gethuman dialer
This is an iPhone app that queries gethuman.com after you initiate a call (namely a call
to a customer service number), so that it can promopt you with
instructions on how to circumvent the phone menu and talk to an actual
human. Here's a demo.
The web site gethuman.com lists instructions on how to reach a real person when calling various customer service and support lines. It has a lot of good information, but isn't easy to navigate with the ibrick, so I thought it would be helpful to be promopted of these instructions right after you type a number.
