This arrived in my email today:
Banks and airlines take 2.25 minutes, gas companies, managed funds, electricity and insurance companies 1.5 to almost 2.0 minutes to pick up.
Fastest, under a minute, are water companies, local councils and universities.
Here are the shortcuts to save you lots of time and money:
After you've dialled the company's customer service number, as soon as the voice prompts start, ring these numbers to get a real person.
ANZ Bank: 00000
Bank West: 00000#
Suncorp: 0000
Commonwealth Bank and RAMS Home Loans: 000
Citybank and Esanda: 00
Bendigo Bank, ING Direct, Westpac and Woolworths Ezy Banking, National Australia Bank: ###
St George Bank: just say the department and you're through to a real person
Or: Just say 'agent please' and after a couple of times it will put you through to an agent.
Does this work? Has anybody tried it?
