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 Lenovo 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 Lenovo phone number to document the phone system.

Excerpt from a call with Lenovo
Friday, May 24, 2024 9:25 PM
What are the hours and when should I call?
Lenovo operates the call center for this 855-253-6686 phone number Mon-Fri 9am-9pm, Sat-Sun 11am-8pm ET.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 119 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 Lenovo 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 Lenovo 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 Lenovo 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 Lenovo is Monday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 213% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 119 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.
In summation, the best day to call Lenovo is Monday.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 Lenovo staffs the call center well on Monday.
I have a Lenovo laptop, but I accidentally dropped it, and now the corner of the screen is a bit unhinged. This wouldn't be a problem, but since the Lenovo folds to become a tablet, this tiny flap is causing my screen to think it's been put to sleep. Therefore, if I jiggle the screen the right way, it turns off my computer. This is an obvious problem as my laptop has to sit still while I'm typing; otherwise, it will turn itself off. I basically can't do any work while I'm on the move anymore, so I thought I would call Lenovo to see what they could do for me.
I didn't know if there might be some sort of warranty still good on it since I haven't had it longer than a year or something else that could offset the repair price. If the piece could be replaced, I know it would have to be done by someone who works at Lenovo, so either way, that was the place to start. I expected to be on hold for a while because, between sales and technical support, there are a lot of reasons why people might be calling Lenovo. However, I was very pleasantly surprised as the company has its stuff together.
I dialed the number, and an automated voice assistant greeted me and quickly sorted out why I was calling. It said, "Hello, Thanks for calling Lenovo. Let’s get you to the right place. I have three options for technical service, sales, or customer care. For technical support or warranty questions for a product or service you already own, please press 1. To speak with Lenovo sales for new orders or questions about a product, please press 2. To speak to customer care about an existing order, please press 3." I chose technical support since they would be the ones to provide me with a solution, and then I was told that I had to press 1 for English, which I did.
Then it gave me two options: "If you require technical support for Thinkpad, ThinkCentre, or server products, press 1. Do you need technical support for IdeaPad or the technical center, press 2." I pressed 2, and after a loud dialing, an agent named Roy picked up. Roy had a very thick accent, but he was able to talk about my options. I would have to pay for the repair, but I had options to save me from replacing the laptop.

Information about why customers call Lenovo is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
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, Lenovo provides this option.
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
Lenovo, 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.
Use this link to connect with customer service through Facebook
Some customer service teams, like that of Lenovo, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
Use this link to find customer service help through their website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Lenovo 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.
