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 Toshiba below.
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.
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 Toshiba phone number to document the phone system.
Here is how our research team describes the way the Toshiba phone system greets you: Dinabook America - Tech support for laptops, say "tech support." Warranty registration, repair status, purchase recovery media, say "information." Support on accessories or info on how to purchase, say "accessories." TV-related product repair, say "TV."
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest:Press 0 at each prompt, ignoring messages.
What are the hours and when should I call?
Toshiba operates the call center for this 800-457-7777 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Monday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 402 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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 Toshiba 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 Toshiba 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 Toshiba 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 Toshiba is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 56% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 402 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

People who call the Toshiba 800-457-7777 customer service line expect to get answers to their questions about Toshiba computers. Hardware issues or other concerns may keep the computer from operating smoothly. If a laptop is still under warranty but has problems, a customer might need to return it or find a local service center. In my case, I have a Toshiba computer that I purchased a few years ago, which may be considered obsolete by now. However, I called the customer service number to see if there might be upgrades like drivers that I could download to make the most of my outdated Toshiba laptop.
When I called the number, the automated response system welcomed me to Dynabook Americas. For a moment, I thought I had called the wrong number because the name “Dynabook” made me think I had reached some travel or hotel booking service. After hearing that greeting, I was inclined to hang up, but almost immediately, the voice asked me a question to help me get support from Toshiba.
The voice said if I was calling about a Dynabook laptop or accessory, say “yes,” otherwise say no. My answer was “no,” and the automated response system told me to go to the Toshiba website to get support for that brand. That was the gist of my encounter with the automated voice response system.
Since the purpose of calling the Toshiba customer service number was to get an answer to my Toshiba question, I was curious as to why I reached Dynabook. Upon looking at their website, I learned that Dynabook is now Toshiba Client Solutions Co., Ltd.
When I called this number, I expected to speak to a Toshiba expert who could answer questions to help me extend the use of my older model laptop. What I got was a referral to a website. Although I was disappointed when I could not speak with a customer service associate, I appreciated that the automated response system was straightforward in getting me to a web-based resource that may be helpful. There was no exhaustive list of prompts instructing me to press this or that number, and the system did not ask me for unnecessary personal information.
I still prefer speaking with someone who can listen intently and help me solve problems. I have learned that even when I don’t know the correct questions to ask, a knowledgeable customer service associate can usually help me solve a problem.

If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Toshiba provides this option.
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
Toshiba, 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.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Toshiba 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.
