1901 waiting time

    So either my mobile or your network decided that a 46 minute wait was long enough and ended the call which would be pretty funny if I hadn't wasted 46 minutes. I'm now 28 minutes and counting again... I tried chat but they said to call. I pray for the poor bast*rd that I eventually talk to, the good news for him is it looks like it'll be Monday before the call takes place. I've just moved back to eir from sky and by God I'm thinking I'll just do without at this stage. Smoke signals would be quicker and better for my sanity. The worst part is I'm calling because Eir messed up my order

    Any chance of getting rid of the annoying wait music? Kasabian can stay but the others gotta go.

    It must be nice for the guys to get to go home at 14:30 on a Friday. If you're not going to take calls why advertise that you do?

    While I appreciate your frustration at the long hold time ridonkulous, we can do without the minute by minute update on the thread. Stop bumping it unnecessarily.

    I bet I can beat your record if I'm more strategic about when I place the call.

    OK, so they answered, but has your issue been resolved satisfactorily?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 205 ✭✭contrary_devil

    Niamh,

    It's a frequent occurrence and I have had exactly the same experience myself on multiple occasions. There is no way of contacting this company! I think it’s quite a good illustration of what’s going on here.

    I could post timings from my phone bills showing 40+ mins on the line to 1901.

    It’s an absolute joke!

    See this thread on how to get to talk to somebody:

    https://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057924065

    1. Go the Comreg site and click on "Queries & Complaints". https://www.comreg.ie/queries-complaints.
    2. Click on got a question. There's an option there to start a WebChat, but this wasn't working on Friday, so I just filled in the on-line form and laid out the facts, as I saw them.
    3. When that was done, I then went to the eir Complaints page - https://www.eir.ie/complaints, clicked on "Log a Complaint" tab and clicked on the option to send an email.

    Checked my call logs yesterday, 43 minutes one day last week. Thankfully the problem was resolved with the first person I spoke to, but there was another 20 odd minute wait, without actually speaking to anyone.

    Good service, unless you actually have to speak to anyone. Hopefully the new customer service centre opening in Sligo, will resolce some of these issue.
