Windstream.net - outsourcing help desk

Apparently I had hit the two or three digit code that blocks incoming calls. When I called my daughter she told me that was a message that I was not accepting incoming calls. I called the help desk after hours and a person with a heavy Indian accent answered. I told him of the problem and asked how I could find out the number to negate the message. He told me he would send a repairman out sometime the following day. I told him I did not need a repairman, only the number to reinstate my phone. After his repeating over and over again that he could do nothing but send a repairman out, I blew it and really told him off. I called back using a different number and an American woman answered. After I explained the problem she suggested I try two numbers and if that did not work to call back (very polite). As it turns out, it did not work and I had to call back again. This time the person gave me the right codes to re-open the line. I had explained to the Indian that I needed the line in case of an emergency. As it turned out my daughter called at 6 AM and aid get over here right away. I have to go to the hospital and I need for you to take care of Sean (her son). If I had listened to the Indian I would have never received the emergency call. We need to stop outsourcing help desk. It appears that 90% of the time they are clueless and very rude. The calls outsourced to Manila are an improvement over India.

OMG! First of all it is NOT outsourced...it is in Florida. 2nd if you have a problem with people that are from another country you are racist. Repair for phone is open 24hrs X 7 days including holidays...I bet you can't say that for your job. Do you work around the clock? I bet not. They put in overtime & still have to listen to your screaming & do it politely. YOU are the one who entered *77 to block calls, so enter *87 to unblock them...what an idiot you are for blocking your own phone from your daughter's obvious PRIVATE line she is paying for. AND they don't send a repairman out to fix a FEATURE that YOU activated...it was done from your phone so undo it from your phone...STUPID!
