Comment on Ask HN: Would you be interested in using a VoIP system that has an operator?

Comments

That seems much slower and more error prone than typing in the number.

What might make more sense is more of a concierge. “Please, connect me to the Home Depot in Alren, TX.” They find the number, give options if there are some, and connect the call.

If I’ve already had to get the number to give to the operator, the value is gone.

That existed for decades in the USA just by dialing '411'. It only went away a few years ago in many locations.

Yeah I agree, that would be neat
