'To speak to one of our customer services representatives about this policy, please enter your twenty-six-digit unique customer reference number, which you'll find at the top of your online bill. To access your online bill, simply obtain an online access number from one of our representatives, or hold for further assistance.' it continued, before playing 35 minutes of looped Norah Jones and then disconnecting.
