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 HP below.

Let us call and talk to HP 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.

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 HP phone number to document the phone system.
Here is how our research team describes the way the HP phone system greets you: Tech support, press 1. Service locations, press 2. Product information or purchase, press 3. Find someone at HP, press 4.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Listen to the prompts and you will get someone who speaks English.
Below are some clips we've found from HP'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:

What are the hours and when should I call?

HP operates the call center for this 800-752-0900 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 3,092 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 HP 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 HP 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 HP 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 HP is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 94% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 3,092 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 Thursday, which is 596% longer than the minimum. As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
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 HP

In summation, the best day to call HP is Monday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that HP staffs up on Monday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.

Calling this HP Customer Number

I purchased an HP printer because I wanted to take advantage of the HP Instant Ink program. My Instant Ink is not arriving as it should, and I suspect the problem is with my printer. I don't think it sends the information to my laptop correctly. However, I'm not sure how this process works, so I tried to call HP to get help. At first, I was hopeful because they mentioned the Instant Ink program when I called, but before long, I just started running in circles. 

HP is a big company that produces a lot of laptops and printers, so I chose to call while commuting to work to make the best use of my time. However, it didn't end up working in my favor. Since I wasn't at home, I couldn't get the automated assistant the information that it needed, and it seems that the assistant doesn't have much flexibility when you can't meet its demands. This is one way automated systems go wrong because if I could've been transferred to someone, I could've explained the situation. Since I couldn't, I got stuck in the following loop until I hung up. When I called, a recorded message said, "Thank you for calling the HP pre-sale calls center. For technical support, press 1. For service locations, press 2. For production information or purchases, press 3.To find someone at HP, press 4." I chose option 1, leading me to another automated message that said, "Please hold while your call is routed. Thank you for calling HP. Your call may be monitored or recorded for quality purchases. Hi, I'm an automated system connecting you to an agent. You can speak to me in short sentences."

I responded, "Talk to someone about HP Ink," and she said, "I'm looking up your records; this may take a few seconds. We can't find an open case matching the phone you are calling from. If you have an alternate phone number to use, please say yes or no." I said no, and then it asked if I was calling about a printer or a laptop. Then I asked if I had the serial number, to which I responded that it was not because I was driving. It launched into a description of where I would find the number and then told me to press one if I located the serial number. I tried talking, but nothing happened, and I was sent to hold music. So then, finally, I pressed one and tried saying, "I don't have it." 

It told me, "For best results, please say your serial number." So this time, I said, "Connect me to an agent," but it kept saying, please say your serial number. It looped around until we ended up back at the question about what device I needed help with, and I finally just gave up. You should be able to get to customer service if you need it.

More HP Customer Service Contacts

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

HP Customer Service Live Chat

support.hp.com - Technical Support
Select your product for access to Live Chat with a support agent. For commercial products.
hp.com - Customer Service
Fill out the form for online chat. For Consumer products.
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, HP provides this option.

HP Customer Email Addresses

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 HP will reply our your email.

HP Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)

@HPSupport - Technical Support
HP's Twitter Ambassador
HP, 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.

HP Customer Service on Facebook / Messenger

facebook.com/HP - Customer Service
Connect with customer service at the company Facebook page
Some customer service teams, like that of HP, 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.

HP Customer Help Desk / Web Support

hp.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- HP 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.
