brolin_empeyCan anyone here fluently speak Chinese (Mandarin I think, as spoken in Shenzhen)?10:51
brolin_empeyI have a question about the USB hub I bought from Qicent but my email to support@qicent.cc cannot be delivered and apparently the person(s) who answer their +86 PSTN number do not speak English even though they played music with English-language vocals while I was on hold.  My spoken Chinese vocabulary is little more than knowing how to say “hello” so asking them in English if they speak English did not get anywhere.  I find it surprising that their10:57
brolin_empeyhttp://qicent.cc/ Web site is written in English and provides a telephone number answered by person(s) who seem to not speak English but maybe this is normal?10:57
brolin_empeyOr maybe they could not understand/hear me due to a problem with the VoIP (VoIP.ms) service I use to call PSTN numbers outside of Canada and USA?  I called someone in New Zealand with the same service and the person I called seemed to be able to understand me, though, so I guess the person(s) who answer telephone calls at Qicent do not speak English.11:02
