Just thought I'd let you know that the 0161 alternatives no longer work - 0161 386 2075.

They just play a message saying that you should re-dial the 0871 number.

But you can now request a call back from within the My Account page of the website.

Thanks. I've replaced 0161 386 2075 with 2090 as suggested by one of the unverified submissions.

I've also added a note to each entry which says "Request a call back from My Account section of website".

Helloooo

This is regarding Simply Be..
The main database lists JD Williams, Ambrose Wilson, Crafting Direct, Fifty Plus, Heather Valley, Home Essentials, Home Shopping Direct, Julipa, Oxendales, Premier Man, Shoe Tailor, Special Collection, and Thats My Style with these 2 numbers: 0871 231 2000 >>> 0161 386 2090

The un-verified database lists Simply Be >> 0871 231 2000 but no alternative number.

Wink

I can confirm that the 0161 386 2090 number does also work for Simply Be. My call was answered by a customer service person, they ask for your account number, and are able to deal with all of the above companies accounts.

I listed these JD Williams previously. Forgive me for not checking each catalogue's website now, but the 0871 numbers that were listed against respective titles are those which were published on their websites.

That shown on Simply Be's contact page is 0871 231 5000 and that is what is listed in the database with alternative 0161 386 2090. Have you found that Simply Be publishes the number 0871 231 2000 somewhere and if so where? I can add this to the existing entry if needs be.

It is perhaps worth noting that 0161 386 2090 remains in service; JD Williams having disabled numbers that we have published in the past. Has it had a change of heart and decided to accept that some customers can avoid the premium number? Huh

Are these additional smillies? There used to be a link from the reply page for them and it seems to have disappeared.

Julipia via JD Williams
Reply #63 - Sep 18^th, 2013 at 3:49am

Tuesday I tried the 0161 386 2090 that I picked up on the Forum to contact Julipia via JD Williams for a neighbour to cancel her Account but was answered by recording saying 'sales, queries, accounts redial on 0871 number.

Has anyone found a more recent Geo. Number for JDW

Apparently Julipia keep phoning her up asking if she wants to Order so she wants to Close her Account completely.

I cant email to close account because obviously a different name.

Thanks for any help.

JD Williams are in turn owned by N Brown Group, they can be contacted here so your neighbour may wish to ring them and complain, and if they refuse to connect her or give out an 01 number I would suggest she advises she "cannot" call an 0871 number.

Alternatively you could try e-mailing them on her behalf, but I guess you would at least need her account number. More info here

I hope this helps. Out of interest when did you try the alternative listed?

Kind Regards.

A more pertinent question than "has anyone found…" is "why haven't they posted…?" Huh

I have just spent over an hour going through the entries for JD Williams. One number which was listed unverified against one catalogue title is 0161 386 2187 goes through to a menu with options. 0161 386 2030/3 goes directly to the Enquiry Line.

These numbers were in there waiting to be found! It appears that site users wish to sit around and wait to be spoon-fed. Roll Eyes

Sorry not to have posted back sooner.

I did a search of the Forum which was were I got the number I had noted earlier this year. On finding the result as I posted previously, I searched for JD Williams and found the JDW HO number 0161238 2000 which was answered by a lady and on asking to be transfered to Julipia she gave me an 0870 6033603 which I used because it is in my BT Anytime and carried out the required Account Cancellation. I know it is not a Geo. Number as hoped but I was able to carryout the task intended.

Thanks Dave for highlighting the Geo Numbers which I will note, and my apologies, I probably didnt use the Search properly.

Based on previous experience, I think that it is quite possible that these alternatives will be disabled. If that happens then we will have to replace them with the word "unknown" until such a time as a new number is found.

This may also be the case of other alternatives for JD Williams.

Thanks. I have removed this number and replaced it with 0161 386 2091, which answers as House of Bath. Clearly JD Williams are spinning it out as long as possible until it is compelled to give up its premium numbers by the CCR on 13th June.
