Got disconnected during important call - how to get a callback?

Hey everyone, I just got disconnected while on a call with an agent. Has anyone else experienced this? It's so frustrating to wait on hold forever only to get cut off. Any tips on how to get them to call me back?

Ugh, that sucks! I've had that happen to me before. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone. 🙄

I swear they have a disconnect button they press when they don't wanna deal with us anymore 😂

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

$20 seems steep just to talk to someone. Shouldn't this be a free service?

I thought so too at first, but when you consider the time saved and stress avoided, it was worth it for me.

Have you tried calling right when they open? I've had better luck getting through that way.

This is why I always record my calls. If they disconnect, at least I have proof of what was said before the cut-off.

I use 'Call Recorder' on Android. Works great!

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's ridiculous how broken the system is. We need to start a petition or something to get them to fix their phone systems!

100% agree. Who do we even complain to about this? It's a joke at this point.

Pro tip: If you get disconnected, immediately call back and tell the agent you were just on the line with someone. Sometimes they'll put you through to a supervisor who can help faster.
