Want to talk to a human being instead of a recording?

Mighty handy, this. It's definately going into my "just in case" book. It's getting more and more in it these days, my little hand-bound book. I've got how to tell predict the weather in it, ways to bypass censorship, medical tips..and more. This'll just be one more neat little tidbit which might come in handy one day. ^_^ Awesome finding, dearie.

MEGA THANK YOUS for this link! Totally awesome! Now I am much more willing to call instead of e-mail my needs to different service providers I deal with. The a/s's are nice if you only have simple things to take care of, but they are a nightmare if you need something NOW! For instance, I got home late one night, opened the mail and saw a charge that didn't belong on my account. I had only 2 minutes left before they would close for the day. By the time the a/s got me where I wanted, it switched over to the "our offices are now closed" message. It stalled me for 4 minutes. And I can't help but think that that is designed in. But I am now armed, thanks to you. If there is a next time, HA!, I'll have the upper hand!

Thank you!! I am sure that will come in handy. I have put the link into my favories for later use. I hate those automated answering services. If I am calling for something, I want a person.

Thanks for the link. It is frustrating to call and get stuck within an automated system instead being able to talk to a real person!

Well, that was really good. At least you have a choice. lols. Here in my country it is often automated system that answer when you call companies. Though sometimes it took so long just before you could have what you want. well, pressing zero will direct you to operator or being hung up.

Thanks,visitorinvasion. I will try that link. I have tried to dial '0' many a times while calling certain Cos. It has worked a few times and other times I had to start the call all over again.That drives me crazy. Thanks again.

Hmmm strueth it is a nightmare sometimes trying to get to speak to a human, most places these days have menu after menu it drives me mad, I think there should have been limits to what businesses could do, heavens there wont be any jobs for real people soon...

Had to laugh! I was beginning to wonder if the phone systems and services had been abducted by these recordings and that I was the only human in the world LOL! The worst thing I hate is having all the options, press 1 for this press 2 for that, press 1000000 for this, grrrr. Save my sanity from these dalek talking services LOL!

that's pretty funny... usually, like with my phone company, you get a voice prompt, where you have to say what you want to get through.... if you swear enough at it, like 3 or 4 times in a row no matter what it says, you get pushed over to a rep, or if you hit 0 a bunch of times in a row, with the rest of the companies i deal with, hitting 0 enough times fast makes them push you through immediately, but if you do it slowly, it just takes forever to get through. that's cool though, i didn't know they had websites for that now haha... amazing how far technology can go eh...

haha, that's fantastic! it is so hard to speak to humans now, everything is automated or overseas with people who don't understand you. I get so frustrated when all I want to do is ask a simple question!
