For instance, I’m on Jury Duty in the US this week. Kinda a freebie but I still have to call in and input my “ID” number, birthday, and zip code before entering phone tree options to hear my summons status. So I saved a contact in my phone for the jury hotline with the main number, my Id number, birthday, zip code, and menu option numbers all separated by a comma. Now when I dial using the saved contact, it will automatically enter everything in and I don’t have to fumble around and spend unneeded time to hear if I have to report.
This can easily be adapted for any automated phone system that you call frequently although you’ll have the best results when you have to enter in a long account number like at a bank.
YYSK: It’s a huge timesaver in the age of digital automation to use your phone to navigate phone tree menus
That and the call screening! Anyone not in my contacts gets to talk to the Google AI, haven’t been bothered by spam calls in years!
It’s funny to read the transcripts of my scam calls “helo this is Amazon we want to confirm order of appel macbook pro for 195,824$ please confirm thank you”
