I feel ya, OP. I've been in the same boat. SDI's phone system is a nightmare on a good day. Hang in there!

Have you checked if theres an SDI office near you? Sometimes its easier to just go in person if you can

Visiting in person might be time-consuming, but it can sometimes lead to better service compared to phone calls.

Here's what you need to do to fix your phone issues and get in touch with SDI: 1. Troubleshoot your phone: - Remove and reinsert your SIM card - Check for any software updates - Clear your phone's cache - If all else fails, do a factory reset (but back up your data first!) 2. Alternative contact methods: - Use a friend's phone or a public phone - Try a VOIP service like Skype or Google Voice - Visit an SDI office in person if possible 3. Contacting SDI: - Call early in the morning, right when they open - Be persistent, you might need to try multiple times - Have all your information ready before you call - Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really stuck Remember, patience is key. The system can be frustrating, but don't give up. Good luck!

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out my carrier was doing maintenance in my area. Maybe check if there are any known outages?

Checking for outages is a great first step. Sometimes temporary problems can cause a lot of anxiety.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've tried restarting but no luck. I'll check with my carrier about outages. Anyone know if SDI has an email option?

I don't think SDI has an email option, unfortunately. They're pretty old school when it comes to communication.

Have you tried using a VOIP service like Google Voice? Might be a workaround for your phone issues.

I'll look into Google Voice, thanks! Hopefully that'll work until I can get my phone fixed.

If you're planning to use Google Voice, make sure your internet connection is reliable to avoid dropped calls.

Ugh, phone issues are the worst! 😫 Especially when you're waiting on important calls. Maybe try using a friend's phone or a landline if you have access to one?

It's a good idea! Remember to save your SDI contact details somewhere accessible.

Yo, I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

$20? That's kinda steep. Why should we have to pay to talk to SDI? 🙄

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. Saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny IMO.

How long did it take for them to call you back?

I've used Claimyr before. They call back pretty quickly, but it can depend on the time of day.

Given the challenges you're facing with your phone, using Claimyr can be a real game-changer. It offers a convenient way to handle long wait times and can make dealing with SDI much less stressful. Just be sure to weigh the cost against the urgency of your situation. For some, the $20 is a small price to pay for the convenience it provides. Meanwhile, if you're not in a rush, opting for traditional methods might be the way to go. Also, keep in mind to check your phone settings thoroughly - software updates or even a simple SIM card reinstallation might resolve your issues. Patience and persistence are key when dealing with tech problems and government services alike. Good luck, and hope you get through to SDI soon!
