If it would save money would you mind if 911calls were routed to a dispatcher in India?

Yes, I would mind.

It's bad enough that they are now routed to other parts of the state.

Sometimes you lose more in the long run when you save too much.

honey

Sounds scary to me/

Yes I would mind! It's ok for airline tickets and insurance companies- but not for emergencies!

911 isn't about saving money. It's about saving lives. And that often depends on time. "Seconds save lives". Routing emergency calls to another country would jeapordize millions of peoples lives every year.

Not to mention, how much money are we talking about? The 75 cents on your cell phone bill or the $1.25 on your home phone bill? It varies state to state, but it's not alot by any stretch of the imagination.

When you call the dept of health here you are calling India and they can never figure out what to do no matter the situation. Many you can't understand. If there were extremely strict guidelines as to being able to understand the job 100% and speak and understand enlgish completely it would be ok for some jobs but not emergency's. The cultural differences alone can make things confusing. When people are panicked they already don't make much sense. So how well is a foreign person going to figure out our slang or phrasing of things they don't have or use.

There is no reason not to keep these jobs in the US. It costs more in the long run to the people.

Yes

I have had enough experience dealing with Indian computer technicians to know I would NOT want my 9 1 1 call re-routed to India. Half the time I can't understand their dialect and some are so surley, I regret buying the computer. Some just don't know what they are talking about. Keep my 9 1 1 calls at home!

I am not against outsourcing of phone related jobs to India but when it comes to emergency services, this is not a good idea. My view on outsourcing of tech questions to India changed when I watch the "30 Days" television program on just this subject. It seems that most of the jobs have to do with PC support. As long as Americans become more computer literate and understand how all the technology we use functions, the need for Indian Tech. support will wain.

Wouldn't that defeat the object of an EMERGENCY CALL ? No...I would not like it! I have never liked speaking to one of these call centres and worry that people in them have access to my private details including those concerning my bank account.

YES. Because they are hard enough to understand as it is. What makes you think that we want them routed to India? That would make things worse than they already are.

That would just cause more grief. Have a good day.

cool guy

YES
