e.g. do I dial "12" to represent "AD"?....

Believe in that approach 2=ABC 3=DEF .....but I have attempted that approach multiple times and it does not work for me.

My old MP number still works but keypad entry of the new id does not :confused:

Strange, this works fine for me every time.

Happy to report that I called yesterday and the system recognized me from my phone number.

That is completely not true about having to enter one's MP ny
Number on every call! Some mis-informed UA agent you had there!

In 5 years, pmUA and UACO, not once.. at all.. has the 1K line, or any UA number, _ever_ recognized my phone number. I didn't even know it COULD until I saw this thread.

And the same with me :(. Looks like something wasn't broken got fixed. :rolleyes:

Not a good type of hat-trick ;) and this is getting as bad as dreading Saturday mornings and schedule changes as it now appears that every time COdbaUA decides to fix something, they break something else that actually worked properly :rolleyes:

To add: Now it's not recognizing my home phone phone number as well :(

Well fwiw, both my cell (primary) and home (secondary) numbers are now both being recognized this morning. Now if only other more important things can get fixed as quickly as this ;)

The 1K line always recognizes my number, as another 1K member's number. The first agent said they couldn't fix it. The second agent told me I needed to, obviously not understanding my problem.

My phone number has not been recognized for at least 3 months. And I'm not sure I even get a "1K Agent" about half the time. I've gotten the ICC a few times other times they just answer the phone "Premier Line." Is there a new number for the "1K desk?"

Not liking most of the changes.

I've never had great luck with the voice recognition from United (works just fine with AA though...) so I just always type my MP# and Zip Code in. Works just fine that way...

CO to UA
 
Coming from CO, the system automatically recognizing me by my caller ID phone number is a big upgrade.

Too bad it's completely offset by its inability to:

1) recognize "existing reservations". at. all.

2) recognize "yes"

3) recognize anything, really

This must be the CO system because that system had trouble recognizing anything also, even spelled out OnePass numbers, I always had to type it in on the keypad. Good thing "1" = "Yes", so I can fix #2. Delta has pretty good IVR voice recognition.

Is "HAL" dead??
 
Interestingly enough, in the few days post 3/3, the system recognized me by phone number. However, have had to type in my MP number since about end of march, every time.
