A letter to Etisalat
Hi
I had registered for E-life at the beginning of the year for the 1 year promotional package of 1 Mbps connection which is charged at AED 189. I was persistently troubled by one of your Call Centre agents to subscribe for E-Life stating that it is compulsory for every one to take it. Upon her constant annoying calls to take up the package I subscribed to it. Upon application when I asked her if I will be able to switch back to my Al Shamil connection I was told that I will only be required to pay AED 100 of downgrading fee & I will be able to switch back to my Al Shamil. Now that I do not want the package I'm being told that I cannot downgrade to the Al Shamil service for no good reason & also if I downgrade I will have to pay the discount difference of AED 100 for every month & the next cheapest package is an E-life connection for AED 189 which is as good as an expired carton of milk.
Furthermore, one of my close relatives had an opportunity to work for your Call Centre (the department which deceived me into getting the E-life package); & during his induction he was told & I quote
"When you are selling the package to the people just tell them about the downgrade fee of AED 100 & DO NOT tell them about the discount difference that you will have to pay upon discontinuing the package"
Now if that is the manner in which you wish to go about your bussiness then it just a shame how the-so called biggest telecom provider in the UAE lacks any sort of integrity & decency.
Having lived for 18 years in this country I thought it had improved a lot, but it is such acts of such a reputable business as yours that truly reflects what it has become.
I hope that you can atleast practice some professionalism when conducting bussiness & teach your employees as well some of it.
With true disappointment
XYZ
