Called one time for work and now my phone number is automatically redirected whether for support for work or personal

Question

I called the 7676 support # one time for work, said I was with a business account, and now when I call any Microsoft support number, I get an automated message that "commercial surface support" has moved online and my call is dropped... How can I fix this???

Answer 1

if you dial *67 before a US phone number, it should block caller ID and your number will show as private. if this IS a personal Surface on a personal account, phone support is available, but many people report difficulty reaching someone. That said, they really want you to initiate a call BACK using the web https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/customer-service-phone-numbers-c0389ade-5640-e588-8b0e-28de8afeb3f2

Answer 2

Suggestions:

The quickest workaround is to call from a different phone. Since the flag is tied to your specific number, a clean number won't trigger the redirect.

Visit support.microsoft.com

You'll want to reach a human through chat or online support and specifically explain that your personal number was incorrectly associated with a commercial/business account. Ask them to remove or disassociate your phone number from that business profile. You can start at:

support.microsoft.com → choose a personal product → select "Contact Support" → use the chat option

Answer 3

It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with being redirected to automated support for your Microsoft Surface device after calling a support number previously. To resolve this, you can try the following steps:

1. Visit the Surface Support Portal: Since commercial support has moved online, you can access the Surface Support Portal to create service requests and track the status of your device repairs. This portal is designed for business and education customers.
2. Use the Admin Center: If you have a Microsoft 365 business account, log in to the admin center at https://admin.cloud.microsoft. From there, you can access help and support options.
3. Contact Microsoft Support: If you are still unable to get through, consider reaching out to Microsoft support through their official channels. Ensure you have your account details ready for verification.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to wait for a while before trying to call again or reach out through the online support options available.
