iHateHolding… Don’t We all!!

Sean Riley is a small business operator with a passion for giving it to larger companies that waste his time. He set up iHateHolding.com after many moments of frustration with phone prompt navigation that we all unwillingly endure!

How To Override Voice Prompts

Westpac Example
Tip on how to speak to a REAL person at Westpac:

Ignore the prompt that asks you to enter your 8 digit customer number. You will still be directed if you wait.

NAB Example
Tip on how to speak to a REAL person at NAB:

Speech recognition works very well, so just say what you need and you get through to an agent. And start speaking as soon as you hear the prompt.

“I have no trouble trusting the general public on the internet as I believe that if you give people a chance to be good, they will be. My hope for the future of this web site is that people will treat it with much the same respect as the successful wikipedia and even use it as their personal telephone book.
