AT&T Call Center Launches New Dedicated Polish-Language Line for Polish-Speakers in Midwestern U.S. Region. CHICAGO, October 27, 2008 - As part of ongoing efforts to provide customers with services that are relevant and convenient to them, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced a new service support line available to Polish-speakers throughout the Midwest region. The new service line provides billing and technical support, and offers the ability to order AT&T products and services in the customers' native language. AT&T's Polish-speaking customers will be able to dial 1-800-417-1588 to access additional support services in-language, including U-Verse and AT&T Wireless. "The Midwest is home to more than a third of the country's Polish-speaking population, and a big part of what we do as a company is connecting our customers to their world, in-language," said David Pojtinger, director, Midwest Consumer Language Channel, AT&T. "Through our new Polish support line we offer valuable services that help our customers with their daily lives. We make it easier for them to stay connected to their world, while at the same time continue to grow our relationship with this important consumer group."

I think 'Press 2 for Polish' is a great idea. The old world could maybe take lessons from the new world, while I have not seen a world wide Census, I'd bet something that there are more people that speak Polish outside of Poland than there are Polish speaking people inside of Poland. So it would be nice if non-Polish speaking people could access the Polish government, or businesses in Poland, in our new language, and have them be as helpful and understanding.
