OK....rant again:
I just had a Gent on my phone asking for me to set him up with his Chicago number to ring through to his home....IN MUBAI INDIA!
Explained I could not do that....
His response "But over there, my IT dept. does it all the time!" I SO wanted to bring up :
1) India telecommunications infrastructure makes the "Good ole days" of Chicago Politics look straight laced
2) To forward a number from US to India would take more digits and time than the PBX would even allow (it would have to dial aprox. 27 numbers to reach the guys house)
3) the COST per phone call would make installing a T3 and 81c in my 2 bedroom house look down right economical....
There's just no arguing with some people...He's now on my boss' phone trying to get the same stuff..I can hear my boss as I type this saying stuff like "Can't be done" "Won't do it", "Sorry, don't care what they do there, this is here"
