[quote=“Puppet”]I have had the worst experience with Taiwan Mobile. It all started when my old Blackberry Bold needed a new track bar. Back home, you can easily buy a new one for about $100 NT. Here, they are impossible to find. So I gave it back to them and asked them to fix it. Friday comes and I get a phone call saying to not pick it up until Monday. They couldn’t tell me why.
Monday comes and they called and said it would cost $5000 to fix. I asked what was wrong that it would cost $5000. They had no idea. I told them to call me back once they find out.
Tuesday, I get no phone call so I call them back. No manager on duty.
Wednesday, they call me back, but only with information that it would cost $5000 to repair. No other info.
Thursday, they finally tell me: there seems to be some moisture in the screen that MIGHT cause it to break later. I reply I just want the ball fixed. They say it is fixed and will ship it back to the store tomorrow.
A week later (not the next day), it’s available for me to pick up.
I may have mixed up certain days, but you get the gist of the story. I finally talked them into discounting the time I did not have my phone. BUT it NEVER showed up on my bill. They are ignorant of it when I call.
What’s more interesting: my data card broke for the internet. I took that in and they seemed to have lost it for a few days. Now, when I go into the store to ask about it, they seem to have no idea about it. I have given up.
The only reason I am still with them is they carry Blackberry products. Otherwise, their coverage seems mediocre and their service has been REALLY below poor. There is one guy who works late at night at their call center that is fantastic. He needs to be running the company. He is limited in what he can actually do, though. Too bad. He’s the only one with a decent head on his shoulders.[/quote]
I knew this one person in Taiwan who had a similar issue. She sent a computer in to be repaired, and they said they would have the parts within the day. Each day that went by, she would call to see what the status was. They kept pushing things forward until she finally called and asked for the manager. The manager conveniently was never there when she called.
Finally she had enough and told them to giver her back the computer so she could get someone more useful to repair it, using similar words. Interestingly enough, they called back the same day and said it was repaired. :loco:
