LPT: Bypass questions from an automated assistant when calling businesses by adding “I will not give you anymore information” after you have said what department you are trying to reach.
ETA: TLDR This eliminates follow up questions.
I’ve done this when calling a few different large businesses like Verizon wireless and smaller companies. When the system asks how they can help, I say “customer service. I will not give you any more information.” Then it says “Okay” and connects me.
I’ve tried different variations and they’ve resulted in a follow up question. When I answer the follow up question with “I will not give you any more information”, I get connected to customer service.
My test pool isn’t huge, but it hasn’t failed me yet.
Edit: grammar
