AIBU to NOT expect phone calls on Boxing Day......

[Allergictoironing]

Telling me that my mobile contract can be renewed with a new phone? Actually I'm pretty sure my contract is NOT up for renewal for a few more months - I can keep going as long as I like as things are and only need to sign a new contract if I want a new free handset - but that isn't the point, it's bloody BOXING DAY!

This is not a working day for anyone except shops and essential services, and I don't class phone contract renewal as an essential service. My very elderly Godmother is in hospital so calls from a withheld number right now tend to make me a tiny bit panicky if thay are outside "normal" office type hours anyway, but even without that I expect peace & quiet if that's what I've got planned, not fcking sales type calls .

YANBU defo! Bloody cheek!

Oh, I thought you were about to say from family and friends and I was about to say YABU and really anti-social. But no, you're not

Wow those poor bastards having to work Boxing day.

Sounds like a scam call to me.

Not a scam call jessjessjess, it's pretty standard if you have a contract from Orange. There are companies that work as agents for them, who get a cut if you renew through the agency company. I get this every time the fixed term is up on my contract, at least 2-3 different companies calling me to try to get to renew through them & offering me a new handset, standard practice.

It was just the Boxing Day thing that really pissed me off, especially with my Godmother so ill.

I work in a call centre, not for orange, and the only day we are closed is Christmas day. Bit rubbish really

bet you get some choice answers frying! poor you!

It's not too bad, I only take incoming calls :-D
