Customer Service Heaven



Tired of trying to call a major corporation and landing in Voice Mail Hell? Timothy Noah has written a series of articles for Slate magazine on how to find a human operator at those places.

He has also published a link to IVR Cheat Sheet, which offers a handy chart of instructions for evading voice mail at banks and companies selling cell phones, credit, insurance, computers, Internet, retail, shipping, telephones, travel, television, and power.

Ted Leach tells me of a similar service known as The IVR Cheat Sheet: http://www.paulenglish.com/ivr

It has phones in the areas of finance, government, insurance, pharmacy, products, retail, shipping, technology, telco, travel, and tv/satellite.
