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....”
“Did you say blah blah blah blah ? ...”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t get that. Please try again ....”
Aargh! Just give me a person !!!
These systems make you want to throw the phone out the window. However,most customer support numbers have ways to bypass that nonsense. With a little help, you can go straight to a human !
