Jul 18, 2026

Wonderfully productive. My service rep, Desmond, was a total professional. Knowledgeable, patient and courteous. He took a floundering homeowner to the internet promise land!

Jul 17, 2026

I have been dealing with stalking on my new business Instagram im getting 3 fake accounts a day and once I block them 2 or 3 more show up an hour later. Ive started to be a little scared over this Carter was very helpful

Jul 15, 2026

Finally, after months of issues with my password they were resolved by clear instructions! Thank you and recommend your service. I will continue til all my apps get new passwords.

Jul 13, 2026

Desmond was amazing! Patient courteous thoughtful and knowledgeable as he helped me solve my problem it took way longer than neither of us expected but it got done!

Jun 25, 2026

We tried for three days to connect printer to my new ASUS laptop. In less than half an hour Eric got it connected and a test page printed. He was efficient, patient, and very knowledgeable.

May 23, 2026

Exceptional! AI assistance was very timely in responding. I was leery at first with the process, but there replies made me a believer and felt comfortable.

May 10, 2026

Richard was very knowledgeable and professional in assisting with my specific situation. He also provided detailed written instructions as to how to move forward ain ensuring everything will work properly at the other end of the country.

Feb 16, 2026

In a very short time, Jesse was able to resolve the difficulty. We were having sharing our Microsoft 365 account. He could not have been a more clear, expeditious source of help!

Dec 19, 2025

Consulted with an attorney. Prompt, thorough, and very helpful. I received much useful clarification on the principal issues that led me to request the consult.

Feb 21, 2026

Return was very kind, knowledgeable and got straight to work. He stayed on the phone with us the whole time while he fixed all our issues. I would definitely recommend this service.

Nov 27, 2025

Tim, the engineer who helped me, is outstanding. He found the problem and explained it in simple terms. He's very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Whatever you're paying him, it's not enough.

Oct 6, 2025

Could not tune in a major tv channel with an over the air indoor antenna. Service tech was able to diagnose problem by ask pointed questions. Solution was simple and easy to replicate.

Jun 27, 2026

Went through online chat trying different options for fix to Aura frame. When that was not successful was directed to further tech support. Heard back with a solution within hours.

Mar 2, 2026

Craig was knowledgeable and very helpful in resolving the problem. I thought I had lost a week's worth of incoming emails, but was able to retrieve them his help.

Jul 14, 2026

I've dealt with numerous people over the past 3 weeks who had issues speaking English, mumbling, apparently locked in a room with 20 other people all talking at the same time, overtly rude folks, a guy who promised replacement of a defective piece of hardware but didn't deliver, and software programs that didn't allow you to change a phone number that totally blocked being able to connect my printer with the Internet. Kevin gave me explicit instructions and a good phone number. The first helpful person I've spoken to - a 10 rating!

Sep 29, 2025

My 'Tech' was Rei. Incredible patience exhibited with this 78 yr old in solving my printer connection problem. Rudimentary computer skills/knowledge on my part, but successful with detailed instructions I could follow. Mile Gracie!

Jul 24, 2026

I had accidentally disconnected internet modem & had no clue how to reconnect. After chatting with a Spectrum bot, I was called by Tim who walked me through what to do & I'm back up & running. My tech savvy has declined over the years so I needed the human touch!

Sep 14, 2025

While the help was fantastic, the tech was well versed and patient. Being 83 years young and not raised during the advanced computer age it gets a little frustrating to deal with some of these issues. My phone should have finished activating itself, but it has not. So i will have to go through all of this again.

Jan 7, 2026

My Canon printer has stopped working and shows a strange pattern of light blinking. The engineer coached me through the trouble shooting. He was patient and polite. After trying everything we could, the problem continued existing. He suggested we going to service center.

May 28, 2026

Clear instructions and patient. I'm 89 years old and checking the modem, plugs etc. took a little time. I give Syed an A+. Very knowledgeable and professional!

