Avoiding telephone queing systems.? Sometime ago in the news there was a guy who had found a way around the automatic telephone systems. I recall that this fellow had reported on techniques to speed the caller through the lengthy button pressing procedures and also get through all of the advertising crap that you have to put up with that is foisted on you when all you really want is to talk to someone quickly. Also, he had an extensive list of the direct telephone numbers which would not normally be available for those organisations who have seen fit to make all of their customers have to phone infuriating call centres, this being the only interface that they offer. Does anyone else recall this and do you know where I can find the information?

What type of Telephone System, PABX can solve this issue? Points B and C are local, while A is a long distance station. I want to call from A to C. Now A and C are charged long distance. But I have a virtual hotline between A and B, which costs me nothing. At point B, I want such a telephone/pabx system, that can intake two phone lines, and one phone line, I use the A-B hotline for a free call to B, and use the other phone line to connect B to C (which will be a local call) so that effectively, my call from A to C becomes a local call also. So here is how it should go: Sitting at A, I dial B on line 1 at B. Then I dial a predefined extension and the device at B uses line 2 at B to call C, and then let A talk to C using these two lines. Any variation is also acceptable. Do such systems exist. What are they called. Where should I start looking for purchasing one.
Are there any types of telephone systems that can call multiple telephone numbers AT EXACTLY THE? I think there must be, because I've heard of warning systems that can call your house if a tornado was heading to your immediate neighborhood. So, certainly systems like this, that are designed to contact a lot of people in a community very quickly because of an emergency situation, don't just call one number, then wait for the call to end, then call another. So, I'm thinking that some new technological advancements have been invented that DO allow more than one phone number to be called at exactly the same time. I would guess that it's something really new, that's only been around for about three years or so. Am I right that this technology does exist now?

How can Chase shut down online and telephone bank access nationwide tonight? Online banking is unavailable due to system maintenance. Calling the "800" number gets a message stating that neither the automated telephone system nor the account representatives have account information either. It isn't even 11:00 p.m. in my area yet. Why couldn't they wait until 3:00 a.m.? Or perhaps they could have a backup system that would take over during these outages? Well, I guess I should have mentioned that it's "schedule system maintenance." Obviously Visa doesn't shut down their entire system nationwide.
How much will it cost to have an entirely new telephone wiring system installed at my house? My broadband speed is not up to scratch.

Question about telephone service for a small business? I'd appreciate an answer to this or if you can direct me to any site that deals with this it would be great too. I've got a small business of about 40 people and I want to install a telephone system such that people from outside would call a single number and my machine would ask for an extension to connect them to the person they're calling. I'm thinking of using Asterisk for this, but my question is, what do I actually need to get from the phone company? 40-50 telephone lines? or is that what they call T1, T3, etc? I just want to be better informed so when the time comes to talk to the phone company I can make an informed decision. Thanks guys.
