IVR

“Paying by phone via the IVR — interactive voice response — or a live customer service representative is definitely a preferred option,” Miller says.

This is clearly an undercount of the public's exposure to references to polling data, because the study omits polls conducted with state or local samples, polls conducted online and by IVR, and polls about issues other than presidential electoral politics.

“Robocallers simply can’t decipher the greeting, hear the list of options/extensions, and therefore the IVR blocks 100 percent of robocalls with no further intervention required,” he says.

“Defendant harassed plaintiff with robocalls until she had to resort to a lawsuit to make the calls stop, and even then TWC could not be bothered to update the information in its IVR system,” Hellerstein wrote.

Originally, consumers called a toll free number and parked with Parkmobile using a simple IVR solution.
