One thing I noticed about EVA's call center, is that if you do make it past the "we're busy" brush-off message and into the phone queue, the system asks you 3-4 times if you want a call back or to continue to wait, which is only slightly annoying. The real annoying part is the questions alternate between option 1 and option 2 for staying on the line, so you have to pay attention and not blindly select. But after the 4th ask, it gives up and you get to wait in the queue.

Yes but a lot of times they cut you off and hang up if they are busy. Eventually now I have managed to get the number for their G members I complained that I get cut off and the agent was surprised and asked me what was the number I called and then gave me the InfinityMileage contact number.

That's the "brush-off" message I mentioned. That happens as soon as you call in after the English/Chinese question. If you don't get the "we're busy" message, and you start getting asked about call-back I've found that once I make it past the "do you want a call back?" prompts, I don't get hung up on. The waits vary, but at that point, I do get someone to pick up eventually.

Yes it is an automated hanging up I think. yes once you get past that you can get through but now they have given me also their G membership number and I can put in the number and they do call back.

MNL, BKK, TPE, LAX, YYZ, YVR, EWR and HKG and even ORD and IAH. Not the airports but their offices.

I've never had a problem getting through to the TPE service number listed on their website. It may take a few calls, but once you get past the "we're busy, buzz off" message and get into the queue, I've never been dropped.
