Provide the service instead of telling me about it
When it comes to phone carriers in Israel, there is only one company that provides in-country land line phone connection. But cellular phones, and international calls, are open for some competition.
My boss at work signed with one of the International carriers, called Barak.
And for some reason they decided to be nice. So when you call out,
instead if just connecting the line and keeping it quiet, they play
this chirpy little tune, and have an announcer thanking you for calling
with them.
If you make the rare call once in a while, I suppose it could be alright. But when you make lots of international phone calls, as we do
from the office, this is maddening. I’m getting sick of hearing their
tune, and want to yell back at the recorded announcer to stuff it when
I’m hearing the thank you…
They provide the service of international phone calls. So if I make
a phone, I should get a connection. Why the incessant
self-advertisement? It doesn’t help! it’s annoying! And if it was up to
me I’d really switch to another carrier just so I won’t have to listen
to this message ever again.
