We are Inspire Telecom Limited, a company with registration Number 11841822, with its registered office and principal place of business at Alpha House, Laser Quay, Rochester, Kent, England, ME2 4HU (“Inspire Telecom” “us” or “we”).

We aim to provide you with the highest quality of service and take complaints extremely seriously. If you believe we have not met this standard, please inform us.

This Complaints Code outlines our policy and procedures for handling complaints, ensuring they are addressed efficiently, effectively, and fairly. The purpose of this Complaints Policy is to guide you on how to make a complaint and the steps to take if necessary.

How to Make a Complaint

If you have a complaint about our service, please contact our Customer Services team using one of the following methods:

By Phone:

This is the quickest way to register a complaint, and we often resolve issues on the first call. To complain about our services, dial 0330 122 9488. Our phone lines are open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday and 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday and Bank Holidays (Closed Christmas Day & New Years Day). If you prefer a call-back, mention it during your initial call, and we will arrange it.

PLEASE NOTE: Calls to 0330 numbers are charged at standard geographic call rates and are often included in your price plan at no extra charge. Check with your provider for rates.

If you contact us by phone, we will gather information about your complaint while reviewing details about you and the provided service. We will attempt to resolve the complaint during the call. Depending on the circumstances, we may transfer you to another department or manager. If we cannot resolve the complaint during the call, we will explain the reasons, provide an estimated resolution time, and explain how we’ll keep you updated.

By E-mail:

Customers can email complaints to support@inspiretelecom.co.uk

Please include the following information in your email:

  • Your Inspire Telecom account number.
  • Your full name.
  • The date the issues started.
  • Names of any Inspire Telecom service advisors or managers you previously dealt with.
  • A description of your complaint.


If you contact us by email, we will review your complaint while examining details about you and the provided service. We will ensure your email reaches the appropriate department for investigation. While we normally respond by phone, in some cases, or if we can’t reach you by phone, we’ll reply to your email.

We prioritise email complaints and strive to resolve them within 10 working days. We will keep you informed if more time is required.

Customers should receive an automatic acknowledgement of their email. If not, please call us on 0330 122 9488 or post your complaint to the address below.

By Post:

Customers may send complaints by post. We recommend using recorded or tracked postage for proof of delivery.

Ensure any posted complaint includes the information described in the email section above titled: “Please include the following information in your email”.

Additional Assistance

If preferred, you can appoint an authorised representative or advocate to engage with us on your behalf. Notify us in writing if you wish to do so.

How we will investigate your complaint

We aim to resolve most complaints during your initial contact, doing our best for a quick resolution.

Upon receiving a complaint, we will acknowledge it within 2 working days via your preferred method — phone or email.

If you haven’t received human acknowledgement within 2 working days, call our main number to confirm receipt.

We will provide a unique reference number for follow-up assistance.

We will update you on the complaint’s progress, proposed actions, and the expected resolution timeframe.

If more information is needed, we will request it from you promptly.

Please supply any requested information as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back within a reasonable time, we’ll provide results based on the available information.

Some complaints may take longer than 10 days to resolve. In such cases, we will offer regular updates on progress and likely resolution timeframe.

We will notify you of the complaint’s outcome in writing once a resolution is agreed.

Unresolved Disputes

If unsatisfied after our initial response, you can request escalation to a manager.

A Manager will respond within 5 working days, provided you followed the steps described above.

If manager escalation doesn’t yield a satisfactory outcome, you can write to the Operations Director.

Ensure you’ve lodged the complaint with our customer service advisors or managers before contacting the Operations Director.

If still unsatisfied or if we haven’t resolved your complaint within 8 weeks of your first complaint, we will issue an “ADR/Deadlock letter.” This allows you to take your complaint to our independent Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider, Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme (CISAS).

Make sure you’ve lodged a complaint directly with us before approaching CISAS Service.

You can only lodge a complaint with them if you haven’t received a satisfactory resolution within 8 weeks of lodging your complaint with us.

Complaint Records

We will retain electronic and paper records of complaints for at least 6 months from the complaint date. Your personal data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Further Steps

If your issue isn’t resolved to your satisfaction after the initial contact, you’re encouraged to escalate the matter to a manager. Should the problem still remain unresolved after following these steps, you may qualify for independent adjudication.

Independent Adjudication

For unresolved disputes, the Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme (CISAS) provides independent adjudication. This service is available to customers with no more than 10 employees. Larger businesses are advised to seek independent advice. You can approach CISAS if we haven’t reached a settlement within eight weeks of receiving your complaint or if both parties agree that the dispute cannot be resolved internally. CISAS offers a free service for eligible customers, ensuring a fair and impartial resolution based purely on the merits of the case. This service pertains to telecom services, including telephone, mobile, and internet access.
