A very interesting response. I don't take this as being rude. No problem there.

 

I just cannot get my head around any company that makes it dam near impossible to contact someone in their accounts department.

 

I ran a business for 30 years where ALL phone calls were answered LOCALLY by a live English-speaking person.

 

I had customers whom I respected, their business was important. I feel companies like Vodafone, 2degrees, and many computer companies just think a robot or in many cases overseas answer services are OK.

 

Anyway, my response about FAIR GO was only aired after nearly three months of frustration.

 

All good now. Problem solved.

Glad you got the problem solved! 

 

I believe 2degrees' call centre is actually entirely NZ-based by live English-speaking people for what it's worth (unlike Vodafone and Spark who both definitely use some off-shore). I do find 2degrees' inability to respond to an email disappointing and frustrating, especially given you would think they'd want more people emailing than calling, given it's easier to manage volume that way.
