Why isn't telephone support free?

Telephone support is the least efficient method for delivering and receiving assistance, requiring longer wait times, limited hours, more intensive resources. The $20 charge ensures that high-quality support is given over the phone while keeping wait times as short as possible.

The eService Center, on the other hand, has reduced wait times around-the-clock assistance with our Online case submission using the Ask-a-Question option and free live chat. In addition, online chat support include a record of the communications for future reference.
