Making Appointments

Is it better to call or is it OK to use text messaging to book appointments?

I've tried texting several times, but don't often get replies. My canto and mandarin are terrible so I prefer to avoid making calls.

Seems you already answered your own question.  If texts don't work, then calls are clearly the better way to go.  I usually call to make appointments, and yes, you need to speak canto or mandarin, otherwise for the most part you are out of luck.




I am not a "bro", so please don't call me "bro", bro

a lot of non-chinese speakers seem to get by in English

probably have to pass on some of the agents
but there seems to be enough english-speakers to keep them busy

don't give up, maybe throw in a "wo sik teng siu siu guang dong hua" and then switch to english.  You gotta have a thick skin and put up with a load of obstacles, to get the things you want.




Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

Definitely calling is the way to go.
Texting probably only works with less than half the agents.

Some agents speak English fine. I believe NBA and S1 do.

texting is always  a good way of making appointment.

U don't often get replies because :

1. WGs don't understand your text in English; OR

2. They are full booking for the day
