-
- I am pleased to announce that GTE has finally fixed my DISA, over one
- year after it stopped working.
-
- My Direct Inward System Access lets me access my home centrex system
- when I'm out of the house. Over one year ago it stopped accepting my
- security code. Since then, calls to repair service have resulted in
- nothing but the problem being "cleared", or worse, being told that my
- DISA number does not belong to me so there is no way they can take a
- report. As recently as last week, GTE dispatched technicians to my
- home (twice) to try to fix the problem (good diagnosis, GTE!).
-
- After enlisting help from the business office, I was finally able to
- convince someone at repair that I actually do subscribe to this
- service, it used to work, it doesn't any more, and it's a software
- problem so stop sending people to my house.
-
- The message finally got through and they fixed it on Friday. While I
- had their attention, I asked if they could please change my security
- code from 1234 to something a bit more secure. "Sorry, it's
- hardcoded" was the reply. I don't believe it. And I am surely not
- going to pay for any calls when someone discovers this.
-
- GTE ... I'm still not impressed.
