Slowly she flipped through the pages and eventually found the number she had been searching for   Quite relieved, she dialed the numbers and waited for a response.   The call soon ended after a long wait. Feeling almost apprehensive, Mrs Susan dialed the numbers again, this time it did not ring for too long before someone received the call.    "Hello! Customer's service here, please put down your request or complain."
