phoning UKBA for an update

I noticed a lot of people are getting a status update on the phone.
Could someone please give me the phone number they are using, and the menu options they chose?
When I call 0151 6725626 and choose the logical menu choices, I get a recording saying " updates are not available for applicants who have sent their application in the last 6 months. ( I'm paraphrasing here)
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. That number seems to go to the same service, with no option to talk to an actual person. Just recordings.
Anyone else?

Try pressing 1 then 2 (or 2 then 1, don't remember), and you will get through.
Officially they don't give updates before 6 months but if you are nice, they might. If not, just wait 5 minutes and try again.

Thanks all, 2 and 2 works.
I didn't realise people were deliberately choosinging the wrong options, not that I feel guilty after paying £836
