    There are always solutions, some easier than others while some are quicker than others. Important is to communicate with customers, openly and factual. Their frustration should frustrate you. Keep them updated in your journey towards providing a resolution.

    When dealing with frustrated customers over mobile network issues, start by staying calm and patient. Reassure them that their concerns are being taken seriously and that you're committed to resolving the issue. Offer immediate relief, like a credit for the inconvenience or a service upgrade, if applicable. Keep them informed with real-time updates on the situation. After resolving the issue, follow up to ensure everything is working as expected. Lastly, encourage customers to provide feedback, showing that their opinions help improve service. This builds trust and strengthens customer relationships.

    When dealing with frustrated customers I try to under promise and over deliver. They are already having a hard time. Making them happy because it started working after 20 minutes instead of the hour I had promised makes small victories seem massive.

    Listen and understand. Be calm, mind tone, be patient. Solve emotions first (use different technoques)!!! Explain options and what you CAN do to fix the problem, act quickly, confirm solution with client (get "yes), keep your promise. All this is customer care by the book but... we have a person in front with a problem and emotional about it. We will appologize, show emphaty etc. but is this what client wants/needs. He/she wants problem fixed and trust it will not happend again. Therefore, probably the most important thing is to talk naturally and friendly, explain in a way that make SENSE to customer, be guide with usable advice, and build trust - you are there to help and will help even if sometimes along the journey things go wrong.

    Empatize with the customer, practice active listening, identify his key concerns and propose solutions. And help him in put them working. The customer has to perceive that you are part of his team.
