I was wondering if anyone living in Ankara knew of something about a phone company/internet company in Ankara that is currently having job layoffs??

I am being told that my friends phone and internet is not being connected because the company is having layoffs. It's been 2 weeks! I'm not saying my friend is lieng but its sounds strange that itwould take 2 weeks to have aphone and internet turned on due to layoffs. He says he is trying to meet someone that is in the phone company so maybe it can be turned on sooner. Can someone from Ankara enlighten me a bit?

Thankyou! =))

Hi Seraph - it does sound a bit suspect, however I don't think its anything bad. My guess is that he has not been able to pay his phone bill and the phone company have disconnected his phone and internet.

Maybe his pride is preventing him from telling you. I think I would say the same! At least he is not asking for help

No h'es not asking for help, but if he's not saying the truth it means he's avoiding me...He lives with his parents and they just moved. He's always said before about economical problems...so...I don't know...I've been tempted to use my calling card and try dialing the number but what happens if someone asnwers lol I don't know much turkish, and then he would get angry I called...

It's frustrating

I didn't imply at all that he is asking for help . If there has been economical problems, I still think my first guess was right.

If I were you I would not pursue it further at the risk of embarassing him. Doesn't he have a cell phone you can contact him on in the meantime?

no he doesnt =( My suspicion is that he's avoiding me though...that's the problem...

Well, my advice (for what its worth!) would be to NOT try to contact him. The more you chase someone, the less interesting you become

Let HIM worry about what YOU are doing. Let HIM worry about how he can contact you If he was really desparate I am sure he has friends who have internet, or could use an internet cafe?

If you call him will it make him want you more?

He has been going to internet cafe, but I was justwondering how common it is for a layoff to prevent residence from having phone and internet service for 2 weeks! It's strange...he went 3 days without saying a word, and then finally e-mailed me yesterdaysaying he missed me etc and why havn't I e-mailed...I e-mailed him back saying I wasn't going to email him until he did first...It's frustrating...He's never been so strange until now. I'm feeling like I have little strings attached to my wrists right now.

Awwwwwwww you are lucky you caught me in Aunty Aenigma mood today !

Seraph, I REALLY REALLY think that his internet and phone have been cut off because of financial problems. Try not to worry and just see what happens in the next few weeks

Insallah that is what it is...because he's just acting so strange...very distant
