What is wrong with these service providers ??? there is a problem with my internet , so i dailed 111 on qtel phone ... i wanted to speak to an agent about my problem ... so what happened that i was that i was holding the phone and the continuously hearing qtel ads about different crap ..for like mins but didnt get connected to an agent ... it kept saying ' please hold , our agent will speak to u ..... ' this happened the third time ...

WHo wanna hear their useless promotions ??? they even say a button for promotion ... i didnt press that , i pressed 'speak to an agent which is 3 '

I submitted a claim on 06-02-13 regarding my landline service as it is not working,

Since that date & I'm calling 111 on regular basis & no any action from the maintenance team,

The customer service (111) are sending them reminders & urgent requests ... No any action or even no one contacted me yet,

I thought to send my complain on their facebook page,

I got a direct reply as follow: "Hi, we are sorry for any delay, kindly give us some time to check it out with the related department and we'll get back to you once we hear from them."

That was on Thursday, let's see if any serious action today!!!

Has nothing to do with monopoly. You can have a monopoly but still hire decent professionals.

On many occasions, I waited more than 30 minutes and the agent simply hung up. I could hear him laughing with his friends.

What a great Image that gives to Qatar. "The capital of education" Everything inside this country is a big joke and everyone is here just to make quick money and get the *** out. No one cares and no one has long term plans in any company they work at.

wherever you see a lot of Indian employees, you notice that most of the company is Indian.. the language spoken between employees infront of the customer is actually Indian. With all getting their friends and hiring their family where they work, how do you expect professionalism? What a joke

What does "la ooredoo" mean?

call from a phone with a speaker facility. That way, you can go along with your daily chores while you are at it. It takes an average of 10 min for getting connected to a human on the Qtel customer service.

Another option is report the incident on their facebook page. Atlast somebody will reply immediately, "Your problem is noted and forwarded to the concerned department."

"ooredoo"... it should have been "la ooredoo" :)

@shafeek,

now they might send you bill for these three months also ...ROFL ....

bill starts from the date you applied, whether you got the connection or not :P

Tip: Every time you call Qtel, kneel and pray that their agents are not having coffee, lunch, prayer, facebooking, busy on their phone with boyfriend/girlfriend, chit chatting with colleagues & list goes on and on...

I fully agree,and understand the frustration.

My Mosaic connection got fiberoptic a month ago, and now my tv is filled with spam of all channels which work for one minutes, and then say " you have not subscribed to this channel"

We have also lost some good channels which were a part of our earlier package. So frustrating...

If I have not subscribed then why the hell do they spam me ? Cant I have just what I paid for ?

Is it not unethical business practice ?
