how can i get a live person? ive been on hold for 1 hour 30 minutes

A) I understand your frustration! Being on hold for that long is definitely not ideal. Unfortunately, I cannot directly connect you to a live person, but I can offer some suggestions that might help:

1. Check the company’s website or social media for alternative contact options: Many companies offer additional ways to reach them besides phone, such as live chat, email, or even text messaging. These options might have shorter wait times or even allow you to avoid waiting altogether.

2. Use Google’s “Talk to a Live Rep” feature: This feature is currently in testing and only available on some devices, but it can be helpful if it’s available for the company you’re trying to reach. It allows you to search for the company’s customer service number and then request a call from Google once a live representative is available.

3. Try calling back at different times: Call volumes often fluctuate throughout the day, so trying again at a different time, like early in the morning or later in the evening, might lead to a shorter wait.

4. Consider leaving a voicemail or sending an email if possible: If you can leave a voicemail or send an email explaining your issue, the company might be able to get back to you sooner than waiting on hold.

5. If you’re using a mobile phone, try using a service like “Hold for Me” (Pixel phones) or “YouMail” (Android): These services can automatically detect when you’re on hold and then call you back when a live representative comes on the line.

6. Be polite and assertive when speaking to a representative: Once you do reach someone, be polite but firm about your situation and the length of time you’ve been waiting.
