  What types of complaints does Otelo not look at ?

Yes. There are some areas of complaint that we are not allowed to deal with. These are:

  • products or services that are not rented or bought from member companies; 
     
  • the location of telegraph poles and mobile phone masts; 
     
  • cable and wiring inside your property; 
     
  • the content of internet sites- such as adverts or pop- ups; 
     
  • the content of calls, emails, text messages, or any other type of message; 
     
  • complaints about premium rate service providers - such as competition or voting lines starting with an 09 number; 
     
  • problems that we think would be better dealt with by courts, arbitration services or other complaints procedures; 
     
  • problems that are already being dealt with by courts or other complaints procedures; 
     
  • employment and staff issues in member companies;
     
  • cases that we consider unjustified or malicious;
     
  • commercial decisions made by member companies about whether to provide a product or service, and the terms under which they may be provided - such as the prices charged for monthly line rental;  
     
  • disagreements between providers of telecoms services about providing those services.
