Tell me about it. I phoned the operator in Orange County CA, to get the emergency number for UK Visa Card. My US bank did not know it.

In the beginning the girl kept telling me to go to my long distance provider, I told her she was my long distance provider. She then put me through to some one else and I knew something was wrong.

I was speaking to someone who cared, really cared, who tried to find out the answer, who spoke to her supervisor, who also tried to find out and also cared. They both spoke Excellent English. They were in Bombay.

I eventually solved the problem, Eva phoned information in Czech. They gave her the info in seconds.
