    Trouble is....it wouldn't work with Mumbai Telecom ..... not on their script!!

  • Callers working in telemarketing agencies are also human beings, who are working on nominal salaries to make their living. If you do not like the call, say that politely and cut the call. This is so cruel!.so whenever they calls you, then show them an interest.

    As extremely funny that was, I do have some sympathy for the poor cold caller, he was after all only doing his job. :D
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
  • Lee Mack has a way to deal with them (in this case gas and electric ones)!

    Q: How would you feel if you were paying less for your gas?

    Mack: TBH, I'd feel just the same as I do now...but I would be paying less for my gas.
