[Electronics-Talk] accessible verizon flip phone

Tue Mar 29 07:38:43 UTC 2016

If, when you call back you continue to get transferred around, ask to have
your call escalated. In lay persons terms, that means you want to speak to a
supervisor. 

FYI:  I, unfortunately, was let go after 3 years because of health reasons.
I was out more than I was there. I worked @ the call center in Irvine. About
a year & a half ago, they closed that center. If you anything about Southern
California, Irvine is 1 of the most expensive areas to live & to own a
business. Also, tghere were still 17 blind customer service reps there when
the call center closed. They gave everyone the opportunity to relocate to
another call center, but only a couple of the blind employees moved.

Rob, you are so very right about verizon's customer service, and I'm glad
you were a part of it which must be rewarding to know how much you could
help customers. I worked at home depot as one of the operators which is
different from the customer service that you did, but it means so much when
you can help people out.  I had such a great experience when I lived in
philadelphia with my landline verizon service, and a few times more 
presently with having the prepaid service with   the gusto phone. When this 
change came about  with the voice mail I did call verizon customer service,
I'll have to try again. As I remember I think I kept getting the wrong
department and they switched me from department to department about 3 times.

In calling I thought I would try that special customer service number,
instead I was just in the regular customer service, which is fine if I could
get some sort of answer or explaination. I'll give it another try, since I
have a few more questions than I did the last time I called which was back
in november. Thank you for the suggestion.

Arlene
