“It seems almost every hotline extension ends up
instructing me to visit the website. When I
requested to speak to the customer service officer,
I’m often left listening to music for more than 30-
45 minutes before I finally decide to hang up. Why
can’t the hotline provide some computerised
information for common queries?”
