Have technical support call YOU!

Creative new site, Fastcustomer could not be any simpler to use.  Find a company in the list of more than 3000, click "Have them call me", enter your phone number and go about finishing your business.  A representative will call you back.  The site lists a wait time estimate as well.  Give it a try.

A second option, that is just as cool, Lucyphone.  Can you guess how this site got its name? Think acronyms: Let Us Call You. It works in much the same way as Fast Customer. Select a number from the list or enter a toll-free number if you have it, and click Start; Lucy will call you back and patch you through. 


You’ll probably still need to navigate the phone-tree jungle; if you are put on hold, however, you can press “**” (“##” on Google Voice) to leave a message for the agent who takes your call, or you can leave a call-back number. Once an agent is on the line, Lucy will call you back. A mobile version is available for iOS and Android.
