Contacting the Support Team

If you need help becoming an authorized user on a Comcast account, consider seeking the help of customer service agents. The best way to contact Comcast is on the phone. It is the fastest support option, and you can speak directly with a customer care agent. They will ask about the details of your problem and give you the most relevant help.

Live chat is the best alternative to phone support. You get the chance to contact a support agent for advice.

If you don't necessarily need to speak with an agent, consider seeking support on Twitter. Since it is a public platform, you can get help fast. On Twitter, you can get help from the support agents and members of the public. If the support agents can't help you, they may suggest that you contact them on the phone.

Seek support on the Comcast help desk before exploring other options. It has lots of targeted tips and issue-specific topics that may address your needs. Most customer service agents find support on the help desk before speaking directly with the support agents.
