I've allways been with BT but when i phone them up and go thru all the options it says i'm not a BT customer, i know i am but can't pass the automated nonsense and speak to anyone, any advice on speaking to a real person?

Assuming you really are BT customer, including phone calls & line rental, then do not go through the options, do not press any buttons at all, just wait & wait & wait
The programme will eventually think you are disabled / deaf or daft and put you onto a humanEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -
Pretty sure, some people still do not have touch tone phones.0

sometimes i dial 151 for bt line problems or 152 for business customers you can get through to a human but they will put you through to residential customer services as it is nothing to do with them, you could ask them if they know how long the waiting times are.
sometimes i will also try the hash key when it gives you the daft amount of numbered options.My Signature is MY OWN!!0 -

If I had know that I would have saved myself hours of waiting for the new system customer services.
Away to try it out to see if I can get my caller display. Only asked for it 2 weeks ago. Mind you I have been waiting 5 weeks for them to give me my old tel no!!!!!I have never met a calorie yet I didn't like!!0 -
Away to try it out to see if I can get my caller display.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0
