What are the hours and when should I call?

Netscape operates the call center for this 866-541-8233 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 202 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 Netscape 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 Netscape 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 Netscape 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 Netscape is Monday. The most busy day to call is Friday. Again, this is based on a sample of 202 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 Thursday.
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 Netscape

In summation, the best day to call Netscape 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 Netscape staffs the call center well on Monday.

Calling this Netscape Customer Number

When I called this Netscape Member Services number, I was immediately greeted with a recording that asked me how I would like to be helped. The voice-activated system didn't seem to recognize my request for information about becoming a customer. Instead, it gave me a few options to direct my call. 

It seems that this line is for people who are already customers of Netscape. I was given the option to get technical support, find help with a billing or account issue, or cancel a service. You can also change your Netscape internet plan or get more information about it by calling this number. The menu didn't provide me with a way to become a customer and didn't recognize my request to do so. You'll need to call a different number if you're looking to do this. 

If you call after hours, you'll be asked to call back between business hours, which are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday. There's no way to leave a message for a representative, and I wasn't notified about a call-back service that I could sign up for when the call center opens. 

After the system didn't recognize my request, I was told to stay on the line to speak to an agent. The recording let me know that my call would be recorded to ensure quality. I wasn't provided a way to reconnect if my call was dropped without warning. 

After about 20 minutes of waiting, a representative answered my call. They sounded lively and cordial when they picked up the phone. Immediately, I was asked for my phone number or account number. When I explained that I didn't have an account with Netscape and wanted to learn about my options, the agent let me know that I would need to be connected with a different department. They did so happily, but I had to wait another 15 minutes for the next agent to answer my call. 

This new agent was also friendly. They spoke clearly and provided quick answers when I asked about Netscape's plans and pricing. They were well-informed about service areas and seemed to be providing answers without a script. I also asked about promotions, although I was informed that there were none available. However, the advice they provided was easy to follow. Ultimately, although the representative answered all my questions in only about five minutes, I spent around 40 minutes on the line, most of which was waiting. 

Christian has been writing about long hold times and customer service call center experiences since 2010. He's been featured in Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal and the Boston Globe.
