Equipment problems

  • My mobile phone or tablet doesn't work

    If your device doesn't work, you can send it in for repair.
    Before sending your equipment in for repair, carry out the following checks:
    • Turn the equipment off and on 
    • Try another charger of the same type (compatible) in your device - if it works, the problem is with the charger and not the device
    • Make sure the SIM card SIM inserted correctly
    • Check the sound volume - make sure you haven't activated a mute profile and that the volume isn't low
    • Check the Settings to see if any call forwarding options are active
    • Confirm the software update or reset.

    If the problem persists, send the device in for repair:
    • Ask a courier to collect the equipment
    • Send by post
    • Visit aMEO Storethat offers technical support
