How to avoid automated phone systems

No comments

One of the more frustrating things to deal with are corporate automated systems. Sometimes you just want to talk to a person. In fact, I can’t really think of a time when I’ve called a company and haven’t wanted to talk to a person.

Of course, there are tricks you can use such as holding down the # key, or repeatedly pressing 0, but those methods can disconnect you and you’ll have to start the whole process over again.

Enter the Get Human Database. It’s a website with dozens of major businesses and how to bypass their automated systems to speak to a real person and it works like a charm.

You can browse by category but I prefer to use Command + F (that’s Control + F for you PC users) to bring up Firefox’s in-line search box and jump straight to the company I’m looking for.

The result is less time on the phone and more time doing whatever it is you’d rather be doing. Like reading LivSimpl.
