Definitely wont accelerate your application...its silly and a waste of time...call only when necessary...make sure u read the guides before submitting your application ...be patient and dont waste time calling when its not necessary to do so. Sit tight!
This is weird, but I largely agree with our resident PM-impersonator on this one. There's not that much to be gained from calling that often unless you are facing pretty specific challenges, i.e. need advice on filling out an RQ or whatever. Also, keep in mind that the Call Centre sometimes gives contradictory or false information.
