There are boxes you can buy that go between phone and wall socket, and handle this task. The ones on which I have my eye are actually repros of old GPO telephones which can handle these menu systems without any adaptation.
That said, the voice-operated versions of these systems have become so sophisticated, that this soon won't be an issue anyhow. A few years ago, before I set up a direct debit, I called my electricity supplier to pay a bill. The entire conversation was with a computer running voice-recognition, and it was as easy as ,maybe easier than, dealing with a human.
