The repeated question "Is there anybody out there ?" suggests that no response is heard.

Only just looked at this thread .... one trick here in NZ when calling the national Telecom provider, is to just keep rattling the zero key about 10 - 15 times, that immediately stops the computer and a human answers. Works for other sites as well, and if not then the worst thing that can happen is .. I'm sorry I didn't understand that, press 1 for .... etc. Nothing lost in trying.

There used to be a website called http://www.getahuman.com - or similar, which gave the number, or numbers, to press for getting straight through to a human but it was only rigged for USA numbers, but it was a fairly comprehensive list of many USA companies. Doesn't stop the human putting you on hold for the duration of The Enigma Variations of course. No answer to that - tho"..... I wonder what might happen if one was able to send an earsplitting screech down the line ? Probably disconnect and have to start again ?
