Adobe telephone support DOES NOT ANSWER 4 attempts 40 minutes wasted

[lenav98692257]

Ome has to press several options and lands then ion a digital spot with broken digital loud music and once in so many minutes the promise that someone real will come
This does NOT happen
I tried all possible options
I have a simple question that is NOT solved by the customer interfaces a bout a renewal of an account that expires tomorrow
There is NO option to be seen with an email address

Why such a big firm is not able to have a human custom support

Why this digital Kafka labyrint where one gets at the same contact info ending in what I said above...

Probably because they are closed?

Not sure what support you are calling, but I don't think they have 24 hour support.

I called earky afternoon Amsterdam time... I was connected, did press all the options and ended up with a message that I was going to be connected to a help desk person... then came the broken digital music, then the message repeated...
Just a complete failure...

The online chat is always UNAVAILABLE

I am going to have someone follow up with you from Adobe.

[lenav98692257]

now I have been called back... by a real person who supplied me with the information that should have been on the page about hwo to renew a student suscription...

Now I want to erase ththe message... as I geive (not thinking enough) a full eamil address in the original post

I see NO option...

Anybody who knows how to erase a message?

ADOBE should have an option to remove a message....

tHope someone knows how to erase this sequence...

[jbm007]

No email address appears in your first post.

You should be fine.

I can delete responses to post but not the original post without deleting the entire thread.

I am glad someone was able to help you.

Yeah I've been having this issue for the last 2 hours. So unprofessional.

I had the same crackled music while on hold for over 30 minutes. I cant believe how they try to make it so dificult for you to get help.

[Chriscotechno]

I just had that crackled music for 16 minutes, then they hung up. I have NEVER got through to Adobe in less than 15 minutes. This is clearly deliberate and shameful business practice. 

I am looking for products to replace the Adobe ones I feel forced to use. Capture One is a big improvement on Lightroom in many areas, and it doesn't have to be subscription. I wish I could find a good Photoshop alternative, my copy won't save layered files and Adobe doesn't want to help me. They just dump my problems on "the community".

[suek30984967]

Same thing has happened to me.....unexcusable. I have been on hold twice now today for an hour. So where does my money go? I am totally disgusted with Adobe. I even tried the chat line and it was so robot -tized coulnd't get anyone there either. Adodbe us startubg to suck.

This is a public forum, not Adobe support. Users, including the ACPs and MVPs, can't provide support for account, subscription, billing, download, or product activation issues. Support for those issues requires an Adobe employee.
