Their phone menu has the same annoying trait. First, it tells me that it costs me 10 cents a minute, then it gives me the menu. Then another menu. Then another menu. I know the numbers I need (1,1,1), but it won't accept input until it has told me the cost. I _know_ the cost, that's part of why I want to hurry up! For each successive menu, I have to wait until it has at least described the first option before it will accept my input. - Ann
