How to find customer support fast

Get Human is an invaluable resource for finding the contact information you need. Simply go to gethuman.com and type in the name of a company in the search bar. Alternatively, you can select a company from the links on the website’s main page.

You receive winning matches in real-time. Select the brand you’re after from the drop-down results, and you’ll be whisked away to a listing page with all the details you’ll need to get in touch.

Warning: The site is full of intrusive ads, which you should never click on.

After inputting the company you’d like to get in touch with, simply write down the phone number and any other contact info you’ll need to proceed safely.

Luckily, it’s easy to tell which number is the one to use—the big blue one to the left of the screen. You even get the current wait time!

Our best advice: skip the buttons that supposedly prompt a call or chat automatically. Grab a pen and paper and snag the number. You’re officially home-free, with no Google search required. Speaking of which, here are seven things you should never search for.

Which companies are represented on Get Human?

The complete list is impressive — scroll down on the company’s homepage and select All Companies A-Z. There are thousands of them.

Not all of them are Fortune 500 companies (although plenty of the top dogs make an appearance). That’s one of the things that make Get Human such a robust resource for anybody struggling to find a real person to speak to on the other side.
