Customer service is about making things right, not just the immediate problem, but the root cause. And it is totally about listening to the customer. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

If you can configure the other instruments(imported cordless ones?) they it would work fine.<BR/>Still here people are not used to it. I had recently set it out & certianly it was too confusing for folks, they hardly say 'hello hello' and a beep sound.<BR/>Once I had even heard a 10 minutes phone call recorded in the answering machine! (after the call goes to answering machine & if people still continues to pick up the call)...<BR/>I remember few days years back when BSNL guys gave an option to make local calls prefixing 95 for all cities within 200 mts radius, but reduced the pulse rate from 3 minutes to 1 minutes as compared to STD, people were still thinking this as cheaper or else they used to wait till 10:30pm to speak in 1/3rd rate!<BR/>Earlier telephone was a necessity, later became luxury & it now its just another toy! I still remember those days when my dad used to book trunk calls! good old days...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-64914473275708505182007-05-09T16:49:00.000+05:302007-05-09T16:49:00.000+05:30Hi,One of the main reason for Answering Machines n...Hi,<BR/><BR/>One of the main reason for Answering Machines not having caught the fancy is that most families in India are still sort of Joint family system and there is only 1 Landline to call on. Also, we arent maybe used to leave a message to a machine which we may or maynot want everyone to hear about.<BR/><BR/>Missed Call maybe a unique concept in India, but it isnt just to save on the Money. Afterall, call charges nowadays have dropped so much that it doesnt pinch the pocket. Insead, many persons give a miss call to ask the other guy to call back when he is free. Afterall, the calling party cant have a idea about what the other people is doing at that point of time and the call in itself shoudn't become a Nuisance. Recently, I came across a article where the CII chairman (forgot his name) said that whenever he wanted to speak to Sunil Mittal (Head of Airtel), he leaves a miss call :).Prashanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430027372618854211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37296617.post-79953547042874387072007-04-25T01:16:00.000+05:302007-04-25T01:16:00.000+05:30You are right Chitra.

It reminds me of lot of negative things - hassles I went through whenever I called customer support department of a bank, cellphone company, cable company, Internet provider, Washing machine repair, Geyser repair etc...I am not going to write it down here because this blog looks more like 'Postives-Centric'. Let it be like that...may be it's good that way.<BR/><BR/>During 2001-02, many companies were in cost-cutting mode and I remember even in our company they had restricted free-phone (outgoing calls). Only certain level and above had the outgoing call facility because of the 'Missed Call Menace'. I think by now, things are back to Normal (I mean, people are back enjoying the 'Missed Calls').Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
