Why do the sales team in Manilla have US imitation accents if they are trying to sell to the UK?

Re: Has the Indian Call Centre being given the heave ho?
 

That's one of my pet hates too - if they're dealing with the UK they should be speaking UK English.

It's because the companies who teach them English are US based.

In the past I have preferred the customer service from Manilla based call centres compared to Indian ones, e.g. Be Ltd and T-Mobile. But they haven't tried putting accents on. The VM sales line operatives are just sounding silly though. It really doesn't even sound like I should be talking to these guys re a query, considering I'm from the UK.

Re: Has the Indian Call Centre being given the heave ho?
 

T-Mobile staff in Manilla are also trained in American English. A friend of mine was one of the party for T-Mobile who went over there to train up the managers for when the callcentre opened and they told him they though everyone around the world would prefer to hear American English.

Only problem is in Filipino culture it's normal to use silly nicknames so if you ask for their names they are allowed to say things like "Baby", "Sugar girl" etc

And not just nicknames

I can't see it's a problem though. More a talking point.

Re: Has the Indian Call Centre being given the heave ho?
 

I'd see it as a problem. Imagine you call them up and you feel the agent is fobbing you off, wasting your time etc.

You ask them for their name and they say "Queen Elizabeth". How sarcastic is that going to sound? It's hardly going to instil confidence in the customer that the agents will take their issues seriously.

My cousin works for T-Mobile so I asked him if he has to deal with the Manilla call centre and hhe said he does and hates it because of the fake accent.
