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

Netflix operates the call center for this 866-579-7172 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Friday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 829 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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 Netflix 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 Netflix 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 Netflix is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 85% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 829 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 Friday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday, which is 760% 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.

The best time to call

In summation, the best day to call Netflix is Friday. 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 Netflix staffs up on Friday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
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.

Calling this Netflix Customer Number

Jeff Whelpley is the editor / author responsible for this content.

Calling this number for Netflix is an easy way to get connected with a customer service representative. When I dialed, I got a confirmation that I had reached Netflix and a message to check the Netflix website to enter an access code for the representative. I was then told to enter the access code so that the representative could enter my information and assist me faster.

As I did not have an account, I did not input any access code. Instead, I waited on hold for a representative, which the system allowed me to do. After a wait of less than five minutes, I was connected with a representative, who told me that she needed an email in order to contact me if things got disconnected or if she needed to send me information.

I provided the email I used for my Netflix account and asked her if there was any way to check which shows would be coming up on Netflix in the near future. She said that I could do that, but I'd only be able to do it if I was a subscribed customer. She told me that in order to find out which shows were coming up, I would need to log into my account and check out some of the available titles that Netflix offered.

She further explained that if I did, I could take a look at the respective trailers for those shows and find out when each was planned to return to Netflix. I thanked her for the information and hung up there, as I no longer had any questions about this interaction.

Overall, I found this interaction to be fairly easy to handle, although it was a bit simplistic. I probably would have received more of a full interaction if I'd actually had a problem for the representative to solve, but she did seem interested in at least giving me some of the basic information while pushing me toward returning to Netflix.

I didn't like that she was persistent about getting my email, as I don't think getting that information is necessary unless someone has a specific problem that requires personal interaction. I understand the need to follow company policy, but that seemed a bit unnecessary. However, most people who call this number will have an account established with Netflix, so while I wasn't a fan of it, I understand why it's in place.

I found the representative to be knowledgeable without being pushy, and I thought she was professional from start to finish. Based on this call, I would use this number if I were a genuine customer calling Netflix for assistance with my account.
