I have a phone can't get rid of it without dumping my internet, and I have a cell phone, however, I dislike trying to get customer service to do anything. I watch my cousin and her husband grab a phone call and spend more than 30 minutes just getting directed to the correct person, I could do a lot of things in that same period of time, read a book, clean, walk, write 20 or more e-mail, shop and buy on the internet. It absolutely annoys me to listen to someone telling the same story to five different people listen to that horrid stuff they call music and it isn't in my book, and then maybe get your issue solved to your satisfaction. I avoid it whenever possible and sit here tense and ready to toss anything at anything else when I must do it. Due to a hearing problem, hard to listen to something else while waiting. I feel like I am wasting time, even though I am now no longer working, and can waste time, I dislike doing it on something I dislike so much. Friends may call me, I may talk for hours on the phone, not all that often, but, I hate customer service phone calls. My time is as valuable as theirs.
Sorry, this is definitely a hot button for me. I have had to make some of these calls since my husband passed last year to change utilities to my name ... and I usually end up angry or depressed after I have had to sit for hours and, some phone conversations have lasted more than an hour and a half trying to accomplish something that should have taken no more than 15 minutes. People tell me it is the way it is, but it does not make me like it.

Some of us don't want to spend time sitting on hold, slogging through menus and spend an hour doing something they should be able to do in minutes. I happen to be one of those persons, I hate sitting on hold, dislike the music and the advertisements, hate being transferred multiple times to finally get the right person. I'd love to have a person around who would do that kind of stuff for me, my late husband did mainly over the last years because I was working. I am not now but I want to just give up entirely after spending hours on such detritus. I want to order from the computer, communicate and walk away for a while. Given any choice at all I will use the computer over the phone for anything dealing with supposed customer support. Cousin loves the phone, thinks she gets something accomplished, I let her do it if at all possible and I spend time in another room. Customer service is, in my humble opinion usually so frustrating that I am tempted to have the phone taken out. Nothing worse than waiting and waiting for the correct person to assist and it happens all the time. Point being made is every part of a purchase or return should be accessible to everyone!
