How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?

But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for AT&T Tech Support 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?
AT&T Tech Support operates the call center for this 877-737-2478 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 695 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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 AT&T Tech Support 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 AT&T Tech Support 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 AT&T Tech Support 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 AT&T Tech Support is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 62% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 695 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 Tuesday.
In summation, the best day to call AT&T Tech Support 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 AT&T Tech Support staffs up on Friday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Calling AT&T was a fairly straightforward task, and I only spent few minutes on the phone and a few minutes off the phone waiting for a callback. Therefore, I'd certainly use the customer repair number again if I had a problem, although it might be preferable if I didn't have any! Usually, when I have a problem with my service I like to go down to my nearest AT&T shop, but since this problem was with my modem I didn't know if that was an option or not.
Anyhow, when I called, the recorded message said, "Thank you for calling the AT&T Repair Center" and asked me to press 1 for English. The standard message told me that all calls are recorded for quality, then asked me, "What's the issue you're calling about?" I answered, "Problems with my modem" and waited for a second. The voice assistant responded, "Please tell me more about the issue you're having with your modem." I wasn't sure what to say, so I tried saying "It won't connect consistently" which seemed to work because that got me to the next step.
Then, the voice assistant told me it could see the number I was calling from, and asked if this was the same number that I was calling about. I told them that it was. It then said, "One minute while I handle this." That was actually nice because the team was able to access my account so I didn't have to handle that when I got through to the customer service representative. They did however ask me for the passcode to the account so there was a second layer of security which I also appreciated.
Next, it took me to a hold line but told me that there would be a wait, and if I preferred it could offer me a callback. The callback option would save my place in line. It told me the wait time would be about 6 to 7 minutes, and it was up to me if I wanted to stay on the line or not. The wait time wasn't bad so I just stayed on the line, but it's a nice option if there's a long wait time. Someone answered after about 6 minutes and they were very helpful and clear. They walked me through some troubleshooting steps which unfortunately didn't work but set me up for a replacement which should solve the issue.
