Voicemail Cheat Sheet

SUMMARY: Try getting past automated voicemail systems and talking to a real human with this handy website.

Paul English, CTO of a travel search engine, has created an IVR (interactive voice response) cheat sheet. This way, instead of contacting major companies such as American Express, Kodak, or Sears, and navigating through constant automated voicemail menus, you can just dial the listed numbers and talk to an actual human.

Note that the instructions are subject to change. Your results using this site for a particular company may vary.
