Eircom Reps keep calling and won't take no for an answer!

    For the love of god can you please tell your reps to stop calling to my house it's getting really annoying and they obviously can't take no for an answer.

    I had another caller to my door last night, my wife ended up calling me to the door as he wouldn't take no for an answer, had another guy call three times before Xmas all in the same week and he was extremely pushy and rude the third time round, even had a tablet with him ready to test my line.
    This type of calling to my door has been ongoing for months now, let me be perfectly clear, "I have no interest in signing up with Eircom", I'm a Vodafone customer and a very happy one at that plus I'm tied into a contract with them, but no matter how many times I tell your reps this they keep calling!

    If they call again just ask them to wait a second after you answer the door, then close the door and go back to what you were doing! if they ring the bell tell them you have called the Guards to report them stalking you.

    Hi hellboy99

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused here, as you are a Vodafone customer, the process to ensure no further contact from sales reps is to contact Vodafone and make your number and account "suppressed" to such activities which will also stop any sales calls and approaches from eircom representatives.

    Regards

    Should this not be done automatically for accounts which are within contract periods? also does this stop door callers?

    Hi foggy_lad

    This is not automatically done for people who are in existing contracts and yes this should stop customers being approached by sales representatives from eircom.

    If it was done for all accounts within contract it would save many people a lot of hassle from these sales people who work for all networks/operators.

    I done the above mentioned near 6 months ago, even changed my phone number, but it hasn't stopped the calling to my door. Why are your reps not even taking note of what I say? three times in the one week the same rep called to my door, three times he got the same response, thats not far off harassment.

    I found a way of getting rid of sales reps at the door - I tell them that I'm not allowed to make any decisions without my husband being present - they look slightly confused as they walk out of the garden.

    Hi hellboy99

    Would you be able to PM me with your address, new telephone number, name on account and mobile contact number please. I will re-check this with managers in our door to door sales team.

    Thanks, Mark

    Interesting, we'll see if they call again. If they do make sure to take their name.

    The last Eircom reps that called to my door were told very firmly to F*ck Off, and haven't been back since. If they do come back again, they'll get <SNIP>