Dec 15, 2025

It took more than an hour to get connected with a specialist, as I didn't know I needed to go to my email to verify my contact info, and once there, I learned that I had been charged a non-refundable recurring membership fee in addition to the nominal "join" fee. I might have paid it anyway, but do not like being told I'd only be charged a one-time "join" fee and then having my credit card charged for the much higher membership fee... Be up front with your customers! The specialist was helpful, however, and I may renew my membership if his advice actually works to resolve my problem.

Jul 11, 2026

I could not get the message alert off of my phone, even though there were no messages. Chris walked me through it and was able to get it to clear in just a few minutes. He was so helpful, patient and very nice to work with.

Jul 17, 2026

The tech stayed on it for what seemed like hours. It was probably a good 3 or 4 hours to resolve the issue. Thank you for all your assistance in getting me back up and running again.

May 18, 2026

Mr. Med was knowledgeable and fixed the issue very effectively. He spoke rather quickly so that an old man had some trouble following, and he did not always listen to what we said. But he took over the computer and just loaded the scanner properly. So his technical skills were first rate. I thought the fee was rather high; I trust this is a one-time payment. If someone asked, I would say the service is expensive for a personal computer but the work was done well. While it was probably an easy fix for an experienced technician, it was done accurately and quickly. So we were well satisfied.

Sep 21, 2025

Anthony was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He explained in very clear language, why I had my problems and what to do about them. He gave me both a printed one page PDF checklist and a small printout that will fit on a business card. This will allow me to not only prevent the problem, but if I do make a mistake and get the problem, I will be able to resolve it. I really appreciate Anthony's work... a big help!

Nov 17, 2025

He gave us a lot of good options, and we tried them all but have definitely come to the conclusion that it's not a problem with our computer.Or any issue with anything on our end. It's a problem with angry birds 2. I appreciate that he replied back several times on the text messages to give me extra support after the phone call.Thank you very much

Nov 24, 2025

I started with online chat, which determined I needed to speak to a Tech. I received a phone call almost immediately, and the Tech (Paul) spent 20 minutes with me trying to resolve my issue. Sadly, it could not be resolved, so I'm purchasing a new laptop. But, Paul was very professional and suggested 2 or 3 ways to resolve before we agreed my laptop had reached end of life. Cost was $48 for the 20 minutes.

Sep 3, 2025

The technician took his time and we went over so many areas that he had suggested that could solve my technical issues. And he gave me some valid suggestions that I will be looking in to.

Feb 13, 2026

Frank F. Was very patient and knowledgeable on how to get my brand new HP printer set up. It took some time and Frank performed what seemed like a hundred steps. Some did not work and some did. But in the end it worked! I am so happy and productive now. Frank is a tech God to me. Amen!

Mar 24, 2026

Maytag dryer issue. Was sent to Ask Tech by Maytag chat. Phillip knew the control board on my machine. He quickly answered my question and gave me the number for Repair of the dyer. Thanks!

Feb 13, 2026

Helped me with a scam email. Very satisfied with the service but did not realize it was going to cost $65. I saw the five dollar part only. Not sure I will do this again.

Apr 14, 2026

Well, many know how stressful the situation can be when your phone (electronic brain) does not perform as is "necessary". So, it's so special when your "problem" is addressed with the technical knowledge along with the patient listening and sound advice found by this support service. Many thanks! My "brain" is back!

Dec 23, 2025

My new Pixel 10 died during a Google update (died meaning I could no longer unlock my phone). Ended up doing a factory reset which the tech walked me through.

Jun 24, 2026

For the most part, the tech did a good job, but I had to remind him, after removing unrecognized apps, that my purpose in contacting support was to determine whether or not my Apple account has been hacked. He seemed reasonable sure that it hasn't been, but I didn't get a definite answer. It's entirely possible that he was not in a position to give me one.

