If i could give 0 stars i would miss sold phones and broadband by shane from yorkshire office then tried to cancel everything was told by carly murry would be getting cancelled then didnt hear from them couldnt get in touch via email or via telephone i am now taking this matter to a solicitor they are the worst company ever to deal with DO NOT BUY FROM THEM DO NOT EVEN BOTHER TAKING THERE CALLS THEY ARE NOT BT THEY ARE SCAMMERS

I wished that I had read the bad reviews before placing an order with these people.
They promise the earth and deliver nothing and then disappear when you sign the Contract.
Even when promises from them are in writing it gets altered on the contract and they never mention the 5 year contract they get you to sign until its to late.

BTlocal, sounds like BT, right?Think you might be getting BT, but local... oh no oh no oh no.... it's just a useless rip-off, self-enriching franchise... Where you get to pay more for your basic services, while being in a strange state of zombiehood where BT takes your money, but does not recognise you have their services...

Absolutely the worst of both worlds. BT is itself atrocious... The countless days I have spent talking to Indian techs, half I could, extremely embarrassingly, not even understand... is triggering me, even now...but that is nothing compared to finding out that, the commission grabbing, "trade manager" does not respond to calls or messages... they do not give one plantable duck about service. Just taking their commission and have a good laugh at you.

After, what felt like years, I finally get to the source of all my problems... it is my BT local (which is not BT, but a strange rip-off franchise) I call in to my "local" Gloucester, Wiltshire and Wales branch and when I explain my difficulties, he just puts the phone down on me. (Luckily I recorded his voice for the Ombudsman.)

What a filthy, disgusting piece of.. local capitalism.

If ever you have to, and my gods, I hope you never find yourself so desperate to try BT local, record all conversations... BT local has the appalling reputation that it has, because it is thoroughly deserved... No questions.

FYI, the reason I ended up in this situation was my new shop address was considered,by OpenReach, Silver, not Gold... it all came from this... Do your research... even if you think you are desperate for a solution, a little time and work now, you save you an absolute fortune in money and stress

I have learned the hard way. These things can simply be resolved... Which reviews will help. There are plenty of UK broadband suppliers, and phone line suppliers, that will easily wipe the floor of BT and it's rip-off spawn, BT local..

Their joke is on me,at least for a short while...It will NEVER happen again...

Very irritating, contact you kind of pretending to be BT, but they are not BT. Have no clue what they are talking about and are just emailing people randomly hoping someone might give them time of day. Have now blocked their emails.

BT Local Business Norfolk Suffolk branch agent Joshua Sivier made us sign paperwork misrepresenting himself and providing misleading information. Although I warned him and his team several times to cancel the agreement, he keeps ordering the service on behalf of our company, which offers fraudulent rubbish service. I am now in the process of legal proceedings since they caused us to lose more than £10,000 worth of customers.

Terrible service yet again! I don't know why I use them. Having been told the One Phone was being ended, I agreed to sign up for Business Cloud Voice, great option and made sense. I completed the paper work for month end in August, rushed to get it through etc, waited, waited and then had to resign paperwork for some reason. The Phone was finally set up in October! I was told that I would have no early leaving penalty, which has worked so all good. However, I have been billed for onePhone for October, I will have to pay November and December also as they didnt close the account when promised. I will be having to pay hundreds of pounds for a service I don't use and can't use! Having sent numerous emails I have had no reply what so ever! SHAME ON YOU!

If i could give zero i would.
Do not i repeat do not deal with BT local business team in Scotland.
customer service non-existent. Mis sold products. misinformation. massive mistake.
we have ongoing complaint for past 5 months due to their ineptitude and hopefully will be released from our contract, yes that is exactly how badly misrepresented things have been.

We were told by BT Local Business that we *had* to move to BT Cloud Voice because our existing phone system was “no longer supported.” That was over three months ago, and since switching, it has been nothing short of a nightmare.

We were assured there would be no disruption and that our service would remain exactly the same — yet for the past six weeks, our phone system has barely functioned. Our welcome message does not play correctly, calls fail to divert, and on several occasions, customers have been stuck on endless hold with no phones ringing at all.

Despite countless phone calls and over 40 hours wasted speaking to both BT and BT Local, the issue remains unresolved. We have been passed from one department to another, with nobody taking responsibility. The salesperson who signed us up conveniently hides behind emails and is never available to speak.

We are absolutely disgusted by the level of incompetence and lack of accountability shown by BT Local Business. Our company has suffered significant disruption and lost business because of their false assurances and broken promises. After years as a loyal BT customer, we have completely lost faith in the organisation — this experience has been appalling from start to finish.

