Beat Automated Computers in Call-Centers & Paying Premium for Help.

We have all been there, we have been cut off wrongly by a company or screwed around, we phone up a number to find that we are being charged the earth for (always after the fact and sometimes to the tune of £10 a time) and still we are stuck in an infinite data loop with a computer that refuses to recognise your plight.

Well, I say "NO!"

With this handy little website you can find out all those hidden little codes that bypass the automated computer and get you right through to a REAL live person so you can take all your frustrations out on them straight away rather than giving up halfway through and still having to pay them their premium rate :D

It lists many of the biggest companies including Microsoft, Amazon, British telecom...the list goes on and on.

This website listed below tells you the FREE numbers that companies have rather than those premium rate rip-offs normally advertised, have fun with it...if you have a deal for free local calls that would be even better of course lol
