These marketing calls are a royal pain...Its horrible even here, they call us about credit cards, satellite tv, phone companies..you name it. Its extremely irritating...but you have written it well.... <BR/>Good job! <BR/>take care <BR/>Ips<BR/><BR/>rohitthebest said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 10:56 AM <BR/><BR/>wow. <BR/>Fundoo Boss. <BR/>Its same with every telecom service provider. <BR/>I too get many of those calls from Reliace too. <BR/>And guess what!! I always turn the automatic calls to speaker fone and let them brag and play music till they can, than eventually it gets disconnected. <BR/>When I was in hyd i used to get manual calls in telugu and now i get em in marathi in mumbai. <BR/>Best way is to tell them to hold for a second and than put them on speaker and dont say nothing at all for as long as they are online and than listen to what and how they respond - its hilarious at times, finally after 2 -3 times they give up and dont call u anymore. <BR/>I love handling them that ways - the idea is given to me by my friend in here on MS - Anuj Bhatnagar. <BR/>Try it sometime <BR/>You will love it apart from ur usual music overdose. <BR/><BR/>Kool Review <BR/>Keep Writing <BR/>Rohit <BR/> paulose said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 11:12 AM <BR/><BR/>shri, lovely writeup, we all can relate to this as somehow or the other we have these ladies in our lives too ;-) i personally like to make them giveup by resorting to rohit method above or some other. on the serious side, there are reasons why such calls are either in female voice or from girls !!! one airtel lady called me with this caller tunes, it went like this, after the initial intro <BR/><BR/>lady: sir would u like to have caller tunes? <BR/>me: whats that ? <BR/>lady: sir when someone calls u, instead of tring tring they hear a song <BR/>me: then what happens? <BR/>lady: until u pick the call, they get to hear ur selected song <BR/>me: so i shudnt pick calls, so they can hear the song? <BR/>lady: no sir, once u pick the song stops <BR/>me: so what do i get ? <BR/>lady: your callers will get to hear ur caller tune <BR/>me: i understand that , but what do I get? <BR/>lady: sir, u wont get anything, but when u call others u might have heard their songs <BR/>me: yes, i have. but i call them to talk to them, and not to hear half a song ... <BR/><BR/>after a while she realised i was just pulling her leg, and said ’’sir looks like you are not intrested, thanks for ur time’’ !!! <BR/><BR/>recorded females calling is nothing, i recall getting calls from ’main Atal bihari vajpayee’ during election times !!! ;-) <BR/><BR/>keep writing <BR/>santhosh <BR/> nitesh1104 said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 11:18 AM <BR/><BR/>Loved reading this... good write up although I have not much experienced it... <BR/><BR/>Cheers, <BR/>Ambuj :-) <BR/> Paulsb02 said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 11:42 AM <BR/><BR/>Hai Shri, <BR/><BR/>Excellent write up which hook the readers to the review. <BR/><BR/>Keep rocking in MS. <BR/><BR/>Paul <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/> <BR/> Editenidhi said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 11:56 AM <BR/><BR/>Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts experience and comments. <BR/><BR/>Was trying to present the same old boring stuff in a creative way... <BR/> ajayan said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 12:36 PM <BR/><BR/>enidhi <BR/>hilarious writing on irritating experiences. I too get such calls from morning to night. From the comments section I have got real good tips to handle these calls. <BR/>Thank you <BR/>Jeeva <BR/> hakoonamatata said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 12:38 PM <BR/><BR/>You are one of the best writers on MS and every review of yours makes me realise this fact once more. <BR/><BR/>I liked the descriptions of the ladies in your mobile life. But let me shatter your dream - they don’t talk to just you. There are more than Hutch/ Airtel and umpteen Credit Crad companies that have such ladies (real or IVR) as their mouth pieces pumping all that stuff into our ears too. <BR/><BR/>I remember, the first ever call on my cell phone in 2000 was of an irritated lady just waiting to scold her apparantly henpecked husband. She wrongly dialed my number and downloaded all the ranting into my ears before I could tell her that I am not her unfortunale husband ( She heard this after 6-7 attempts from my end.). I forgive all callers when I think of her (her husband actually!). <BR/> Editenidhi said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 01:31 PM <BR/><BR/>jeeva: Thanks and welcome. <BR/><BR/>Dear Ateesh, ...those unloyal ladies...hmm... :) <BR/> Editenidhi said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 01:33 PM <BR/><BR/>@ All: A quick update to the review: <BR/><BR/>I also get calls from credit card ladies. They are usually assisted by their “boyfriends” who will be waiting just outside my office to help me. All I need to do is walk outside the office with a copy of my ID card, payslip etc and hand them over to their executive. 99% of such calls I disconnect without saying anything. If I’m free and in a good mood, I manage to say “No thanks” to rest of the fortunate 1% callers. (These tele-callers are paid to call hundreds of people every day and they have to hear all harsh scolding from people whom they call (never bothering if people are in a middle of a meeting or sleeping or driving) and irritate. But venting your anger on these callers won’t serve any purpose, because they have no authority to remove your number from the list). <BR/><BR/>Next time onwards, I’ve decided to explain them the concept of blogging and tell them how they can sell more credit cards by blogging, than making unsolicited calls. <BR/>-Nidhi <BR/><BR/>Alok_Sr said:<BR/>Jul 24, 2007 01:35 PM <BR/><BR/>Shri.. lovely write up. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm.. and I thought I am the only casanova out here getting calls from all these ladies.
