Marcin Musiolik emailed me and asked me to mention No Phone Trees . Here is what he had to say. Interesting if you spend a lot of time doing this.
——————-

Our mission is to help users skip phone trees and connect with a real human on the customer support phone lines at many companies throughout the U.S. Users simply choose the company they wish to call, and we’ll dial the company directly, navigate their phone tree, and call them back when they are in queue for an operator or customer service representative. The service is available for free, and we’ve gotten some great feedback so far.

We are in the middle of doing a soft beta launch, and we are trying to get early feedback to refine the site before we publicize the site more broadly.

Give their site a try if you are tired of walking through the maze of numbers.
