An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Office 365 Support phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Office 365 Support staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy day to call Office 365 Support is Tuesday. The most busy day to call is Friday. Again, this is based on a sample of 2,770 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Friday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday.
The best time to call

This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Office 365 Support staffs the call center well on Tuesday.

My Experience Calling 800-865-9408

Sep 12, 2023

There could be several reasons why a Microsoft Office 365 home or business user might call 800-865-9408 for support. Office 365 contains several software programs, each with unique challenges that can vex users. Additionally, those using Microsoft Office can access Microsoft One Drive cloud storage. One Drive can be challenging, so users might need support from Microsoft.

When you call the Microsoft 800-865-9408 number, like most software support lines, you're greeted with an automated message. The system directs you to press two for "Espanol,” and informs you that the call may be recorded, monitored and shared with other countries. Next, the system asks if the caller is a home or business user. Once you answer this question, the system prompts you to state why you are calling.

I told the system my call was about One Drive, Microsoft's cloud storage program. Unfortunately, the automated system didn't answer my question but directed me to help.microsoft.com for assistance. The automated assistant asked if I wanted to hear the information again. Then the call ended with, "Thanks for calling Microsoft. Have a good day." The system doesn't give an alternate number to call or offer a call-back option.

It seems the only way to get help is through the website. However, if you have had a previous encounter with customer service, you may already have a case number that could be the ticket to speaking with a human. 

What I found interesting is that as a home user, when I tried to call the number again from the same landline, the automated system directed me to the website and ended the call with "goodbye," which suggests that the system may have remembered that I had already called.

I called from my cell number, and after identifying as a business user, the automated system voice said, "I look forward to assisting you," and suggested they would get me help. However, as a business user, I needed a phone number associated with the product to get phone support. The system directed me to a "profile" website and said it may take up to 48 hours to get assistance.

Whether you're a home or business user, without a case number, you get a web address to visit for assistance. The system ends the call with no further help, such as alternate numbers or an offer to call the customer back.

Based on my experience with Office 365 Support's 800-865-9408 phone number, it only refers a caller to a website address. It offers no opportunities to interact with a human who might answer a question or walk the caller through a software issue.

If you're a home or business user with a problem that requires an immediate solution, know the case number and/or phone number associated with your account and be prepared to visit the website for help first.
