Our complaint handling procedures
1GLOBAL endeavours to make the customer experience a very good one but at times you may feel that you would like to raise a complaint about our service or if you have a billing dispute. This section sets out how to make a complaint and your rights to refer a dispute to an independent ombudsman.
1. Complaints about our service
If you're not happy with our service or would like to complaint about any billing aspect of your 1GLOBAL account or would like to complaint on billing or charges incurred whilst using the 1GLOBAL service please contact us first by calling 707 from your 1GLOBAL device, or 020 3318 0742 (charged at standard operator rates), or by sending us an e-mail at business.help@1global.com. Once you have lodged a complaint with us, we will acknowledge the complaint in writing to you and provide you with reasonable progress updates in relation to resolving the compliant where appropriate. Our customer services team will assist you and will try and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Once the complaint has been resolved we will issue you with a written communication confirming the final decision made on your complaint.

The unique reference number you submitted with the complaint, which will be used to identify and track your complaint;

We will keep a record of your complaint for time necessary to resolve or for such other longer terms as we may be required or lawfully authorized to keep such records.
The following details shall be recorded:
Your name, account number assigned to services by us, and contact details including a phone number and/or email address;

5. Refund
Where you purchase Services from 1GLOBAL refunds may be considered, however will be considered and granted on a case-by-case basis and only if the relevant eSIM Data Plan has not already expired AND you have not used more data than reasonably necessary to inspect the quality of the service and further may depend on the details of the complaint. If refund will be considered such information will be provided in the complaint determination. Where a refund is granted, it is typically applied as a refund to the same payment method that was used to purchase 1GLOBAL services.
6. Deadlock letter
1GLOBAL will endeavour to resolve all issues in a timely manner. If we are unable to resolve your complaint satisfactorily, we will issue a "deadlock" letter so that you may make a complaint through an independent alternative dispute resolution scheme or other if preferred by you due to you place of living. We will provide you with details of this service in a deadlock letter. Alternatively, if more than 10 days has passed since you first made your complaint and we have not provided you with the feedback, you can contact the below ADR scheme directly or other depending on your place or residence (please see listed below).
