This blind call center is located in the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand under the Royal Patronage of H.M. the Queen and is now operational to support dtac and Happy customers.
 
Mr. Lars Norling, Chief Executive Officer, Total Access Communication PLC or dtac said, “Nong Dee Dee *678 service by voice” call center employs blind and visually impaired people, in addition to other disabled employees who are already working in dtac Call Center. This new service is created as part of the Sustainability Management, which leverages dtac’s telecom technology to improve the quality of life and the Thai society. dtac uses the Corporate Social Responsibility policy as a guideline in running the business and driving the organization and society towards sustainability.
Mr. Sigvart Voss Eriksen, Chief Marketing Officer, Total Access Communication PLC or dtac said, “dtac and Happy customers can use the call center service by calling *678 (3 Baht per call) and leave a voice message on the system immediately without pressing any key. The blind agents will then listen to the voice record and respond to the customer via the interactive voice response system or SMS. Currently, customers can contact “Dee Dee” Call Center for services, such as check current voice and Internet usage, turn on/off service, payments, subscribe package, activate/deactivate SMS service, mobile number portability, set up mobile Internet, and other new services in the near future.”
