In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this LCEC phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.
What are the hours and when should I call?
LCEC operates the call center for this 800-599-2356 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 180 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the LCEC call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this LCEC phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like LCEC staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call LCEC is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 245% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 180 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
