Q:

How long will I wait on hold?

A:We don't expect that you will have to wait to talk to a person. This is a direct line. You can skip the hold time for free.

How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?

Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for AlienWare below.

Let us call and talk to AlienWare for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this AlienWare phone number to document the phone system.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Calling this AlienWare number should go right to a real human being
In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this AlienWare phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.

What are the hours and when should I call?

AlienWare operates the call center for this 800-433-9014 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Friday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 28 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the AlienWare call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
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 AlienWare 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 AlienWare 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 AlienWare is Friday. The most busy day to call is Monday. Again, this is based on a sample of 28 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 Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call AlienWare

In summation, the best day to call AlienWare is Friday. 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 AlienWare staffs the call center well on Friday.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.

Calling this AlienWare Customer Number

Aug 8, 2023

When I called Alienware for support, an automated voice answered immediately and thanked me for choosing Dell. She asked what she could help me with and waited for me to answer. If you don’t answer, she’ll prompt you to say a few words or choose from a list of options (recent orders, make a purchase, billing issues, or technical support). The menu repeats twice if there’s no reply, adding more specific options each time. After the third repeat, it transfers you to a representative.

I chose “make a purchase.” The automated voice asked if it was for personal or business use, then if I was interested in their Alienware and gaming computers. I was then transferred and put on hold. I listened to the pleasant music and automated promos for about one minute before a representative answered. He introduced himself and asked which computer I wanted to buy. I explained that I was looking at the Alienware laptops but needed help selecting one.

The rep asked basic questions about my computing needs. When I said I wanted their smallest laptop, he quickly read me the specs of their 14-inch model. I asked a few questions that he answered easily — he seemed knowledgeable about their computers. He gave me the full price of the laptop but said it was currently on sale. I asked about financing, and he explained their Dell Preferred account. However, I couldn’t apply for it over the phone. He needed to email me a quote that would include a link for me to complete the necessary forms.

Once I seemed content with the laptop specs, the representative started asking about the programs I use. He sped past the ones I already owned and gave prices for the rest. I would have liked some clarification at that point — for example, why I needed to buy their offered antivirus instead of using the free one I’ve had — but he didn’t give me much chance to ask. He seemed to have switched into salesman mode. He also recommended upgrading the hard drive and gave me prices for their warranties.

Overall, the rep was professional but a bit abrupt. It felt like he was just to get through a checklist. The menu system was easy to use. It’s all spoken but always understood me. I like that it gives you a list of options that get more specific as it advances. The call dropped at one point, and they immediately called back from 800-456-3355 without me giving them my phone number.

If you’re unsuccessful in calling Alienware support, try looking online. Other customers have mixed results from phone calls, especially with technical support. The reps are very helpful if you’re under warranty, but not so much otherwise. Dell’s website seems to offer the same information you can gather from a call; some things require you to go online anyway, such as applying for their financing. While Alienware used to be a standalone brand, all of its support is now Dell-branded.

More AlienWare Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact AlienWare customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

AlienWare Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)

twitter.com/alienwaretech - Customer Service
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
AlienWare, 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.

AlienWare Customer Help Desk / Web Support

dell.com - Customer Service
Use this link to find customer service help through their website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- AlienWare 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.
