# How to Contact Windows Live Hotmail Support

Calling MSN Windows Live Assistance - Hotmail was very difficult because, despite the name, it is clear that Microsoft works hard to avoid providing live support. In fact, during the call, I was told several times to seek help from online support. This defeats the purpose of having a live support number and, frankly, was frustrating. Equally frustrating was the fact that the automated system was very sensitive and would stop if it thought it picked up a word in the background. I quickly realized that I would have to remove it from the speaker, which made calling even less convenient.


While he was sensitive, he was not responsive, which made him even more difficult to deal with. When I first called him, he thanked me for calling Microsoft and then recited the standard message that the call would be monitored and potentially shared. The automated voice message said, "To help us provide you with the best support 1877(698)-1665, I need to know if you are calling as a residential or business user." I said home user.


Then he said he hoped he could help me today and asked me how he could help me. There was an awkward pause and I realized she was waiting for me, so I said "recovering my Hotmail account." She asked me how she could help me with my Hotmail account and I repeated the same thing. It was strange because he didn't tell me to say in a few words what I needed or anything like that. I would just stop talking and the blank space would awkwardly prompt me to say something.


After I said that a second time, she said okay, but then I went through a list of things so fast that I didn't understand what the options were. At the end of the options, there was another awkward pause so I tried saying "Repeat list", but it didn't work.


Instead, after another long pause, he told me that Microsoft support was now online and that I could visit. She repeated the web address a second time and offered me the option to have it texted so I could access it more easily. I said no because I was still waiting to talk to someone and I knew there were options I'd missed before, like account support and forgotten password assistance.


While I was waiting to be directed there, the message simply said, "Okay, thank you and bye." I was a little surprised that it hung up on me like that, but I was also frustrated that after five minutes and two phone calls, I was no closer to receiving live support.
