If you have ever been trapped in automated call center hell, you know that there's a way to get a human being but you just can't figure it out.

Now you can get there faster by referencing the online cheat sheet at get2human.com.  Since 2005, these bloggers have maintained a database of toll free customer service numbers and the prompts that will produce a real person. For example, in some cases you say nothing, but in others you repeatedly say: Advisor!  Save time and aggravation with the major consumer companies by consulting this list.

On a crusade for sensible customer service, the GetHuman (TM) team provide resources on how to do it right while blasting those who get it wrong. Compare your customer service process with the Get Human Standard.  Find out who met that standard and are recognized for great customer service.
