iPod help: Is it just me or do companies purposley make people on their help lines have a strong hindu/indian accent? - Help.com

Well you are sort of right. the companies you are phoning have out-sourced their helplines to India - so you are actually speaking to an Indian person in a call centre in India - hence the strong Indian accent. Those people get paid pennies and are taught to read from a script - that’s why you cant get an unusual problem resolved - they dont have a script for it. In the UK a lot of people have stopped using companies with Indian call centres because, the language barrier is appalling, nothing gets done and these people are being exploited. We actively choose companies that promise call centres in our own country - Mas

who’s a pig

everyone time i have to call a company for something, i always end up speaking to someone from india. it’s annoying because i can never understand them!

I’m in the U.S. and I know that many customer service lines for large companies have offices based in eastern countries, so I guess the employees there do speak with accents because English is not their native language. I used to work for a major telecommunications company and I know that they have agents in India.

What’s that for?

to mas1s-don’t waste your time talking to that kid. he is a jerk and he’s been messing with everyone today! he is editing everyone’s posts so that they say disgusting thiongs. he keeps doing it to me. he’s really an immature jerk

All of our major utility companies and banks in the UK moved their call centres to India some years back - one by one they are moving them back to the UK - they were losing customers in droves. - Thanks jezzy9 - noted and ignored

Call their corporate headquarters. Only one voice, but I’m sure many have complained.

how do i find the number? i will call. i’ve seen him messing with a lot of people today.

Directory assistance…Yellow Pages.

u think? i can’t find a number in all the info about this site, so i doubt directory assistance would have it

Dont worry the mods will ban his IP address and that will be the end of him - patience I’m afraid

well i logged on today and all my writings have been changed back to what they normally said and all of his responses have been deleted. yay! he was only here to mess with people. he made me not want to come to this site at all.

hahahahhahaha that’s funny (the original post)
I’m Indian and even I laugh at it! heeeee :o)
