1800 edd number still getting busy signal after 150 attempts this week

I tried starting early but still nothing. How long did you stay on hold once you got through?

2 hours and 15 minutes, then the call dropped right when someone picked up. I wanted to throw my phone across the room.

Is that legit? I'm desperate enough to try anything at this point but I don't want to get scammed.

Yeah it's real, you can check claimyr.com and there's a demo video at https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10 - they got me through in like 20 minutes vs the days I was wasting

I was skeptical too but Claimyr actually worked. Paid like $20 and got a call back with an EDD agent in 35 minutes. Best money I ever spent honestly.

Seriously?? They don't mention that anywhere! I've been calling right through lunch thinking I'd have better odds.

Yep, it's like the whole system shuts down. Save your sanity and don't call during lunch.

This explains so much! I thought there was something wrong with my phone when I got nothing but busy signals from 12-1pm yesterday.

Wait really? I've been alternating between both numbers thinking one might be less busy!

Nope, same queue. You're just wasting time switching back and forth.

That's actually genius, every second counts when you're redialing constantly. Thanks for the tip!

Also don't bother calling after 4pm any day. They seem to stop taking new calls even though they're open until 5.

This shortcut saved me probably an hour of total dial time yesterday. Still didn't get through but at least each attempt was faster.

Thursday afternoon worked for me! Called at 2:30pm and got through on my 40th attempt. Still had to wait 90 minutes on hold though.

That's actually pretty good for 40 attempts. Usually takes me 80-100+ tries just to get on hold.

Oh my god that would destroy me. After all that work to get on hold and then it just drops??

Yeah, it's a known issue with their phone system. They haven't fixed it and probably never will.

This is exactly why I ended up using Claimyr. Got tired of the dropped calls after hours of waiting.

847 attempts?! That's insane. How do you even have time for anything else?

I don't. I've been calling from 8am to 5pm every day while job hunting. It's exhausting.

This is exactly why automated calling services exist. No human should have to make 847 calls just to talk to someone.

How much did it cost? At this point I'm ready to pay whatever it takes.

I think it was like $19 or something. Compared to the weeks of wasted time, it was nothing.

Same experience here. Claimyr got me through in under 40 minutes after I'd been calling manually for 10 days straight.

Thank you! I wasted an entire morning trying to find this mythical specialist number.

Yeah, all those old forum posts are outdated. Stick to the main 1800 edd number.

What app do you use? My finger is literally sore from hitting redial so much.

There are a few auto-dialer apps but honestly they're hit or miss. Claimyr is more reliable since it actually navigates the menu for you too.

I feel you. This whole process makes you feel crazy after a while.

Day 12 is rough. That's about when I gave up on manual calling and went the Claimyr route.

Yeah I'm seriously considering it. Can't keep living like this, calling constantly and getting nowhere.

Congrats! That gives me hope. 63 attempts in one day though... my phone bill is going to be insane.

Yeah I have unlimited calling thankfully. Don't know how people do this with limited minutes.

This is why I switched to using calling services. My phone plan couldn't handle hundreds of calls per day.
