Now that I dropped my Vonage (crazy taxes and fees), I started using Chat with various providers since I don't like to talk on the mobile phone.

It almost seems the chat agents are multi-tasking so any transaction / conversation just takes that much longer. While it is good you can frequently get a transcript at the end, I think I still prefer to talk to a human. You can also gauge better their competency level in this day of inexperienced employees....

I think I do prefer the chat if anything so they can get the spelling of my name and details right. Also appreciate being able to make changes via SMS while I'm in the office so I can still take calls and such.

My chat session that began at 4:22pm finally ended at... 7:15pm! The final message from the FIFTH person I dealt with was this-
I do apologize it took you hours to correct this one. I will surely provide feedback to the representatives involved about this.
