Does getting in a call centre queue drive you nuts?

Ever dialled an 08 number or mobile help line and been passed from one option to another then been held in a queue for ages?

Ever wondered what the call charge is for the time it has taken for someone to answer your call and then be told "you have the wrong department.. I will transfer you" then be put back in to the queue again?

Why do they do it?... 

They make money each and ever time you dial their number so its in their interest to keep you hanging on for as long as possible!

You can now beat their system and save minutes (sometimes hours) by jumping the queue using these phone cheats...
