Quip

Stay away - wasters - Advantages: NONE - Disadvantages: Paid and received nothing, No refund, NO appology or explanation!

I have been with QUIP now for about 18 months. I first got them, not by choice, as such, it was part of Lineone?s 24/7 access package, where you had to spend at least £5 a month on national and international calls using the QUIP service, which you also signed up for. This was good for me, as I have a lot of friends in the States. I was also in Wales at the time, at college, and the house I lived in had a payphone installed, and the landlord charged a lot on this phone. (it was cheaper to ring my parents on my mobile than it was from this phone). This meant I could use this QUIP phone and ring my parents etc over this, making it much cheaper, and the landlord never ...  Read the complete review

I've been a Quip customer for well over a year and have come to rely on them. Before I was with Quip, I was with BT, mindlessly calling my friends in the States and asking them to call me back. Thankfully, most of them were better off financially than me and also of good will so would do so.

Firstly I could sign-up online which took all of ten minutes. Your obvious details are required, your name address, telephone and bank account details. Once you have done this it normally takes upto 24 hours to activate the account. For the ...  Read the complete review

When I called my sister in the US and had BT, I used to beg her to call me back because my phone bill would be so enormous. For one minute, I would be paying something like 60p and it added up. Finally, after taking a recommendation from a friend and overcoming sheer laziness, I signed up with Quip.co.uk and have since saved a lot of money. It is very easy to use- just a matter of dialling 4 digits to connect to the Quip network. It is also convenient since you can use it anywhere- from any phone- BT or non-BT both, mobiles, phone boxes, office phones, etc. To access Quip from a mobile phone, you only need to dial an 0845 number so it no longer costs you money ...  Read the complete review
