Conversations with HAL
 
This is how a lot of my conversations with HAL goes:

HAL: I looked up the number you are calling from and found and account is this your name H J E N S E N 7 9 please answer yes or no
hjensen79: Yes
HAL: I am not sure I understood that can you please repeate
hjensen79: Yes
HAL: I looked up the number you are calling from and found and account is this your name H J E N S E N 7 9 please answer yes or no
hjensen79: Yeeeees
HAL: Please answer only Yes or No
HAL: I looked up the number you are calling from and found and account is this your name H J E N S E N 7 9 please answer yes or no
hjensen79: Yes
HAL: Sorry I was not able to understand you, goodbye

This phone system drives me CRAZY.....

Once I pass the Yes/No question, I usually try to see how many times I have to say Agent before I get an agent (mostly 2-3times, the third time is just me making sure that HAL knows).

e.g. do I dial "12" to represent "AD"? I find that when I do so, it seems to send me to a queue with a long wait (minutes).
I'd rather not have to say my number aloud.

It is 23 as per the phone keyboard.
That seems to work almost all the time and it then gets me to the zip code for confirmation = > agent in seconds

But HAL is dead. I don't care for NED, the CO voice.
