Here at Connexin we want our customers to have the best experience possible whenever you need to contact us. We understand that on some occasions you may need additional help and support when communicating with us, or when using our services.
When you contact us, we may not always know that you require additional help. So, when you are speaking to one of our customer care team, please let us know and we’ll make sure that this is recorded on your account so that we know for next time when you call.
