I've never heard glottal stops used to break vowel clusters like that,
not even in commercials. But they *are* clearly separated; in this
case, for example, the rounding of the /o/ is fast and very pronounced.

We have here one "Llame ya" here BTW... I guess equally hideous-sounding
than your "Llame ahora". ;)
