To avoid the 30+ minute wait in the 0870 queue, call 01793 715 715 during office hours and ask them to put you through - you'll still have to wait, but at least you can wait for 1p/min instead of 7p!

Hi there!

Have you looked in the database?  If none of the numbers are of any use, could you please advise what it is for?

Thank you.

As Jamesbond says in his post, have you tried any of the other numbers on the database?

For example, try the customer services number and ask if you can be put through.

You can e-mail them, or their FAX number is on their web page, maybe try ringing a few numbers around it.... if they have support based on site, I am sure you can "find" the number the 0871 number diverts to..

I have replaced the technical support number with 715727.

Note customers in Ireland get a freephone number for support, and those in the UK get a premium rate one.

hi ...just to add that number 01793 715698 is no longer in use for Medion..dial it and you are informed of this automatically. The company is keen that customers now dial the 0871 number - 0871 376 1020....surprise, surprise !

the other day tried to call tech support on the 01793 715715 number I got through to what I assume is a standard customer service staff member, not a tech support staff member, she said she could not put me through to tech support as it is a seperate line with no connection from her telephone, she insisted I call the 0871 number, I tried several times over several days and kept being told the same thing by whoever anwered the 715 715 number, so looks like they,re now not wanting to divert calls from that number. Just thought I,d mention it for users of this site. Previously staff on the 715 715 number did put me through to tech support earlier this year, not now.

So any ideas re : alternative number now ?

Lifted this from their website:
About Us
Contact
MEDION Electronics Ltd.
120 Faraday Park
Faraday Road
Dorcan
SWINDON
Wiltshire, SN3 5JF
United Kingdom

Hotline:
(UK Customers) 0871 3761020 (calls are charged at 7p per minute from BT landline)
(ROI Customers) 1 800 992 508 (freephone)

Webshop:
(UK Customers) 0800 279 4145 (freephone)
(ROI Customers) 1 800 848 550 (freephone)

Fax: +44 (0)1793 715716

Internet: www.medion.co.uk

Would the hotline freephone for Irish customers work substituting 0 for the 1 or maybe try the freephone to the Webshop & get transferred?

We have yet to establish where technical support calls are answered. I can think of a number of possibilities:

1. They are answered at the Swindon office, in which case the staff can probably put calls through and the 01793 715xxx numbers may yield the answer.

2. They are answered at another UK office of Medion (if there is one) or at an outsourced provider elsewhere. In which case, we could do to find out the name (if it's an outsourced provider) and address.

3. They are answered at another of Medion's offices, perhaps in Germany (where the head office is based), so as to keep all support together.


MEDION AG
Am Zehnthof 77
D-45307 Essen
Germany

Phone: +49 201 8383 0


From the verified entries, we know that 01793 715715 is the reception. I have changed the description of 715727 to "Customer services", with a note to say that it's not technical support.

715700 is the voicemailbox for Nick Shenton, Managing Director. Not sure if it's ever picked up or if it ever goes through to a member of staff rather than a machine.

If calls are answered abroad, then that may be the reason that quite a few 7156xx numbers have foreign ringing on them.

715629 says "Thank you for calling the Medion" (synthesised voice) and then says to select the appropriate option, but then goes to foreign ringing.
715630 also starts off "Thank you for calling the Medion" (synthesised voice), but requests a customer number followed by pound sign.
715673 goes straight to music.


The Medion Shop number, 0800 279 4145, is answered with foreign ringing when it's open. It has a UK alternative: 715634. The closed message on this line is the same synthesised female voice as with 629 and 630.
