And your confirmation number is...

Hey, don't you love paying bills over the phone? Isn't it so much more convenient and easy? For those of you who are still using old fashion envelopes that you have to address, stamp, and stick in the mail all by yourself, read on to see how easy it is to do by phone:

"Okay...let's see got my bill, my wallet, ok...dial the number...1-800-TakeMyMoney..."
Thank you for calling Take My Money. For English press 11.
"Okay 11"
I think you pressed 11, if that is correct press 2.
"Okay 2"
Welcome to Take My Money. What would you like to do? You can say, "Make a Payment..."
"Make a Payment"
I think you said, "Cancel my policy" if this is correct press 1 if not press 2.
"2"
What would you like to do? You can say, "Make a Payment..."
"Make a Pay-Ment."
I didn't quite catch that. What would you like to do -
"I'll tell you what I'd like to do"
I didn't quite catch that please try your call again later. -Computer hangs up on person-
"Okay, try this again, bill, wallet, number...1-800-TakeMyMoney..."
Thank you for calling Take My Money. For English Press 11.
"11"
I think you pressed 11, if that is correct, press 2.
"2"
Welcome to Take My Money. What would you like to do? You can say, "Make a Payment..."
"MAKE A PAY-MENT"
To make a payment, you will need your credit card number, the number on the top left side of you second to last bill, your mother's madien name, and your shoe size. Please enter or say the number of the credit card you will be using.
"12345678"
The number you entered is: "12345678" if that is correct press 1, if not, press 2.
"1"
I think you entered '1' if that is correct, press 1, if not, press 2.
"1"
At the sound of the tone, state your name to verify credit card payment, because nobody who stole your credit card, could possibly read your name off of it for the computer. *TONE*
"Jane Doe"
You said, "Jane Doe" if you didn't accidentally say the wrong name for your own again press 1, if you did press 2 and see a doctor.
"1"
Thank you for your payment of 2.50. Your confirmation number is 12438573523784468362.4
To repeat this information press 1. If not what you would you like to do? You can say -"
"Good-bye!'
Thank you for calling. Good-bye.

See how simple? Why would anyone ever use a stamp?

  1. Jen you crack up my whole life. Yesterday I got, "If you would like to take a survey to tell us how well we did, press 1 now, to take the survey later press 2" I didn't want to take the survey at all! They didn't give me that choice. I was finished, so I just hung up....wonder how the survey took that answer?
