Why Telecom Inc. has the worst in history.

  1. They ask verification questions guaranteed to fail.
  2. Their agents are heartless and rude.
  3. They are above the Law of the land.
  4. They don't care about their customers.

Here are the verification questions they asked me:
> 1. Can you provide the exact date when your SIM was activated? Ex. March 2023.
>
> 2. What’s the last promo that you purchased before your phone was lost? When did you register it?
>
> 3. What was your remaining load balance before your phone was lost?

All three verification questions are guaranteed to fail.

#1: Can you honestly remember the exact date when your SIM was activated, especially if it has been with you for at least a decade?

#2: Can you honestly remember the last promo you purchased when you did not purchase any promo for the last 5 years?

For the third question, I provided the CORRECT answer, and I even submitted a screenshot taken on April 12th, very recent.

And yet, Globe Telecom Inc.'s agent replied with the following:

> We have to follow the process before we proceed with the deactivation.

> Unfortunately the details you have provided, do not match our record.

> Yes, the details you have provided do not match our records.

> We can only block the number if you were able to provide the correct details we need.

After this, their agent copy-pasted their spiel in a rush to close the chat conversation.

I've worked in the customer service field for 20 years, and I can tell you this is the worst agent and the worst process I've seen and experienced.

  1. Verification questions guaranteed to fail.
  2. Not exploring other avenues of verifications, that actually are logical to ask.
  3. Totally heartless and rude.
  4. A company process. In other words, this is how they were trained.
  5. End the chat conversation as fast as you can.

To the agent, “I deeply apologise for disturbing your sleep and giving you some work to do.”

To Globe Telecom Inc., “Shame on you for having such a process, and yet you continue to claim awards for having the best service.”

Are companies competing to see which can offer the WORST customer service? Seriously, every single one of them is a complete disaster. Why do we tolerate this? Why aren’t we demanding that our government regulate this industry and force REAL competition for our money?

#2: We're multilingual.

Yesterday, for my entire life (20+ years), I received my first ever language inquiry.

Since we're required to respond using the same language, it was a torture for me.

I know August is the Filipino month (), but let's be honest, typing in Filipino is a PITA in certain situations, like providing that is related to and .

Though, I had fun, I mixed it with some words and tried to avoid modern ones.

(For context, the Filipino language is more relaxed and have modern words. Tagalog is stricter and have old words we rarely hear today.)

It was a good experience. But one I do not want to experience again. It was too time consuming.

    As someone who has worked in customer service I must say that this list for an alternative phonetic alphabet is vile and utterly evil. I love it.
