Before you call us with your questions take a look at our FAQs as the answer may be here:
What do I do if my device has a fault?
Please take your device to either the store you purchased it from, or alternatively, your nearest Spark authorised store.
They will then do some troubleshooting and if the fault cannot be rectified, will book it in for repair and send through to Entelar Repair Limited for assessment.
How do I claim on my extended warranty?
Spark extended warranty is provided by IUG. If you purchased IUG extended warranty when you bought your device, then you must first contact IUG and lodge a claim. You will be provided with a Claim Number. Please then take your device to your nearest authorised Spark store and provide them with the IUG Claim Number. They will then send the faulty mobile device to us for assessment.
We will then assess the device and, if repairable, a quote will be provided to IUG for the cost of repair. If accepted by IUG, the device will be repaired and dispatched to store. Please note that we will charge IUG directly for any repairs they have approved.
If declined, a quotation for repair will be provided to the store for your approval. Repair costs will be payable by you in this instance.
Please note that IUG extended warranty will cover the same types of faults that a manufacturer would cover ie; manufacturing faults, part failures, etc. They will not cover; software issues, battery related issues/or battery replacements, moisture or physical damage.
What if I disagree with the assessment?
If you wish to dispute our assessment of your device, you can view the images taken by our technical team. If you are still not satisfied with the assessment, please discuss your concerns with the store and they can then raise a dispute with us if appropriate.
How long are quotations valid for?
Our quotations are valid for 30 days from the date the first quotation is provided.
Please note that we will hold devices at Entelar Repair Limited for a maximum of 10 days after first quotation is provided.
It is therefore imperative that a prompt response is received from you to avoid the return of your handset without repair being actioned and Assessment Fees being incurred.
How do I get my device repaired via my insurance company?
AON Insurance Claims
Spark mobile insurance is provided by AON Insurance. If you purchased mobile insurance when you bought your device please contact AON Insurance and lodge a claim. Then return your device to your nearest authorised Spark store and provide them with the AON Insurance Claim Number together with a clear fault description. Please note that mobile insurance will cover moisture and physical damage but not manufacturing faults ie; part failures, etc.
The store will then send your device to us for assessment and, if repairable, a quote will be provided to AON Insurance for the cost of repair (copy will be sent to the store). Once accepted by AON Insurance, the device will be repaired and dispatched to the store. You will be required to pay the AON Insurance Excess Fee to the store before you will be allowed to uplift the repaired device. If un-repairable, no quote will be provided to AON Insurance – instead the device will be dispatched back to the store unrepaired and our standard Assessment Fee will apply. You will then need to provide AON Insurance with our assessment details in order for them to resolve.
General Insurance Claims
For non-AON Insurance claims, please contact your Insurance Company for instructions on how to proceed. If instructed to send in for assessment, please return your device to your nearest authorised Spark store. We will then assess the device and, if repairable, a quote will be provided to the store for insurance purposes. This will need to be relayed by you to your Insurance Company for approval.
If un-repairable, no quote will be provided – instead the device will be dispatched back to the store unrepaired and our standard Assessment Fee will apply. You will then need to provide your Insurance Company with our assessment details in order for them to resolve.
Will I receive a quotation if my device is assessed out of warranty?
We will provide a quote if the device was sent to us as a warranty repair and after assessment we deem it not to be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty criteria.
Quotations will also be provided if one is requested within the “notes” section of the Service Ticket, ie; for insurance purposes, etc.
Quotations will not be provided if the device is sent to us as an out of warranty repair (unless one is requested). The assumption is that you will have been quoted by the store prior to the device being sent for to us for assessment.
