their customers and provide technical explanation when needed, and answer on time instead of procrastinating!

Very bad waiting time. Have been on the queue for over three and a half hours. I had this message that read, "You are next on the line," for over an hour. Eventually, they are wrote, 'we are offline.' Common, how do I make up the wasted time that I spent waiting?. I could have been working for God's sake. Maybe recruiting more staff like your counterpart mobile institutions will do. You guys have wasted my day

Bought a phone for my daughter in April, but after only a couple of months she can not call or recieve anything outside Wifi.. tuns out it might has something to do with the shutdown of 2G/3G, but why am I sitting here doing this??????????? Why am I doint their fck job? I am PAYING FOR A SERVICE I AM NOOOOOT GETTING. Do I hear anything from anyone? No.. Ofcourse not. I have do research this. I have to call first Elgiganten, then OnePlus who is just about to disappea from the market completely too, and now after reading an email, calling Hallon. This is the email from OnePlus:
I am sincerely sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue and I will try to offer the information we have available in order to clarify this matter. I appreciate your kind cooperation.
As we have discussed, due to the current 2G/3G shutdown in Sweden, phones now require VoLTE support in order to be able to make or receive calls in that region.
Carriers will be moving users away from older 2G and 3G networks, while expanding 4G and 5G coverage across Europe. In the future, users will need to make sure that they have a newer 4G or 5G-ready device to continue making calls, sending messages and using mobile data using the latest technology.
Normally, this phone supports VoLTE, but it also depends on the operator's support in the region.
We have 4 main operators that typically support VoLTE for OnePlus devices in Sweden: Telia, Telenor, 3 and Tele2.
For that reason, I have forwarded your case details for a review, to check whether Hallon supports VoLTE for OnePlus devices or not. I recommend you to also check with your carrier and confirm whether they are using Tre/3 network or not, or if they have any relation with it. They can also check if they can confirm whether VoLTE should be supported for OnePlus or not.
I do hope that this communication will further help in clarifying which other carrier you could consider, as the ability to enable VoLTE also depends on each carrier plan. You can try inserting a SIM card from any of the above four carriers that support VoLTE for OnePlus devices, and let me know if you can make or receive calls with another carrier.
The response to the feedback raised can be provided in a few days. In the meantime, if there is anything else you need or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will be here for you!
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
I wish you a lovely day ahead!
Kind regards,

Hallon is a good company, easy to change the subscription yourself to what suits you with just clear, simple, terms, as it should be.
Thank you! We are satisfied.

Upon reviewing the detailed invoices for my accounts, I found that Hallon is billing for multiple overlapping data sessions and claims this is normal. According to Apple's technical documentation, this is not possible. When confronted, they say it is because of the phone settings, which I also disproved and showed them verifiable proof that they are wrong. And, if that wasn't enough, there was a case of them billing 36 hours of data usage in a 24-hour day. They still take no responsibility and simply ignore this impossibility. Their service is very difficult to reach, won't do anything when presented with proof that what they are saying is incorrect, and won't escalate the issue. Chat took over 30 minutes to connect. They may be the least expensive option in Sweden, but not when your data runs out three times in one month because of billing that industry sources say is impossible.

It appears that I can't respond to Hallon's reply below, so I will add it to my review.
No, Lisa, I will not be contacting Hallon again. To be ignored three times and told the same incorrect information each time, and not have my issue taken seriously, is more than any customer should have to go through.
I don't see why you wouldn't reply that, given the circumstances, YOU will see that a technical investigation is made. So far, since my making this issue public, others have also found the same pattern of over-calculating data usage, and I am in contact with organizations in Sweden that have the power to make Hallon take this issue seriously.
Now, hopefully, they will because that seems to be the only thing that will make Hallon actually look into it.

I am so pleased with Hallon. I travel alot and the reception is seemless. They include the UK, which is the main destination I visit for family. Really love you network, hope you keep it up!
Reply from Hallon
I was happy with the simcard. I would give more useful information in brief to the customers in advance. Like more information about the pause, the free period and so.
