    The key is to ask at the beginning of the call, before they know you are
    pissed off. STart off withsomething friendly like "this is Joe Blow, to
    whom am I speaking please?"

    That is EXACTLY what I do, and all to often the reponse is "John".
    And if I then say "How may I uniquely identify you?" The response is:
    "John".

    Yeah, I could never get anything more than a name. Not that it matters,
    their notes are God, and if you have been told something by someone else,
    they really don't care unless it's in The Notes.

    They don't give badge numbers - they can give you their log in ID, their first
    name and the Code for the Call Center they work in.

    Would be wonderful if they actually did that.

    Technically, they should note your account, and then with a first name,
    the next person you speak with should be able to figure it out.

    If they do anything at all to your account, check balance etc. the notes are
    autonoted and the login ID is there in the notes and can't be erased - the next
    time you call - person taking the call can see that log in.

    Unless they tell you something just to get you off the phone. Like that
    they'll waive the fee, yet when you call back the next day, there's no note.

    That is true - if they do nothing but open your account there is no autonote -
    but if they do anything at all - i.e. even checking your minutes or balance,
    the autonote will be added.

    I noticed they keep fairly good records when they want to.

    So the first thing one should do then is ask for their balance? Then a
    note will be created??

    This is one way to be 100% sure account is auto-noted with Log in ID, date of
    call and I think time (not sure of that). There are other questions but
    asking for minutes used or balance is probably the easiest. Once the account
    is autonoted those notes cannot be erased (unless there is a system outage when
    you are on call). If you have called and were promised something that CS
    didn't put in notes - the autonote will be there and you can prove you did call
    - giving you a plus in talking with supervisor etc.

    It would be NICE if that policy was observed.

    It is. With 1200 people taking calls just in my call center alone,=20
    obviously some people think they can get away with not doing it. We'd=20
    have to hire just as many to look over them in order to stop it 100%.
