I had a unique experience... I was calling Visa one day. They are
always busy. I was busy too so I didn't hang up the phone when I got
the busy. It was sitting on my shoulder for about 2 minutes while I
typed on my terminal... It started to ring... I waited. Visa answered.
Amazing. It works repeatedly with them but not other places.
