In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this GreatCall.com 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?
GreatCall.com operates the call center for this 800-733-6632 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 368 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 GreatCall.com 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 GreatCall.com 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 GreatCall.com 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 GreatCall.com is Thursday.The most busy day to call is Wednesday.Again, this is based on a sample of 368 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 Monday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday.
In summation, the best day to call GreatCall.com is Thursday.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 GreatCall.com staffs the call center well on Thursday.
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.
When calling the GreatCall.com customer service number, the automated message tells you that you've reached Lively, which owns GreatCall. The message also explains that if you've received a notice about your new Jitterbug, it will be shipped to your address on file, and you can hang up.
If you're not calling about that, you can wait a few seconds and get directed to the main menu. At that point, you can ask questions about billing, mobile devices, the app and more. I waited about two minutes before getting connected to a customer service representative, which isn't a very long wait, but the system seemed to think that it was. About halfway through my wait, I got the message saying that all representatives were assisting other callers and my call would be answered in the order received.
After two minutes, I was connected to Kristin, who pleasantly and clearly asked how she could assist me. I told her that we had just purchased a device for my aunt and wanted to get it set up properly so that we could track whether she needed assistance and use the alert system that Lively offers should she have an emergency.
Kristin informed me that both of us would need to have the application on our phones and we'd need to set it up by using the account number that came with her device. I told her I didn't have the account number, as I had only purchased the device. She said that to get anything set up on the phone, I would need the account number and wouldn't be able to do anything without it.
I asked if we would be able to get things set up on the apps themselves once we had the account number, and she said no, we would need to get set up over the phone once we'd gotten the number and there wasn't any way to get set up without calling back and doing so over the phone. At that point, she invited me to call back when I had the number and wished me a pleasant day.
Overall, I felt like this is an incomplete picture of Lively's customer service. While Kristin was certainly helpful and polite, the fact that Lively requires an account number to get anything done meant that I couldn't really get a deeper sense of what their customer service is like when a customer has a real problem.
Based on my brief interactions with Kristin and the automated menu, I feel like GreatCall/Lively would be able to successfully assist with an issue if I were a customer, but I can't say for sure if that would be the case without a deeper dive into a potential problem.
