23rd May I cannot empathise enough how grateful I am to Nik and his team. Whilst my girlfriend and I were celebrating her birthday in Bournemouth her phone was unfortunately stolen.(22nd) When we arrived at the Basingstoke branch, she was feeling frustrated and upset due to the terrible experience we had at the Bournemouth branch while trying to report the stolen phone and have it blacklisted. Our disappointment and frustration with Three's handling of the situation were at an all-time high. However, Nik handled the situation with incredible grace and invited us to sit down and talk. He genuinely wanted to understand what had happened and how he could assist us. Understandably, my girlfriend was feeling extremely low and stressed, having her phone stolen on her birthday and losing valuable photos of our beloved pet, whom we sadly lost around this same time last year. While the device itself can be easily replaced, the contents held significant sentimental value, which unfortunately couldn't be recovered due to a lack of cloud backups on her old stolen phone. Despite this, Nik managed to calm her down and completely turned the entire experience around. Throughout our conversation, Nik demonstrated kindness, patience, and understanding. He not only helped us with a replacement SIM card but also offered her a new phone at an amazing price. He guided us on potential ways to recover the lost photos and videos through Google (we couldn't retrieve them due to the absence of cloud backups), but we truly appreciated his efforts. He then took the time to reassure us that the stolen phone had been blacklisted and rendered useless to whoever took it, which had been a major concern for my girlfriend and the primary reason we visited the Bournemouth branch where we received poor service. We had initially walked into the store fully prepared to terminate my girlfriend's contract with Three after she has been a loyal customer of 8 years. However, thanks to Nik, we both left the store with smiles on our faces, and my girlfriend was able to enjoy the remainder of her birthday weekend. Thank you again Nik for you kindness and support.