BT Local Business (Plymouth) called us yet again today, despite me asking them via email on 20/10/2025 to remove our number from their database. We have had our most recent contract with BT Business Direct as we were previously mi-sold a previous contract from BT Local Business. I haven't renewed my contract with BT Business Direct yet as we are will need to upgrade our phone line to full fibre and this needs co-ordinating with our security alarm provider. My genuine BT Business Direct account manager knows this as I've discussed it with him with no pressure to renew until I've sorted it.
BT Local Business are a separate independent company as noted on the bottom of their emails
"CoasTel Communications Ltd is an independently owned and operated business. BT and the BT Corporate Logo are trade marks of British Telecommunications plc used under license by the licensee, CoasTel Communications Ltd."
This company denied having received my email, and ring almost weekly, and today have claimed that if my contact details are removed from their database that if I have any faults with my line It won't be dealt with as I will have been removed from their system! I don't have an account with them, it's with BT directly.
These people are miss-selling under the BT name and frankly BT should remove the license from them.

Mis-selling by BT Local Business. Called me near to my end of contract. I said I didn't want to pay any more than I was currently and was assured that a 'special deal' was available which would be very close to what I'm paying. On receiving the contract, realised that the figure quoted was excluding VAT so would obviously bring the cost much higher.

If I could give this company zero stars, I would.
They don’t deserve any!

Over three months after placing an order, we were still no further forward. Their sales tactics are aggressive, and they’re happy to provide misleading information just to close a deal. Once you’ve signed the contract, any sense of customer care disappears completely.

Thankfully, we’ve now managed to arrange a new contract with BT Business Direct instead.

Do not deal with this incompetent company — I wish I hadn’t.

Sent me a very plausible email , good idea i looked up bt website

Avoid this lot

This company is NOT BT, they will sell you the wrong package, and you will not be able to conact them about this... Have been reported for bad practice.... If you want a BT account, go to BT.... THIS IS NOT BT!

A menagerie of negligent, compulsive liars. Tried to force so called 'lease lines' down our throat for £600p/m and when we refused, our service diminished considerably. Coincidence? Who knows. Our main landline number for our business was removed and we haven't had inbound calls for 4 weeks!! THESE JESTERS AREN'T EVEN BT, DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRAP.

Honestly the worst business I’ve ever dealt with.
Not only did they mislead me into signing up 5 months ago, they couldn’t even install the telephone line correctly. We are a veterinary hospital caring for beloved animals, and this company has failed us at every stage. Our phone services have gone down over 10 times in just 5 months, never had issues before this is all due to their failures. They constantly put the phone down on you and promise call-backs that never happen. Their negligence has cost me thousands of pounds and severely damaged my business and reputation.

STAY AWAY IF YOU KNOW WHATS BEAT FOR YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS it’s simply not worth the risk.

Terrible company pretend to be BT themselves.

They have called me 2-3 times a week for the last 3 years and each time I have asked to never call me again but they keep calling.

Management terrible spoke to one today who was as much use as a washing machine on a nudist camp.

Terrible customer service, you can call them 5 times and 5 people will all tell you something different and still no sort out your issue.

Unfortunately i had to call at the local office based in Harlow today as this company masquerading as BT ( they mearly sell you the contracts Jay-Bee Telecom is the actual company and only have the logos etc under licence ) fails to respond to emails. The nature of those emails relates to a service promised that we never received or haven’t had in 13 years and my wife was pressured into digitally signing something in a rush for something that didnt work. We was told it was being investigated some 8 weeks ago - then all lines of communication fell silent relating to a contract signed for back in October. Next stop it seems is the small claims court for JB - and a serious complaint made to BT themselves. Hopefully the managing director will read this and instruct his operations manager to respond to emails, which by the way is how professional companies work although i wont hold my breath waiting. Avoid .

BT Local Business, 1, 3 Railton Rd, Kempston, Bedford MK42 7PN.

THIS IS NOT BT!!!! Be very aware, this company is just another phone provider and not BT. They are a BT franchise. They are totally dishonest and will make out they are BT, they are not, they are JTalk Ltd. We have too many issues trying to sort out a phone system, we were Duped to believe we were dealing directly with BT, even when there are issues to be resolved and things felt wrong, the company will still be silent to the fact that they ARE NOT BT. Do not make the same mistake as I did and do not be Duped by this company. They are NOT BT.

Absolutely appalling business internet hub not working since Tuesday and can’t take payments for cafe or use delivery apps and business phone as everything is connected via wifi .
On calling Tuesday morning poor unhelpful customer assistance . Promised next day delivery of hub but not delivered .
The assistant didn’t even bother to put my phone line via my mobile so I could receive calls.. But she wasn’t interested and was disengaged throughout the call so wasn’t surprised . Not happy with Bt and poor communication .
