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 Pandora Radio 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 Pandora Radio 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 time to call
The least busy day to call Pandora Radio is Wednesday. The most busy day to call is Thursday. Again, this is based on a sample of 5,787 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 Monday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
The best time to call
In summation, the best day to call Pandora Radio is Wednesday. 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 Pandora Radio staffs the call center well on Wednesday.

My Experience Calling 510-451-4100

Sep 11, 2023

Calling Pandora Radio was a very frustrating experience. Despite offering phone support by giving customers a phone number, it turns out that the company doesn't really offer any live support. Essentially, all you get when you call the number is a recorded message, and the same can be said of their online support. It is aggravating that there is no way to get real-time support or talk to a real person at Pandora.

I needed help because I am supposed to have a family plan, but despite my payments coming out, I am having trouble with multiple people using the account at the same time. Pandora has a number of different subscriptions: some that are available to all consumers and some that are available as add-ons or bonuses from companies such as AT&T. So, there are hundreds of reasons why people might call them for support. For this reason, I would expect them to have better support than they do. Once again, though, this is not the case.  

When I first called this number, I was greeted by a recorded message that said, "Good day, you have reached Pandora Internet Radio." It then offered me several options. "For assistance using Pandora or for questions regarding your Pandora subscription, please press 1. For advertising inquiries, please press 3, or please visit help.pandora.com." Then, it said, "Or to speak with an operator, please press 0. To repeat options again, press star."

I listened to the options a second time to make sure I didn't miss anything and then pressed 1. This led me to a very long recorded message that cemented the fact that they would not help me in any way. 

It said, "We provide email support 7 days a week and are committed to responding to you as quickly as possible. We are not able to provide any support online. We will not be able to answer any questions via the phone or voicemail." It then told me to go online to help.pandora.com to read information and if I had any additional questions to go online. After repeating the message a second time, it hung up on me. 

I wanted to talk to someone, so I called back, and this time chose the talk to an operator option. To my surprise, you don't get connected to an operator, but instead, after a short pause, it starts all over again with the original greeting and menu options. I tried it three times, but it just circles you around. 

In the end, I had no choice but to go online and work with the live chat. After you fight your way through the bot, this will get you to a real person. It isn't what I wanted to do, but Pandora clearly offers users no other choices.

More Ways to Contact Pandora Radio Customer Service

There are of course other ways to contact Pandora Radio customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
X (formerly Twitter)
Pandora Radio, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
Pandora Radio's website
https://help.pandora.com/s/ - Customer Service
Online customer service submission form
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Pandora Radio customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
