Re: On hold, phone?
yep, i always either do the rotary phone trick, or get real freindly with a representatve and get there direct number only when i like how they work, or i do the bilingual thing,
most of the time yelling operator or pressing 0*0*0*0*0* quickly will work

Re: On hold, phone?
I worked as a CSR for Cingular.
I might upload their entire phone number list to that site if I can find it.
I've seen IVRs where you can press 0, get right to somebody. Some if you don't enter anything you'll get sent to a rep, while on others it'll say "sorry we didn't understand your entry, please call back and try again later. *click*." The spanish line for cingular is way quicker, they dont even get prompted, go directly to holding for a csr.
It was always hilarious listening to customers speaking to the ivr. Some are really sensitive so if rude ******* that insist on holding conversations with others while on the phone are talking, it'll think they said 'espanol" or just go to a random command. Some people would get angry and start cussing and screaming, ------- hilarious ----. I'd laugh at them so they knew I heard how retarded they are.
