Internet v Phone calls

I get annoyed at the way that every time you ring a number you are immediately told you can go to WWW. I know that but sometimes I need to speak to someone,and I know many people are not on the internet. 1 company I tried to ring this morning had a recorded message saying that number is no longer in use go to WWW.

I hate that too deylon and on the other side of the coin, I hate it when a website says contact us but only gives a phone number.

Re: Internet v Phone calls

I feel the same as you Deylon.... in fact I'm surprised you haven't heard me swearing and shouting down the phone when, as you say, it tells you while you're waiting 'or you can go to our website....'

I scream 'I know that, but what if I don't have a computer?'

I hate when they play vile nondescript music to me telling me I'm 106th in the queue then reminding me of their WWW address
