"Please hold and your call will be answered by the first available customer service officer, please note all calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes!"

Here goes a LARGE chunk of my day off!

[chadjaja]

Isn't anyone awake in India???????????????

 

[kidd05]

1.50 - Indian
1.90 - Filipino
2.30 - American
5.00 - Other



Hey you people are slack! Don't generalize!!!

 

[chadjaja]

Only to be on hold for NOTHING! Good work citibank!

 

[Matt26]

Chad, the trick is when you ring....start randomly pressing numbers....and you usually are greeted with... your call is being tranferred to an operator...

Usually works for me.

The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special. dialing wand, please mash the key pad with your palm, now.

Where as I just called sporting bet with a problem and to put money in and 15 secons on hold! YAY!

 

[kidd05]

Nice.

I remember one time, I was calling Integral, and I was on hold for around 20 minutes.. then I had to do a #2.

 

[chadjaja]

"For #2's just press 2 and your call will be placed on hold. Please flush and spray for the consideration of others"

The difference is one wants your money (ie. quick answer) one already has your money (slow to pick up!!)

I was on hold for 3/4's of an hr the other day with Austar to get my package upgraded to get Fox Sports 3, i was lucky the telly is close and i watched a full episode of Friends the a full episode of South Park.

With Telstra you wait 5 minutes to speak to an operator (unless you know what you are doing....) then you play telstra ping pong.....

when dialling sales and Billing on 132200 just say "consultant" then whatever its about when prompted and then yes or no and just yell consultant a lot until the damn thing puts you through....

if you are with another service provider and you have no dialtone.... be sure to have isolated your equipment, then call your service provider, not Telstra... as they are not permitted to take the fault report from someone elses end user..... then when your SP goes ot pass you back to Telstra say "No, you dumbass, YOU have to phone them and report it on my behalf. TY very bloody much."

~ signed I cannot own up to working for them but ya'll probably know I do
