Quip Reviews

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 ...  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. Still, I was paying 50p per minute just to make that ...  Read the complete review

Once a OneTel customer (along with a few other service providers) it comes as a pleasent surprise to find a decent service provider. There is one main reason to use Quip! (for me in any case) and that is their offerings in terms of long distance calls. There are a few companies out there offering the option of cheap long ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Like many earlier writers, it was the 'free internet' offer on LineOne that attracted me to QUIP. I checked the prices and found that I would apparently save a bundle AND get free access ... whoopee!! Since my wife is foreign, 75%+ of my call charges are IDD and of the rest, most are National rather than local .... better and better. ...  Read the complete review

The main selling point of Quip used to be that you could get completely free internet access from line-one. But since the ISP went under, there has been no point in buying it except cheaper calls, which many other companies offer anyway, without a minimum call amount per month. Even if you were to save money, it would have to be worth the ...  Read the complete review

As with many others, I first started using the service as a result of free internet calls with LineOne and wasn't impressed - connection was impossible during free internet times and consequently I never actually used it for calls. But since I was paying £5 a month, it seemed silly not to use the calls I was essentially paying for, so started ...  Read the complete review

Needing to make daily transatlantic calls, I needed a cheap, reliable alternative to BT's excessive call charges. After a spell with Prestophone, Quip came to the rescue. A very reasonable 3.5 pence per minute call charge to the US, 24 hours a day was still a saving of 0.5p over Prestophone (now Telco Supersaver) and with no need to ...  Read the complete review

I first signed up to Quip when they teamed up with Lineone to offer unmetered internet access. On the whole, I find them quite good, although they do seem to be rather inept on the administrative side of things. The people who benefit the most from this kind of telephone service are those who make a lot of phone calls abroad, or those who ...  Read the complete review

I started using quip while they still had free Internet access line one promotion and I really haven't got much to complain about them. I am using ntl as a telephone company and one day I got fed up with their customer service and decided to lower my phone bills to a bare minimum.It's not an easy task when you make lots of international ...  Read the complete review

My initial contact with Quip was through its association with Lineone's unlimited internet access deal. When this came to an end as financially unsustainable - I retained my use of Quip for some telephone calls as their rates are very competitative and SOME beat those of One.tel (who generally seem to be the cheapest). Weekend national calls ...  Read the complete review

I've heard a lot about Quip but their latest offer of a 30 min int'l call for 1p inspired me to join. Signing up online was easy and straight forward and the offer of 1p for a call was for the first call that you make using their service. I have made a few calls so far (I have a lot of family still back in Australia) and have found that ...  Read the complete review

I joined Quip in April and have had nothing but grief since then. I make quite a lot of calls to family and friends in Sweden and from day 1 they've been charging all my calls to landlines as calls to mobile phones (which conveniently carry 3 times the charge of a call to a landline). When I first started complaining I was told that I was ...  Read the complete review

I am a great fan of OneTel (see my review) but Quip have taken over from them on some calls. Basically, Quip (which is mysteriously part-owned by BT)make a minimum charge of 5p but thereafter charge in seconds (like BT do). The advantage here is when you are making the more expensive calls such as Kuwait at 36p a minute, the same charge ...  Read the complete review
