GeorgiaPeach said:The two times I decided to hold I waited 45 minutes and then had to leave the house. That's why I wish they would let us change our mindsand choose call back after holding.
The third time I did the call back and it was over 2 hrs....10:30 at night!
Just curious as to why you didn't just hang up and call back and then do the call back option??
I love the call back option!! I always do it. I have called so many utility companies and had to sit on hold forever, I think it's great PC offers this, I had never heard of it before this!
