I for my part have never tried to settle that in the WAW lounge, but over the LO hotline, typing #6 for *G works usually.

I have all the hotline no's of the relevant carriers in my cell phone@:-)

In recent history, complaining with SK appeared to me like shouting into an empty can (without the echo of course..)

A bit of DYKWIA might pay off now and then
That's a "gutsy" move, I don't know if I am able to pull that off, never tried so far, but good to remember, speaking about SK and the inherent lack of a general 24/7 *G hotline...
