If you’re anything like me, you don’t have time to hit 1 for English, 2 for customer support, 1 for hardware, 2 for laptops, 2 for blah blah blah….just give me a human! Automated phone systems have taken over our lives and and stolen a lot of our time. Fortunately though, there is a way around it! A database is available at http://gethuman.com/us that lists exactly how to reach a human at practically every major company in America. Some examples are:

• Sallie Mae ‑ Student Loans 888‑272‑5543 Don’t press or say anything.
• Apple 800‑275‑2273 Press 000; if virtual rep answers, say “operator.”
• Dell 888‑560‑8324 Press 00 at each prompt.
• Amazon.com 800‑201‑7575 Don’t press or say anything.
• Cingular Wireless 800‑331‑0500 Press *## at each prompt.
• Verizon Wireless 800‑922‑0204 Press #00 or enter phone # then 0 4.

Sliced bread doesn’t have squat on this!
