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 Acer below.

Let us call and talk to Acer for you

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.

We can get a live person on the line for you

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 Acer phone number to document the phone system.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Calling this Acer number should go right to a real human being
Below are some clips we've found from Acer's phone menus and tips that help give an idea of what you will encounter when you call. We've highlighted why they are important as well:

They may ask you to enter information with the dial pad

"Please say sales or press one. If you are interested in help purchasing a new product, in order for me to connect you to technical support, what please say ready to enter your Please say wait if you need time to locate your SNID."

In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this Acer 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?

Acer operates the call center for this 866-695-2237 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 388 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

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 Acer 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 Acer 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 Acer 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 Acer is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 60% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 388 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 Tuesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Acer

In summation, the best day to call Acer 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 Acer 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.

Why Customers Call Acer

If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Acer, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.

What is the return policy for Acer products?

Acer offers a straightforward and customer-friendly return policy for its products. If you are not fully satisfied with your Acer product, you may return it within 14 days from the date of purchase. The return must be accompanied by the original sales receipt and all the accessories included in the original packaging. The product should be in its original condition and free from any damage or signs of use. Acer reserves the right to assess the product's condition upon return. Once the return is approved, the customer will be eligible for a full refund, excluding any shipping or handling fees. For further details and to initiate a return request, customers can contact Acer's customer support team or browse their website for a step-by-step guide on the return process.

What warranty do Acer products come with?

Acer products are backed by a standard limited warranty that varies depending on the product type. Most Acer laptops, desktops, and monitors come with a one-year warranty, covering any manufacturing defects or faulty components. Additionally, many Acer products offer extended warranties that can be purchased separately, providing customers with up to three years of coverage. It's important to note that warranties may differ based on the region and the specific model. To ensure accurate information about the warranty for a particular product, customers are advised to refer to the Acer website or contact customer support. Acer is dedicated to providing reliable products and ensuring customer satisfaction through its warranty options.

What are the recommended system requirements for Acer gaming laptops?

The recommended system requirements for Acer gaming laptops vary depending on the specific model and intended use. However, as a general guideline, Acer recommends a minimum of an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor, with at least 8GB of RAM and a dedicated graphics card with 4GB VRAM for smooth gaming performance. Additionally, a Full HD display is recommended for immersive visuals, while storage options like SSDs or hybrid drives are preferable for faster loading times. For high-end gaming experiences, Acer suggests opting for models with more powerful processors (such as Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7), larger RAM capacities, and advanced graphics cards with more VRAM. These requirements ensure that Acer gaming laptops deliver optimal performance and graphics for an enjoyable gaming experience.

More Acer Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact Acer customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

Acer Customer Service Live 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, Acer provides this option.

Acer Customer Email Addresses

Customer service email address
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Acer will reply our your email.

Acer Customer Help Desk / Web Support

acer.custhelp.com - Customer Service
Customer service web support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Acer 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.
