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 Otterbox 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 Otterbox 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 Otterbox is Wednesday.The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 18% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 611 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

In summation, the best day to call Otterbox is Tuesday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Otterbox staffs up on Tuesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
