| Re: Tech support call True True but customers really do prefer to speak to a human during an outage, for comfort I suppose! What do you do though when you have a cell phone number for 8 years and everyone has the number? Use a tape player??  | |

What do you do though when you have a cell phone number for 8 years and everyone has the number? Use a tape player?? I am also working off cell phone. My plan is to start moving over to VOIP number. This way for very low expense of about $20 per month. I can forward this number to any number in the future for free. If i move into off site office in the future the VM's are recorded onto data file that i can check from home. With VOIP i will have unlimited min and long dist with a very cheap 800 number if i want. | |

| We use an answering machine saying that we are working on the problem and will be up asap. I find that it is difficult to answer the phone not just because too many people are calling about the problem we already know, it takes too much time that we could use for fixing the issue. don't forget the stress that comes with the complaining call. I fell like at the end, everybody wants it to be fixed. So it is better putting all my energy on that. Just my thought

| Re: Tech support call Yes, and after you tell them you are currently working on the problem and you CAN'T stay on the phone they proceed to suck up 10 minutes of your time talking about their %$&@@### computer, family, a funeral, wedding, weather...... Needless to say when something is down now the answering machine IS ON!
