What are the hours and when should I call?
Apple Pay operates the call center for this 800-692-7753 phone number Mon-Fri 9am-11pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 96 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
Call when they- and you- are open
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, you can also schedule the call with Apple Pay at a time when they are open and when it works for you. We will confirm you are ready before placing the call, just in case. 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 Apple Pay 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 Apple Pay 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 Apple Pay is Wednesday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 93% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 96 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

When you first call Apple Pay, you are immediately greeted by an automated system that informs you that it can speak and listen to full sentences. It then asks you what your question is so that you can be redirected to the right person. This is extremely helpful and welcome since it means you don't have to listen to any directory map. I was ready to listen to a dozen different options but was able to streamline the process by telling the automated operator that I needed help adding a card to my Apple Wallet.
This was a tremendous help because I was immediately transferred to the technical support line instead of shuffling through a bunch of different operators. The automated assistant spoke clearly and understood me on the first try, even with noise in the background which was also notable.
Before the transfer was completed, I was asked to confirm my identity via messaging that was sent to my Apple devices. A simple message on my mobile phone asked if consent was given to speak to a representative about this account. Not only was this impressive, but it meant that the company had already verified my identity, so I would not have to go through my account info over the phone with the agent once I was transferred to them.
Both of these measures saved time, and in less than two minutes, I was in the queue to talk to a representative. I called in the evening around 5 pm and wasn't sure if it would be busier than calling earlier in the day or not, but the wait wasn't too long. I waited about five minutes to speak to a technician, and then our conversation took another five minutes.
It turned out that the card I wanted to add could not be added because the issuing bank does not support Apple Pay. While I was disappointed, the technician was very helpful and conducted research quickly to help sort out the problem. They also offered me several helpful hints about shortcuts I could take to add other cards to Apple Pay in the future.
My total phone call took about seven minutes and addressed my issue in full, so I would recommend their service to anyone in the future. The only thing that might complicate it would be calling from another phone since it can't automatically identify you then.
