Are you sick of those annoying interactive voice response (IVR) systems that many companies use? "Press 1 for Customer Service, Press 2 for Sales," as you navigate an increasingly frustrating maze of options in an effort to reach a human being who can answer your question or process your sale.
ivrhacks.com is a directory of shortcuts to IVR systems for companies around the world. These shortcuts allow you to exit this maze as quickly and as effortlessly as possible, taking you to a human operator who can respond to your call in the old fashioned way; using their own voice and interacting with you through conversation.
Although IVR companies have done a lot of good work and there is a place in society for IVR applications, we think that things have gone too far and interacting with an IVR system is no longer a choice; and that can be particularly difficult for the elderly and others.
Much of these shortcuts have been sourced from the various lists and databases that are scattered across the internet and others have been submitted by readers. We welcome new additions to this list and will, over time, be extending the directory to include other countries around the world.
Feel free to use this form to submit new shortcuts.
