Said immigrant has had to ring them many a time for various things, when clients say... errr... I don't know what you're talking about... can't you just ring them?

Usually paid by the hour, so not a big problem

You know about 111 thoough eh?

Although I think Telecom made 911 work as well because so many people dialed it by mistake.

From fire prevention adverts and like.

No serious man in an anorak or cutesy cartoon has said 'dial 123 if your other phone is ferked, hey'.

So why don't they remember things like check the batteries in the fucking smoke alarm..

I suppose that is a bit harder to remember though.

Actually if you're phone is broken it's 120 for faults 123 is the customer service number.

While we're here you have 018 for directories as well (although Telecom sold that to Yellow).

No idea why the number isn't on the bill anywhere. That's the first place many people will look (other than the White Pages).

Because they don't want you to ring them. The harder they make it for people to querry a bill the less people will bother. Quite a money spinner if that mobile broadband billing fuck up is happening.

Caution: Serious ranting.

Fucking wankstains.

Yesterday, I had 5 guys hired from Allied Workforce helping me out to try and get a job done, one of them stole my cellphone.

Called up Vodafone last night, explained the situation and asked to have my number blocked for outgoing calls. "Sorry our system is down, we can't do that at the moment. It should be running in half an hour." I asked if they could ring me once the job was done on my landline. "I'm sorry, if the system is down, I can't leave a note for anyone". I inquired as to whether she could still use a pen and paper. Apparently Vodafone either doesn't trust their employees with sharp implements, or the ones that I spoke to have shown a dangerous tendancey to fall asleep on their pencils.

Rang back an hour later, explained the last debacle, asked if the job had been done. "No." After explaining the same situation 3 times, and her profound lack of understanding of the English language, I asked to speak to her Supervisor. Rather than transfer my call, she hung up on me.

Call back. By this time, i'm starting to get very fucked off by the sutomated hag that demands that I enter my cell number, and PIN "to make the process easier", and yet everytime someone answers, I have to explain my name, number, PIN, address and the date I lost my virginity before I can even start my conversation. What's the fucking point of giving it to the sutomated system then?

Spoke to the Supervisor this time. Very friendly, very helpful. Apologised for the hassles, synpathised that i'd aready spent an hour and a half on the phone. Put a block on the number straight away. Apparently not that hard.

Went to bed still fuming.

Called them back the next day to find out if any calls had been made between the time it was stolen, and the time the number was blocked. "We have no record of that number being reported stolen." Fuck's sake.

Had the number blocked (again) and they told me that 3 calls had been made the night before (all after the supposed first block had been put in place) and that they would all be charged to my contract as "I hadn't contacted them to inform them".

Four fucking hours I had wasted by this point, and at least 10 phone calls with all the "transferring" (cutting off. Is this a Vodafone policy? Cut someone off once they start asking difficult questions?)

Unfortunately I have to contact them again tomorrow to get some more information before going to the cops.

And to think that I left Telecom for bad customer service.

Wow, that is terrible service. Goes to show, a duopoly is no better than a monopoly. This is why I laugh when people want to privatise government services - as government occupies a natural monopoly all you get is private corporations offering government level service (at best) for higher prices.

I mean, look at AA, they have queues like Work and Income used to when it was Income Support.

Could be the Paul that posted earlier. Did anyone get a screenshot?

Will this help?


The phrase "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT" obviously hasn't reached the intelligensia of vodafart yet.

[Dave Lobster]

The customer isn't always right though. The customer is quite often a retarded monkey that can't string a sentence together without the words like, yunno or kinda in it.

The customer is quite often a barefaced liar after something for nothing.