May 8, 2026

Dave walked me through what to look for and what to do. My two hotmail sites are accessible again (at least for now!). This time I'm totally satisfied because if the problem surfaces again, I have enough knowledge to try to resolve the issue myself.

Sep 1, 2025

I was getting messages saying my email was unavailable. Michael was super helpful, dug in and cleared out several areas. He helped me understand what the problem was and then took care of it.

Jun 27, 2026

Michael was extremely thorough & knowledgeable about MS Windows, Office, and OneDrive. Very grateful for his help. Honestly didn't think I could reach anyone in person from Microsoft. Very satisfied.

Feb 7, 2026

I was able to resolve 2 technical issues with my printer and security panel battery thanks to Chris Mellon. He was incredibly helpful and so very nice! I'm not really that tech savvy but Chris was pretty patient with me and exceeded my expectations for customer service. Thank you so much for helping me out today!

Locked out of a brand new computer. Jason was smart, well spoken, detailed, very patient, professional and worked us through bitlocker key. Full factory reset and then boom it worked. Great job!

Jul 22, 2026

Yvonne was so patient and precise with her instructions on how to solve my email accounts not synchronizing between devices. It took a long time to rebuild and she stayed with me each step of the way to make sure things were starting to work properly again. Very professional!

Sep 6, 2025

The IT help was very competent and fast--excellent work. My system crashed after a problem with Outlook syncing. A work around has been installed but more cleanup is required.

Jun 19, 2026

I was having problems with the US Postal Service... and my tech actually knew the answer to my issue without research... he sent me in the correct direction immediately.

May 22, 2026

The gentleman I spoke with answered my questions in a way that was simple and easy to understand. And then he guided me through the process to fix my problem. I doubt if it took five minutes. Definitely a great experience.

Jan 29, 2026

Technician was excellent. Solved problem immediately when Dell and Microsoft techs failed. The charge was reasonable. Would have much preferred to be told the charge up front wrther than seeing it pending on my AMEX.

Aug 12, 2026

I really liked having a picture of the person I was talking to. It helped me recognize who they were and made the conversation feel much more personal. When I mentioned that I could see her picture, she also seemed more comfortable and at ease. Overall, I think having a photo improves the interaction and helps build a better connection.

May 7, 2026

Tech support great, but I was charged $70, instead of $5, as link indicated. I called and canceled monthly membership fee. If $65 isn't credited to my credit card, I'm reporting your company to FCC for charging for a monthly service I didn't request.

Feb 7, 2026

I'm 69 yrs young, and the technician solved my problem quickly. My previous phone must have passed on some junk, through Chrome, to my new phone. Verizon couldn't help, sent me to a fix it store, which, they only fix mechanical issues, lenses, etc. I'm glad 1 800 Samsung, lead me you.

Jan 2, 2026

The tech persevered and never gave up, we went over the course of 2 days and the tech appeared very knowledgeable he attempted all he know from what we discussed remotely but it is difficult to find the true answer with having the unit in your hands

Oct 20, 2025

Rea was excellent. Worked hard, sent me several options to try to resolve my issue. I haven't attempted to try them because it's only a firmware update, the printer is working fine, and I don't want to take a chance on a "fix" becoming a new problem.

No products were involved. Just couldn't get My Stuff on Peacock to work. Paul gave me a tip to delete all my Apple TV things and voila, then Peacock worked and I could watch my Alma mater Purdue beat the heck out of Marquette! Yippee! I learned something today, try to do so daily!

Unlocking Lock
December 21, 2025

The problem was the email sent by the tech for directions was in junk file which made following his instructions confusing but he resent directions and walked through the directions. Finally the Lock folder unlocked so I could submit a new password and I can now access my Lock folder under Google photos. My only issue is the Safe Folder under the Google Files folder which won't accept my password, do I follow the same directions for Licker folder. My pending issue is getting reimbursed the $5.00 I was charged and stop the $48.00 monthly charge.
