This is the newest item of the Claro gauntlet thrown into the PJT household.... No COLLECT calls. PJT attempted to make a COLLECT phone call to the US this Sat AM and as usual as it happens every year around this time the line was busy and would not connect to the Operator. Then PJT by routine calls customer service at Claro and ask them to tweek their data base to allow PJT's connection to the Operator to make the COLLECT calls.
Well ! Guess what ? Claro now says they do not honor COLLECT calls any more. All calls from the DR to the outside are with charges.
PJT suspects it is an agenda by Claro to get more direct and high tariff revenue and to discourage and eliminate land line usage. Don't know if they can do this as they may be breaking agreement among international communication services over the use of COLLECT service. But, of course we all know the culture of keeping agreements in this country.
PJT has already communicated to Indotel of this happening and is now waiting for a response from them.
Folks, what is your take on this.
Regards,
PJT
