LOL has anyone had to call MS?

[Rubycon]

The automated sysem is just silly with that little bell after each group. I felt like I was on a game show in the 70's. :laugh:

 

[mchammer]

I did cause no internet access when I did it, bell, don't remember, number really long though. Yep. .

 

[keeleysam]

VLK from work FTW.

 

[Megatomic]

Yep, at least half a dozen times now. Probably more. I switch hardware ALOT, they must think I'm some kind of scammer. But they ought to know that my licenses are legit, they gave them to me as a gift for beta testing the OS.

 

[effowe]

Yeah I had to call there, only thing I remember is I talked to someone in India.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Yes, i had to talk to an indian woman.

 

[dartworth]

[Pepsi90919]

Doesn't it make you feel bad that you cannot converse with anyone that is not a native English speaker? I mean, imagine, if God forbid, you ever had to travel abroad to a country where English is a second language!!! That must be like Hell for you :Q Something must be done to prevent people like you from suffering thus :| I vote that they ban foreign countries. BAN! BAN! BAN!








Oh, BTW, STFU - can you understand that? :sneer;

I stand corrected, there are centers in the UK and India, but there IS one in reno.

We do most of our work in Redmond. Over the years we've consolidated a lot of our infrastructure and our activities around the world. We also have a team in India, so those are the two hubs. We have an operations center in Dublin, in Singapore and Reno [Nevada], so those centers have some small IT staff, not very large.

Describe your hiring process.

[LinuxIdiot]

Yes,

After all the automated system was sent to a live person with an Indian accent, while she is doing her thing I hear her turn around and start talking to someone in another language, like she had put her hand over the phone. After much giggling and me sitting there staring at a windows screen she finally comes back on the line to give me the code.

 

[Gibson486]

I have and i was suprised at how fast i got a person on the phone. Took me 10 minutes.

 

[RandomFool]

I've done it a couple times and it never works. I always end up talking to some Indian person. At least it's easy to reacitvate.

Exactly. Next time I will record over the speakerphone. The keys don't echo DTMF so no security concerns.

hahah.... they all have british accents because they're indians talking through voice modifiers to be more 'personable'

No thanks. XP SP1 won't even install with that one.

I'm waiting for MS to start putting "WGA messages" in programs and services on pirated XP copies. I guess there's a lot of VLK abuse going on these days.

 

[Sentinel]

I FING hate calling MS for revalidation.
