Thumbs down Need help. Abuse from CODETEL/CLARO.

Humillación y burla de parte de CODETEL/CLARO

Please read the story about what happening to us with CODETEL.

Dear Carlos Slim

If you have any resource where you can publish a link to our blog, I will really appreciate.

Living here for 6 years, never seen anything like this. Verizon was not perfect, but not even close as bad as Codetel/CLARO.

FYI, Verizon customer service and competence were no better. I had similar problems with them as well.

General incompetence is just par for the course for businesses here in the DR.

Dear Franco,

These types of issues are very common here in DR. I went through the same mess when I had the service installed in my house and I was not looking for high speed internet.

Good Luck and I hope that you do get a positive answer back

If you think that's bad, Carlos Slim has owned Telmex in Mexico for years, and he has done a good job keeping out the major telephone companies from Mexico up to 2004. This guy has made his money on the backs of the poor people in Mexico, He charges from your home phone to call the U.S. which is right next store, close to a dollar a minute.
