Hate Hanging on Hold for Customer Service? So Do I!

I subscribe to Techie Diva and receive her cool tips, trends and the latest gadgetry every day. What can I say, I am a gadget girl.

Here's what Gina, Techie Diva, found out about a new service that lets you STOP hanging on hold forever waiting for a live person to come on the line.

"I sat down with KPIX last week to test out several free phone services, to see how they really worked. One of them was Nophonetrees.com which came at the perfect time since I had been trying for days to get a hold of someone over at American West airlines. I really got frustrated when I tried calling their customer service department, who then gave me a phone number to another office in Phoenix that is only open during business hours. Through nophonetrees. com I was able to have the service call ME back when my call got into a queue that would transfer me to a live rep. Pretty awesome. The other service, I told you about last week. It's called 1-800-FREE-411, and you can make free direct assistance phone calls anytime. You can watch a short clip of the interview over at CBS 5 Consumer Watch, which aired locally in the San Francisco Bay Area. Has anyone tried these services?"

I don't know about you, but I have better things to do than be put on hold all day. I am definitely going to use this service. Thanks Gina!

With Gratitude,
