10 tech company customer service phone numbers plus a secret way to know wait times

If the long wait times and hard-to-find numbers don’t make it clear enough, I’ll say it: Tech companies don’t want to talk to you.

Here’s a secret I bet you didn’t know. You can have Amazon call you if you have a problem with an order or anything else. Tap or click here for the secret spot on Amazon’s website.

You can use the chat function on a site, but scammers have made those hard to trust. Tap or click for red flags to spot a Facebook chatbot scam that steals login details.

When you need help, always find contact info on the company’s official website. Even that isn’t always easy. Luckily, I did the digging for you.

Stop Googling! Here are 10 numbers you might need

It’s very dangerous to Google search tech company phone numbers. Scammers work the system to get spoofed websites and phone numbers as the top search results via ads.

Tap or click to see a YouTube ad scam that almost fooled someone in my family.

Instead of waiting for a response to an online form, try calling. Know that the wait times may be extended. (Keep reading for a clever way to see just how long.)

I also included links for those who would rather use a contact form or chat service.

  1. Amazon: 888-280-4331; Go here for Amazon support.
  2. Microsoft: 800-642-7676; Go here for Microsoft support.
  3. Apple: 800-275-2273; Go here for Apple support.
  4. Google: 650-253-0000; Go here for Google support.
  5. Meta (Facebook and Instagram): 650-543-4800 (Heads up: It’s hard to get someone to answer); Go here for Facebook support. Go here for Instagram support.
  6. Tesla: 888-518-3752; Go here for Tesla support.
  7. Roku: 816-272-8106; Go here for Roku support.
  8. Samsung: 800-726-7864; Go here for Samsung support.
  9. PayPal: 888-221-1161; Go here for PayPal support.
  10. Zoom: 888-799-9666; Go here for Zoom support.

What if you need to contact a company that’s not on this list? As I said, your best bet is to find a contact number on the company’s official site. You can also try this trick.

It’s a mail-dominated industry: Remember yelling, “Just need to drop this off!” in the post office line? USPS heard you. They’re trying to cut wait times by 40% by redesigning 2,600+ locations with techy lobbies, 24/7 lockers and kiosks. But, yes, it still smells like paper and stress in there.
