If the call was returned to you perhaps they (UW) call the affiliate associated with you and get him to call you back?

Could be the way it worked, dunno.

Utility Wharehouse is a network marketing company. Their distrabutors, pay the £199.00 to join up and sell Utility Wharehouse products on to us.

This is the reason some of us havent heard from them. They dont advertise because their business model if based on Network Marketing.

While I know a few of their distrabutors, who are actually nice people, and im sure J4KEddie is a nice person, but Utility Wharehouse is still shite. Its just the way they do things that wind me up. My girl friend was put on one of their mobile contracts that was supposed to save her money, but its ended up costing more than her old contract. Shes on some wierd contract where she gets either 200 minutes or 200 texts. Sound ok but but she gets bills of £25 for that.

Their support like the other utility companies is an 0845 number, expensive and long winded.

The technical staff treat you like an idiot

And their gas smells funny.

I shouldn't be awake this early!!!1 MySleep pattern is loved at the moment. I keep very strange waking hours...

Firstly, thank you J4KEddie for you're openness on this and have a stafford point from me :)

I will admit I was wrong and Trumpet did indeed speak to you not some faceless cube-farm phone monkey (no offence meant to any faceless cube-farm phone monkeys that read this) :monkey:

Now not wanting to bash you again but...

Check out the "make money with us" link on MY site ! Come and join ???
If http://www.telecomplus.org.uk is owned by you, do own Utility Warehouse Ltd too? The whois information on the two domains is a little incomplete but has shocking similarities:

Whois said:
Domain name: utilitywarehouse.co.uk
Registrant: Utility Warehouse Ltd
Registrant type: UK Limited Company, (Company number: 4594421)
Registrant's address:
Dryden House,
London
NW2 6EW
United Kingdom
Registrar: KCOM Group Plc [Tag = MISTRAL] URL: http://www.mistral.net

Domain name: telecomplus.org.uk
Registrant: Telecom Plus
Registrant type: Unknown
Registrant's address:
Dryden House,
London
NW2 6EW
United Kingdom
Registrar: KCOM Group Plc [Tag = MISTRAL] URL: http://www.mistral.net
That aside http://www.telecomplus.org.uk is not a website! It is a domain name nothing more.

www.telecomplus.org.uk is a domain name used to redirect affiliate traffic; roughly 237 different affiliates or offers run by affiliates.

I'll give you an example:

the evidence said:
http://www.telecomplus.org.uk redirects to: https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/home/index.taf a clean non affiliated version of UW homepage.

http://www.telecomplus.org.uk/eddiesaves redirects to: https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/home/index.taf?exref=594688

Which is the UW homepage with and affiliate ID slapped on the end.
If you own www.telecomplus.org.uk and have recruited all those affiliates MyHat is off to you sir.

I assume if you recruit me you get commission on what I earn (only fair). I will join your affiliate scheme through your 'website' on two conditions:

1 I can have a Utility Warehouse Ltd money box to put all MyEarnings in
yebtauc

2 You wave the £199.75 induction fee.
MyTerms are non negotiable.


Coincidently:


Paul Daniels has done some work
with Utility Warehouse too, magic :)

I don't know about anyone else, but I loathe salesmen so the thought of calling someone who benefits from how I choose to proceed irritates me. I don't want to talk to someone if they have a vested interest in me taking a product, and I hate pushy people. Its like when you ask the price of something and they say 'make me an offer'. No! Tell me what you want and I'll decide if its reasonable, if you are not willing to tell me what you want for it I shall not entertain you any longer. Despite being on the TPS I still get at least a dozen calls a week from people wanting to sell me stuff, although few stay on long once I start telling them what I'll do to their mothers if they call again.

Anyway. If there was a way to put all your info in, and get some figures out, without talking to someone, I'd go on and give it a try. As there isn't, I won't. This may or may not apply to other people, maybe I'm just strange like that! I do seem to hate salesmen though....

Actually, are you interested in a system that does what I said? If the information is available it can't be too hard to write a prog to calculate best choices based on usage etc?

TPS, that reminds me. As soon as my girlfriend switched to Utility Wharehouse, the sales calls started coming in. Its almost as if Utility Wharehouse sold her number on to a bunch of marketing people. Now that really farking pisses me off.

I used utility wharehouse 2 years ago, and it happened to me. I stupidly recomended utility wharehouse to my girlfriend and now have a lot of egg on my face.

How's Utility Warehouse going to be cheaper when Utility Warehouse themselves must take a cut, then the salesman takes a cut, and the buyer gets a specific product cheaper than they would by going direct? Hows that work... or am I miss understanding this. Isn't it always better to cut out the middleman as you have to pay one party less?

I know exactly how affiliate marketing, network marketing and server side redirects work (so do a lot on here).

If Utility Warehouse Authorised Distributors have their own hosted websites then I have my own hosted website on Facebook.

It's a profile page, nothing more. You have however been very kind and generous in your explanation :bananarock:

To be honest my only real gripe was that you implied ownership. I know it's just marketing speak and they probably teach you to talk like that, but it feels like the paper boy telling me he owns the Guardian.

NO unfortunately I don't own the company
Now you have clarified I am happy :D

OK one last question, should I join do I get to meet Paul Daniels, or perhaps the lovely Debbie?

bobs your aunties brother !
Bob's... my dad?
Are you from Norfolk?.
If Bob is my aunty's brother, it's either my dad, or no relation if she is an aunty by marriage.

For Bob to be my Uncle he is either one of my parent's brother, or my aunty's husband. Unless you account for civil partnerships, in which case, Bob could be my Uncle's husband, and also my Uncle.

Wait, I didn't account for the possibity of my parent having multiple siblings, in which case Bob could be my Uncle AND my aunty's brother after all. Man, I'm a dumbass. Hey, J4KEddie, which is it? THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Edit: swears
