About CustomerServiceNumbers.com
Founded in 2004, CustomerServiceNumbers.com is a consumer-focused platform created to document real customer service experiences over time. The site began during the early days of online consumer advocacy, when many customers struggled to get meaningful help from large companies.
CustomerServiceNumbers.com exists to give consumers a place to share what actually happened when they tried to get help — whether the outcome was positive, negative, or unresolved. These shared experiences help reveal patterns in customer support, highlight recurring issues, and recognize companies when service is handled well.
How the Site Started
The idea for CustomerServiceNumbers.com grew out of widespread frustration with poor customer service experiences in the early 2000s. At the time, reaching a real person for help was often difficult, and customer complaints frequently went unheard.
The site’s early focus on documenting customer service issues was covered by Fast Company in 2004, which highlighted how consumer frustration with companies like AOL helped inspire the platform.

A Record of Real Experiences
Customer service interactions are often confusing, time-consuming, or frustrating. Many of these experiences disappear once the issue is resolved or abandoned. CustomerServiceNumbers.com preserves these stories so they can be referenced, understood, and learned from over time.
Some reports on this site date back many years. They remain available because historical customer feedback still has value, especially when similar problems continue to affect consumers today.
Not a Directory or an Affiliated Service
CustomerServiceNumbers.com is not a phone-number directory and is not affiliated with the companies listed on the site.
Any contact information that appears exists only to provide context around a reported customer service experience.
The site does not route calls, sell leads, or act as a customer support channel for businesses.
Giving Consumers a Voice
In addition to preserving past experiences, CustomerServiceNumbers.com allows users to share feedback in their own words. Visitors may post complaints, praise, or general observations about their interactions with customer service.
By sharing honest experiences, consumers help others set expectations and make more informed decisions while contributing to a broader understanding of how customer service is delivered.
Our Commitment
CustomerServiceNumbers.com maintains a consumer-first perspective. The site does not remove reports simply because they are critical, nor does it promote companies through paid placements or partnerships.
Our goal is to preserve an open, historical record of customer service experiences — one that reflects both successes and failures — so consumer voices remain visible over time.
