I heard of this last summer and began using the idea and even found that one call (which was forwarded to the east coast of Canada) was transferred to my own area for completion. But the wait time increases.

This is about localization, as well as threats to personal secure information, etc.

    It just takes a minute to read this.  It certainly surprised me.

    I'm going to give it a try, why not, it could make a difference.

    Call Centres - The law in Canada pass this on so everyone will
    know the rules

    l want everyone to know about this law  Call Centres - The law in
    Canada
    Good to know, especially since rumour has that Canada Post
    Customer service is Headed to India before the New Year
    A lot of us do not realize this option is open to us.
    Any time you call an 800 number (for a credit card, banking,
    charter communications, health and other insurance,
    computer help desk, etc. ) and you find that you're talking to a
    foreign customer service representative (with an accent, difficult
    to understand/perhaps in India, Philippines, etc), Please consider
    doing the following:

    After you connect and you realize that the Customer Service
    Representative is not working in Canada (you can always ask,  if
    you are not sure about the accent), please, very politely this
    is not about trashing other cultures

    Say, "I'd like to speak to a Customer Service Representative in
    Canada."

    The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, But, again,
    politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a Customer
    Service Representative in Canada .."

    YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A REP IN CANADA .

    That's the rule and the LAW. It takes less than one minute to have
    your call re-directed to Canada .

    Tonight when I got redirected to a Canadian Rep, I asked again to
    make sure - and yes, she was from Calgary ..

    Imagine what would happen if every Canadian Citizen insisted on
    talking to only Canadian phone reps, from this day on.

    Imagine how that would ultimately impact the number of Canadian
    jobs that would need to be created ASAP.

    Let's slow down and possibly reverse some of the unemployment
    problems.

    If I tell 10 people to consider this and you tell 10 people to
    consider doing this - see what I mean...it becomes an exercise in
    viral marketing 101.

    Remember - the goal here is to restore jobs back here at home -
    not to be abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep.

    You will get correct answers, good advice, and solutions to your
    problem - in real English.

    If you agree, Pass it on.
