to the NVC..
I'm slightly OCD and have to listen to the automated system to tell me what I already know. It's a routine I go through daily..and I can't today and it's driving me nuts! hehe

Is anyone else having this problem?!

I called the NVC about an hour ago. They answered immediately. We've found it's really hit or miss. If you get the dreaded spanish message, hang up and call right back. I don't think you need to wait through the prompts, so write down the menu options and you can skip through pretty quickly. It's all about patience...

I've called probably 25 times today (psycho I know) and it's either been busy or right away it places me on hold for a line to come open on the automated system..then the automated system hangs up on me.

I remember the couple times I called...I wrote down the prompts first time around, then when I didn't get through I'd call back, do the prompts and then put the phone on speaker phone so I didn't have to carry it around glued to my ear.

When I was asking about my parents, I had it down to a routine. Press 1, then 5 hear Spanish, Vaya con dios! Try again. It is drilled into my head still. I had the best results at 9PM EST or 11AM EST.

It's been a long time since I called, but when I did, twice, I called late at night. I was in CST and it was close to 10 or 11 pm when I called.

I thought I was going crazy..until I read this:
