I had an issue updating my Ring Doorbell subscription, so I went online first to see if I could chat with someone. I was a bit shocked that such a modern brand would not offer a live chat option, but with no other choice, I picked up the phone to give them a call.
It was the evening before I had time to deal with the problem, so I called them pretty late, which might have helped me get through quicker. Despite this, the recording told me they have a higher-than-usual call volume, so I might have to wait for a while.
The first menu offered me a way to reset my password and told me to stay on the line for all other inquiries. I got a bit excited because I thought I might get to talk to a person, but a few minutes later, I was listening to another directory. There were five choices that included things such as troubleshooting the Ring, alarm sensors, and questions about billings, but none of them were things that I needed.
I decided to stay on the line, but that didn't help because then I got five more options related to alarm systems and had nothing to do with what I needed. It seemed that the directory map was now headed in a different direction. I ignored the options again and stayed on the line. Now it wanted me to verify my identity, which quickly turned into a problem because I wasn't skilled enough to quickly do what they wanted. I was told I could only verify my identity by using my Ring app or website.
The recording didn't offer much explanation, so I just stayed on the line again and magically, this time, I was connected to a salesperson. When I looked at the phone counter, it took 4 minutes of listening to directories to get to an actual person.
The customer service agent that helped me was clearly outsourced and had a thick accent, but I was able to sort out my problem. She talked through my subscription options and helped explain that if I downgraded my current subscription, I would not receive the same recording bonuses I currently had.
While she was able to help me, I would have still preferred a live chat agent because it would have been easier to understand. Still, in terms of customer service, the experience was okay. I got done with the call within ten minutes and did get the answers I needed. My one word of advice to anyone reading this would be to call later in the night when the lines aren't so busy.
