Customer Service

[UPDATE: The customer service "magic words" are "ask for the ‘missed called notification’ to be excluded from your package."]

I don’t mean to link bait or anything with the title, because the answer is just “call customer service“, but what an annoying feature! Here is what happens when I miss a call:

  • The phone rings, and I let it go because I’m busy with something else.
  • They leave a voicemail. I see that.
  • Then I get an SMS notification about the voicemail. Thank I know.
  • Then I get an SMS notification about the missed call. Yeah I get it!
  • Then I have all the above information copied in my logs, just in case I somehow got amnesia and forgot.

    • I’ve recently had the features turned off but I couldn’t help explaining to customer service that this sort of notification process is borderline harassment.
