That's a trick the phone tree people use to try and get you to listen closely to all the options. Just about every one you call says that, including ones that haven't changed options in years. The bottom line? THEY'RE WASTING YOUR TIME BY MAKING YOU LISTEN TO THAT BS! As for account numbers, that's another annoyance. How often have you called the phone company, had the computer tell you to enter your phone number, read it back to you, and ask you to confirm. Then you talk to an agent and they say "what number are you calling about?" I usually reply "the one I already entered" but they claim to not be able to see it. Makes you want to reply 1 800 $#^@ YOU! ONCE AGAIN, THEY'RE WASTING YOUR TIME! You’re right, it’s pure BS.
