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 Qwest call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call

The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Qwest 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.

More Qwest Customer Service Contacts
There are of course other ways to contact Qwest customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
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, Qwest provides this option.
Qwest, 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.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Qwest 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.
