This is where
So they’re one step ahead when it comes to this compared to their competition.
Email support –
I’d personally prefer to use the live chat support but this works better if you have bigger issues that you want to explain in detail.
Phone support –
Afterwards they simply ask you to leave a message and they promise to call you back.
So you can’t really expect this to be faster than the live chat and the email support.
It’s just a different way to contact them but you will still need to wait for them to reach back.
