    Yes but what is the chances of the OP getting that same customer again when they call back, if he works in a large call centre then it isn't likely.

    But I bet you get the cool thing where phones/network goes down if you plug an ethernet cable into two sockets

    Always amazes me how people manage to do that. It's like they just discover the end of a cable and wonder what happens if they plug it in. Then they leave it plugged in despite the lack of network.

    Well not exactly. I deal with his enquiry, when computers and networks are up. When the phones are back up and running. I phone the person back.

    Which he probably isn't expecting. +1 for me
