Any FREE phone numbers I can call and be stuck on hold for a while...

[dman]

Just curious. Been getting some intermittant buzzing in my conversations and have disconnected all my phones, except for one and it still happened. Swapped that with another phone but don't have any calls to make right now... Figure there's gotta be a techsupport line I'm guaranteed to be on hold for 1/2hr.

Just let me know which co and I'll find the number. I'm not dialing any pay #'s or longdistance...

Thanks.

my isp's tech support will gladly keep you on hold all day.

 

[mrCide]

try dell.

 

[Ikonomi]

I'd offer to put you on hold, but it would be long distance.

 

[Jzero]

Comcast is a slam-dunk.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Call some random 800 number and ask to be put on hold. Say you like the music, even if there is no music.

 

[LordJezo]

Verizon online tech support is always good.. 1 800 567 6789

 

[MazerRackham]

Hahaha, this is a great thread

Call your local hospital's morgue. I work @ a hospital and after 11 pm, no ones ever there, it'll ring and ring for hours if you let it.

Cheers, I was on hold for 15 min yesterday

911?

 

[Mr N8]

Cisco / Linksys is a good bet, too.

 

[DanJ]

Call HP/Compaq.

Minimally 30 minutes.

 

[StageLeft]

www.cgfns.org is a good one. Also uscis.gov main number.

 

[DanJ]

Oh I forgot the IRS has a huge wait time.

 

[dolph]

att wireless will keep you for an hour or so

 

[skychief]

Linksys, D-Link, Comcast, AT&T are all good choices. Linksys, I belive, once kept me on hold for over an hour with one big loop of Total Eclipse of the Heart playing. "Turn around bright eyes" was in my head for a month.

sony, i was once on hold for 45 minutes.

 

[Bolvangar]

HP! I was on hold with those people for close to an hour a few months ago

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Dell is always a good bet. Verizon and AT&T seem to be good. I'm pretty sure HP, Compaq, and a bunch of others are good as well.


Earthlink REALLY SUCKED when I called them. Hours and hours.

 

[Thegonagle]

Ha, try calling the IRS.

Maybe Verizon Communication (landline and DSL) are a good bet (I don't know--my area is served by Qwest), but Verizon Wireless is definitely not. I just called them a few minutes ago, and as usual, I got a live operator within seconds.

 

[Black88GTA]

Call the time recording. You know

"At the tone, the time will be six forty one and 10 seconds. BEEP!"

 

[hevnsnt]

you can call me if you want.. or I can call you..

 

[FrustratedUser]

Call MCI and get directed around their automated system randomly for an hour. Works every time.

 

[Bootprint]

Call muzak and ask to listen to the hold music.
