Different company have different phone systems. Some, when you press "0" goes directly to a representative. But for some companies there is a direct extension. When you go through the button pressing and actually speak with a rep, ask them how you get through directly.
They will tell you, or at least I do.
I find the voice prompts more annoying then the button pressing.

I find that a lot of the time if you dont press anythink and just keep hanging on, the phone will ring and you will be put straight through but do not press any numbers. Give it a try 9 out of 10 times it works

A very good question! Most automated systems I've visited work in a 'loop' ie. if you don't press a button you start again; and if you're lucky/unlucky enough to reach a real person, you're connected to a place you don't want to be. Lots of this type of system use a Premium Number, and we pay them for the privilege of 'getting nowhere'. I hope we all get a good answer here!
EXTRA: The US links might be ok for the US, but not here in the UK

Don't Press anything they'll think you're a dinosaur with an old phone and get a real person to answer. Works every time.

some call handling softare screens for people who dont have a touch tone phone. so if you dont press a number when requested it may divert to an operator.
failing that you need to know the persons direct line

Press star and the hash sign together and repeatedly quickly. This forces the system to jump to a person.
Works, I've done it.

when you call and get an answering service you must listen to the first recorded message ie. for training purposes ect........then hit STAR HASH STAR HASH several times and this should take you straight to a person on the other side
works for me good luck....

You can't unless you have a direct extension number. Know what you mean it does my head right in.
