Call reports are useless, the emails they take from the customer are wrong and cannot be used to contact customers. Calls can go for up to 20min when they were on average 3 to 5min calls and reports to 20-min call are of one or two words. Some calls don’t even have report included. Some calls are double counted. It is better to hire your own agent that works full time rather than using this call center. Invoices with answernet increase every month and they have the worst customer service when you try to understand where the extra minutes come from.
