What is our Promise?

We want you to know that we offer 'Our Promise' as standard to all our customers. We offer 4 guarantees, and these are:

  • 14 Day Money Back Guarantee

If you are unhappy with your phone you can return it to us within 14 days of purchase without any reason

If you’re not entirely satisfied with your purchase, for whatever reason, you can make arrangements to return it within a period of 14 days. All you need to do is call us direct on 0870 950 3292 and we will discuss the process over the phone with you. Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive which can be found at http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2000/20002334.htm

  • Lowest Prices Guarantee

If you find the same deal cheaper elsewhere then we’ll match 100% of the difference

We'll give you 100% of the difference back if you can find the same product and offer cheaper on another UK registered company website or retail store.

We will only do this if the offer is available to purchase from stock either at the time of purchase or within 7 days of your purchase from ultramobiles.co.uk. You will need to present your receipt where you have already purchased.

We will not do this for opening, closing down, ex-display, clearance, re-furbished, special order, members only or extended warranty prices.

We will check the websites of our key competitors everyday to try and ensure we give you the best prices and value available.

  • Next Day Delivery before Midday Guarantee

On all orders placed before 6pm Monday to Friday

We guarantee to dispatch all accepted orders placed by 6pm the same day for next day delivery, Monday to Friday. Orders placed after 6pm on a Friday will be dispatched on a Monday for next day delivery on a Tuesday. The Royal Mail do not guarantee deliveries on a Saturday but they endeavour to do so. We will provide you with a unique postal reference number should you wish to track your order on the Royal Mail website www.royalmail.co.uk. If you are out a card will be left through the letterbox where arrangements for collection can be made.

  • Purchase Protection Guarantee

If you buy a phone from us and we lower the price within 7 days we’ll give you the difference back

This commitment provides you with the confidence that should we lower our prices within 7 days of your purchase you can apply for a credit to the same value. Simply write to or e-mail us and we will raise a credit to this value.

My application was unsuccessful

Applications are processed and assessed using a credit scoring process that also includes a credit check with a credit reference agency called Equifax. When credit checking a number of areas are considered such as:

  • Past credit performance
  • CCJ's
  • Number of Credit Searches
  • Electoral role status
  • Credit file content
  • Good/Bad data held

Even if a credit application appears to be clear either the network or ultramobiles.co.uk still have a right to decline your application.

If you have not been successful with your application, you can request to view your credit file from Equifax directly by sending a £2.00 cheque to the address below, made payable to Credit File Advice Centre.

Credit File Advice Centre
PO Box 1140

What do I do if I want to transfer my old number to my new phone
If you require your existing mobile number to be ported onto your new contract, simply contact your existing supplier to obtain your PAC code. Order your handset as normal from ourselves which will be connected with a 'temporary number' on 3. Upon receipt, you must contact 3 directly by calling '333' from a 3 mobile phone or 0870 733 0333 (other mobile phone networks or landlines) quoting your 'temporary number' along with the number you wish to port across (your existing number) plus your PAC code.

Your existing number will then be transferred within 7 working days.

Once the transfer has taken place your ported number will function as your voice-calling number and your temporary number will function as the video-calling number. To receive Video calls you will need to provide your temporary ‘3’ number to people wishing to call you as Video Calling will not work via your 'ported/transferred' existing number.

Step 1
The first 3 months (12 month contract) or 6 months (18 month contract) ½ price line rental will credited directly by '3' onto your account. e.g. therefore if you have a 6 months half price line rental offer on an 18 month contract then you need not do anything.
Step 2
If you have an offer greater than 3 months (12 month contract) or greater than 6 months (18 month contract) then you will need to make a claim to obtain your cashback. The number of claims depends on the number of months the offer is based (as shown in the tables above).
Step 3
You will need to send the relevant bill within 14 days of receipt of the date shown on the bill to ultramobiles.co.uk. We will then credit your bank account directly by BACS transfer if you pay your monthly bill by Direct Debit or by cheque for other payment types. The relevant bill means the bill corresponding to the claim period as shown in the table above e.g. if you have a 9 months half price line rental offer (with an 18 month contract) then you must send a copy of your month 9 bill to ultramobiles.co.uk within 14 days of receipt of the date shown on the bill. This is so we can validate that you are still within the terms of your contract.
Step 4
Please send your claims by post to:
Reduced Line Rental Claims Team,
P.O. Box 436,
Harpenden,
Hertfordshire.
AL5 3WZ
You need to know that (applies to all reduced line rental offers):
If you change your price plan within the 12 month period of your contract you will invalidate your claim. If you have received any payments from ultramobiles.co.uk prior to changing your price plan or cancelling your agreement then we will look to recover these payments. If your account payments aren't kept up to date and are in areas at the time of the claim you will invalidate your claim. ultramobiles.co.uk will look to recoup any loss incurred should your account fall into arrears and you are found to be in breach of your airtime contract with '3'.
