Reporting a Fault
Who should I contact if I have a fault on my line?
Once your line has switched to Pure Telecom you should contact Pure Customer Care if you are experiencing any difficulties with your telephone service.
Is there anything I am required to do before I log a fault?
We request you to test your line with an alternative handset. This will eliminate the possibility of it being a handset fault and you incurring a call out charge. We also request that you check any connections in the house which may have been altered by recent works.
How long does it take to repair a fault?
Once a fault is reported it may take between 48 hours to 5 working days depending on the severity of the fault. On average faults are repaired within 2 working days, however there may be circumstances which require longer periods for possible work to be completed.
Will a technician need to visit my home?
The majority of faults can be resolved on testing at the telephone exchange in your area. If a technician needs to visit your premises, you will be contacted to arrange an appropriate time of appointment.
What are the possible causes of a fault?
There are a number of reasons that faults occur. A few main reasons are as follows:
- Alterations to connections and wiring inside the home.
- Local or exchange faults (average repair time 24 hours)
- Fallen lines due to building work or from storms and high winds
Will I incur any costs if I have a fault on my line?
If you have tested your handset and the telephone lines inside your home and concluded that it is not such a fault you will incur no costs. However if it is a fault with your equipment or wiring then you will incur a cost where this needs to be replaced or repaired.
Liability
Pure Telecom shall not be accountable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damages whether direct or indirect, or any loss of business, revenue, use, contract, goodwill, anticipated or actual savings or profits, any other financial loss or loss of time, data or opportunity as a result of a fault on a customers line.

Scams
What is phishing?
Phishing is an attempt made by cybercriminals to obtain personal information online or by phone and is one of the most common forms of internet fraud. Phishing can come in the form of an email, a phone call or a text-based message.
What should I do if I receive a suspicious call?
Phishing phone calls are made by fraudulent callers who often tend to impersonate company personnel. Callers can use Voice over IP (VoIP) technology to mask the origin of the call, so it appears as a familiar number. You may receive a call from someone claiming to be a representative of an Irish telecoms operator calling to query an issue with your broadband, stating that in order to fix the issue they need access to your device. The caller may put pressure on you to provide personal or financial details in order to repair or upgrade the security of the device. Pure Telecom will never pressure you for credit card details in relation to fixing or upgrading the security of your equipment. If in any doubt, please avoid giving any sensitive information and contact Pure Telecom on 1800 844 023 to report the call.
