Hi,

Unfortunately, I am currently abroad and do not wish to make lengthy phone calls with KPN due to cost.
Therefore, I am trying to reach out from this forum.

I have a problem with my welcome gift. I had several back-and-forth calls with the customer service but unfortunately, it has not been solved yet. I would like to explain my situation in short:

I have initially applied for KPN internet only subscription on March 9th and I selected a Nintendo Switch 2 as welcome gift. Later we found out that I still have to wait for my Ziggo subscription until July 23th and then I can switch to KPN. During this time, fiber optic installation was ongoing in my street and therefore, I got a normal(copper) connection package. There was some complications during this time and eventually, customer service suggested me to cancel my previous subscription and apply for a new one with fiber optic connection. I also asked for confirmation about my welcome gift and after lengthy internal discussions, I got a verification that it is my right to keep the same welcome gift. When I call the regular number for customer service, I have to explain this situation and eventually, they also see it in their systems that I have the right for this gift but when I call the company who sends out the gifts, they tell me that there is no gift as it was only on the initial package. I got multiple confirmations from the KPN customer team when I call them from (number: 0800 0402) but when I called the company for the gifts(number: 088 623 7006), they cannot see the welcome gift under my name.

I do not know how internal communcations are done within KPN but I beleive there is some miscommunication.

If you can guide me on solving this issue, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

What I read is that you probably cancelled your subscription and put in a new subscription maybe with different discount. You stating that the employee told you,  you have the right for the welcome present does not mean that it is in te order. So My advice check the following.

 

  1. Check the latest subscription conformation and check it mentioned the welcome present. If it has another discount and no welcome present that that's the problem. If it does state a welcome present note your customer number and write it down for the next check.
  2. Check if you received a mail that the subscription order is delivered and active. If so check if the customer number is the same as you wrote down. If different recheck your mail because in step 1 you wrote down a customer number of the wrong subscription that was probably cancelled.
  3. If The welcome presente was there and the customer number is the same and the order is delivered. Ad 2 working weeks to the order. The welcome presente wil be send to you 2 weeks after the order is finished. 
  4. If all above is correct and you stil did not recieve the welcome present call the helpdesk, or start a chat.
