How to Get Human Customer Service

"Of course at FSO, you can always count on getting a live person to help you."

Good Morning Folks,

Have you ever had a problem with a company and wished you could just get a person on the phone? Yeah, me too!

According to Steve Anderson, "Even with all the technology at our disposal sometimes it is faster, easier, and creates a much better customer service experience when you can actually talk to a customer service agent. But, it can often be difficult to find the right number to call."

That’s why you need to bookmark GetHuman.com. This site does one thing really well. It maintains an easily searchable list of over 8,000 company customer service phone numbers that, in most cases, connects you with a real live person.

It also provides advice and shortcuts on how to get through voice menus as well as tips on how to receive good service. You can also see reviews left by others and leave your own reviews about your experience with a company for others to see.

The site does have quite a few ads displayed between blocks of information so just make sure you click on the information you want and not an ad.

GetHuman.com also works on your mobile phone. No special phone necessary. Any Internet-enabled phone can use GetHuman.com by using your browser to navigate to the website. When you visit on your cell phone, you’ll see a mobile version of the site that is fitted to a smaller screen.

If you have an iPhone or an Android device, you can download the free GetHuman App from the respective stores. The app has customer service phone numbers for major businesses, and the steps for getting a live person – just like the website. But unlike the site, the app is on your phone, meaning that you can contact customer support from wherever you are. The app dials the phone number for you after suggesting how to talk to a real person."

Of course at FSO, you can always count on getting a live person to help you.

Have a GREAT day. Love LIFE!
