Make telecoms ethical, says business leader

Juliet Moran, who runs ethical telecoms business TelephoneSystems.cloud, believes more must be done to stamp out unethical pricing practices such as hidden fees, lengthy contracts and restrictive exit clauses that make it difficult for customers to leave.

She argues that customers should not be tied into long, punitive contracts and says stronger action is needed to tackle hidden fees, unclear small print and unexpected additional costs.

Juliet says unethical practices across the telecoms sector give the whole industry a bad name and create widespread cynicism among customers — something ethical providers such as TelephoneSystems.cloud must then work harder to overcome.

While some companies have moved towards clearer billing in recent years, there are increasing calls for providers to go further by abolishing lengthy contracts and hidden cancellation fees altogether.

These practices remain prevalent in many sectors, including telecoms, where discounted introductory deals are used to attract new customers before locking them into long contracts with unexpected charges or near-impossible exit terms.

Juliet Moran now believes it is time for the government to step in and do more to combat unethical pricing practices.

“Unethical pricing policies and dodgy business practices give the whole sector a bad name. At TelephoneSystems.cloud we are committed to ethical pricing, but many in the telecoms sector continue to operate rogue pricing policies.

We believe the time has come for new legislation around contracts and hidden terms. Customers need to be confident they are getting a fair deal and won’t be hit in the wallet by unexpected fees.

Lengthy contracts with hidden terms that make it extremely hard to exit should be abolished. The same applies to deals that entice customers with so-called free phones, only for them to discover they must later pay vastly inflated prices to leave the contract, making exit practically impossible.

We have had businesses call us in tears after realising they are paying ten times more than they should be, crippling their operations. Many are shocked to discover hidden clauses stating they must pay inflated prices for ‘free’ phones when they leave, or that their contract has automatically rolled over into another seven-year term without their knowledge.

With the cost of living crisis, inflation, and rising costs of goods and services, businesses are already under pressure. The government has a role to play in removing tactics that are designed to entrap customers.”
