Everything Everywhere is set to invest £50 million into its stores and customer service operations, including a new development academy designed to train its 12,000 employees.
The overhaul of the customer service programme aims to create highly trained agents who specialise in particular mobile operating systems.
The aim is to prevent the need to transfer customers between different departments and the programme follows successful trials which showed “dramatic improvements” in the resolution of issues at the first point of contact as well as customer service quality measurements.
“It is our goal to create the best customer experience in the UK so that customers can trust us with their digital lives,” said Jackie O’Leary, chief customer officer at Everything Everywhere. “This new service approach responds directly to how our customers are now using their devices, the service they expect and how our people look after them. Being the first in the industry to champion something new is exciting and we are extremely pleased by the amazing feedback we are receiving from our customers, our people and the handset manufacturers and operating systems we represent.”
Everything Everywhere has also announced it will be upgrading its retail outlets as part of its plans to sell both Orange and T-Mobile products from the same store.
Further integration between the two brands was demonstrated last week by the completion of the Smart Signal project which allows seamless sharing of both 3G networks. The process, which began last year, is part of a wider £1.5 billion investment into the Everything Everywhere network.

Can not send any emails to anyone on EE or orange to make a formal complaint, every email comes back on delivered. Not a very good start
Customer service is disgraceful! I have just had cause to contact CEO by E-mail as my complaint seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
All their staff tell you different stories, it is so frustrating to be "fobbed off" ALL THE TIME.
Come on EE, your customers are just as important as your staff.
EE mobile, Poor customer service, and slow internet speed, slower than 3G. No email contact, if you managed to find email contact addresses, they bounce.
