Do you think that Email Conversation is the best way to resolve Customers queries or difficulties ?

Just think for a minute ! You are doing some important work using internet, suddenly there is no internet connection. What you will do now ?.... I know some of you will try some troubleshooting steps on your own, but still internet doesn't comes up. So what next ? Of course you will call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to resolve this problem. 

Recently I also had an similar problem, but not with internet connection. I was facing some difficulties while doing online bill payment on freecharge.

That day, I saw freecharge website with new user interface. I entered the details (Consumer no. & Cycle no.) for paying Reliance Electricity bill, but when I clicked on Submit, the screen went blank. I refreshed the page, tried with multiple browser also but same problem. I thought Email will the best way to contact freecharge customer care, but....checkout this screenshot what happened later !!

Email Conversation between Vijay and Freecharge

This Email Conversation started on 29 May and went up to 6th June...but I didn't got the proper resolution for the difficulties which I faced during bill payment.

I heard many times that Email is the professional way to communicate, but not in every situation. I believe Email conversation takes more time to resolve any problem as compared to other methods (Chat/ Call), isn't it ? 

For example: I had one doubt regarding validity while doing Vodafone Recharge, then I have used Chat service and I got answer within few minutes.

Whenever I want quicker resolution from Customer Care, I Call them and my problem is solved faster than Email or Chat Service.


Conclusion:

I think Quick resolution to Customer queries or difficulties can be solved in this sequence:
1stCall 
2nd - Chat 
3rd - Email
