      And download an app! It makes it all so easy!! WOW!

      We just won’t mention that the website is completely broken, as is the entire company, and there is a very good chance this call will never actually get answered at all.

      Eleven more minutes and I have made it to my self-imposed hour on hold limit so I can tick off “yes, I tried to contact the company” on the complaint form to the Ombudsman.

        Dammit, they answered at 59 minutes. Now I’m on hold again while she “talks to her team leader”.

        Oh, off hold now - she couldn’t get through to her team leader. 🤣

        Is this your health insurance company by any chance? They’re generally the worst at this stuff.

          Defence Health, who attempted to upgrade their system and have suffered a somewhat catastrophic failure.

      I had this precise experience calling Timezone on the weekend. I wanted to ask a specific question about a kids birthday party I have booked, and the hold messages were all about how I could book a party on the web.

      Argh!

        like last time I called my ISP and they kept telling me I could resolve my issue on the web despite an attempt to do so that explicitly told me you need to call customer service for this
