My Phone Company
When I first went with Primus Canada as an alternative to Ma Bell, it was mostly because of the long distance plan. Primus’ long distance plan is the best one there is! Unfortunately, they somehow forgot to hook up my call answer service when I switched lines/services.
I called and I called and yet no one at the company could seem to perform the simple task of turning on my voicemail feature. You know how long it took them to get it running? Six months. I know that may seem like a long time to you, but they’re a very big company and they’re probably very busy with other phone related business.
Anyway, eventually, they got it running, god bless them. The only problem now is that, in the process of getting my voicemail working, my voicemail notification is non-existent in the phone menu. (You know, the stuttering tone that alerts you that someone called.) It just doesn’t work. For that particular feature I have been waiting a full year. (This August). I am not kidding! I had to call them at least ten times to remind them to get it operational. Every time I called, a nice Middle-Eastern chap assured me it was working before I hung up.
Oh well, I can just remember to check for messages, myself. If I need to be reminded to check my extremely urgent messages, well, they wouldn’t be very urgent to me, now would they?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, but gee, I hope they really get around to hooking it up one day. That reminds me. I should really get around to paying their bill.
