Why do businesses hide their phone number?

By
Real Estate Agent with RETIRED 200305001

Lately, I have ran across alot of businesses that don't put the phone number on bills or other correspondence. My garbage company is one.  I got a robot call that I would be fined if I didn't setup E statements with a credit union I recently bought a car from. You guessed it NO phone number on anything so that I can call them.

Why would a business make it tougher to contact them?

Good morning Rob. I see this often too and wondered as well. I suspect they just don't want to hear from their customers. Sad and annoying. Suggested.

Rob - Well, if you have no customer service, why flaunt it with a phone number? Sad isn't it?

Good morning Rob. That is crazy and something I have never understand. Something you and I would never do.

Thank you for commenting on my post.

That is really strange and a foolish way to run a business!

Rob,

That doesn't make sense does it?  I've seen many real estate agents that don't make their lcoation prominent on the site either..

Rob, obviously, they are doing their best to curtail any kind of "LIVE" communication...shame on them.
