We called the Social Security Administration's national 800 number with general questions for this guide. The menu asked for a Social Security number; we didn't give one and still got an agent. Here is the menu, the 20 minute hold estimate, what the representative said, and the full 22 minute recording.

We called The Home Depot twice with general questions for this guide. 1-800-HOME-DEPOT left us on hold until a survey picked up. The online orders line reached a live representative in 1 minute 34 seconds. Here are both recordings, the menus, and what the representative said, checked against homedepot.com.

Three recordings cover account verification, a cheaper plan quote and the representative's callback. Nothing on the account was changed.

Five recordings show why our calls needed a tracking number, how the callback worked, and what the agent said about holding a package.

We called Experian’s freeze line 15 times in one afternoon. Here are the routes we tried and a 9 minute recording of the call that got furthest.
