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 NiSource Inc. below.
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.

What are the hours and when should I call?

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 NiSource Inc. call center opens before trying to call.

The busiest times are when the most people are calling this NiSource Inc. phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling).

When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
