Tired of Talking to a Computer

I'm tired of calling my services and getting a machine. I get a menu, another menu, and another menu before I actually talk to a human being I can bully.

So I'm asking the readers to post this: the number and directions to whatever service they call (or are used to calling) to get to an actual human being. Leave it in the comments. At some point, when there's enough, I'll compile it on a separate entry.

Here's my two bits to begin with.

1. Zpdee (Sky Cable Internet)

Number: 631-0000

Press: 2

Press: 4

Estimated Savings Time: 21 seconds (there's a lot of advertising in the opening menu, and a secondary menu to boot).

2. HSBC Premier (credit card)

Number: 878-9008

Press: 1

Press: 4

Press: 0

Estimated Savings Time: 18 seconds and an entire day ruined (there are three menus, and the lady talking is a bit too chirpy)

Where are your numbers?
