Port-In Delay
Phone port finally went through this afternoon after I took up my case with three or four of Smarty's webchat agents. They escalated my case after I badgered them yesterday citing technical issues on their end.
Took a whole week. Good luck to anyone else doing number ports.
I meant it as a generalisation, not as a direct quote.
Then please, make that clear when you post generalisations, as it is too easy for such comments to cause offense, especially when on forums such as this.
Part of what to remember here is, we on this forum, are Smarty users, just like you, and any posting we (including me) make are there to help, rather than be offensive.
I'm sorry but maybe you're reading comments too closely? If I have to walk on eggshells around here it makes me just want to port my number straight out of Smarty and close my account. Far too much hassle already to be dealing with overtly-sensitive readers lecturing that my port delay concerns can 'cause offense'.
Jaybird, might I suggest reading the House Rules.
Your "port delay concerns" are not a problem at all, I perfectly understand them. I can appreciate wanting your port to be in place for your call later today.
I have been asking for clarification of what you have been posting as some of your words have been open to interpretation.
If you feel that that request for clarification, and my other responses, make you feel like you need to walk on eggshells, then perhaps you need to consider "how you would feel" if someone had posted in a similar manner, with you as the object of the comments.
In your post above you say "Far too much hassle already to be dealing with overtly-sensitive readers lecturing that my port delay concerns can 'cause offense'". This, to me, is passive aggressive phrasing.
If you don't like being held responsible for the words you use, then either stop using them, or consider their effect on others (whether that's on forums or at work) before using them, and if needed rephrase your comments.
Although you don't seem to like my responses, they have made me wish I had never tried to help. If you treat others in a similar way, some will stay silent. Others will stand up for themselves, just as I have done.
Good luck with your call later today.
