Calling any kind of customer support is frustrating. First, you have to find the right number to call. Then, you have to wade through an endless automated system.
“Press 1 for English.”
“Please enter your account number.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t get that. Please try again.”
Aargh! Just give me a person, already!
These systems make you want to throw the phone out the window. But don’t do it. I have a solution.
Most customer support numbers have ways to bypass that nonsense. With a little help, you can go straight to a human. I’ve got two sites you’re going to love.
This site is invaluable. Its founders believe companies should provide high-quality customer service.
The database has more than 100 well-known companies. You’ll find the correct customer support phone number. And gethuman tells you what to press or say at every prompt. You’ll be able to race through these automated systems.
Find the company you want, and enter your personal phone number. Bringo will call the company for you. When it reaches a person, it will call you. It then connects you with the representative.
