Quick Tip: Never Talk to a Corporate Answering Machine Again!
In an effort to lower costs, most large companies now use automated answering machines to handle the bulk of their calls. It may be annoying for the customer to “press 3 for purchase inquiry”, but the fact is most calls can be handled this way, and so it is a great way for companies to save money. But what do you do when you absolutely must talk to a human being?
For that, use 1800Shortcuts. 1800Shortcuts is a list of hundreds of popular companies, their phone numbers, and the magic technique for each that will get you talking to a human representative. No doubt a very useful list to bookmark, because you will almost definitely need it in the future!
