Check out this website. It has 'cheats' for over 400 different companies and how to get a live human on the phone without waiting for hours or going through a million prompts. Good site to bookmark :} http://www.gethuman.com/us/ |

Thats a great list. I do phone systems and Data networking for a living- like the list implies, you usually just need to hammer the zero button. |

Another "trick" is to refuse to push buttons, and get trapped in the menu maze. Act as if you still have a rotary phone. Most systems will put you through to an operator after it cycles through the top menu twice. (Message edited by diablobrian on February 08, 2006) |

I needed to urgently speak to someone in my bank in the UK one day so I called the old number, from France & got transferred to a call centre, in India, who, after making me repeat my request to 2 or 3 different people, eventually relayed me to a customer service centre, in Scotland, who passed me on to my bank. Geographically I was nearer than any of the others to the person I spoke to in the bank! I wish there was a Euro version of that site. |

I alway enjoy building menus that send you back to the beginning after you get 4 or 5 levels deep. |
