Have You Called SharePoint Support

If you've called SharePoint support you might have noticed quite a long wait time to get to a support engineer. On a daily basis SharePoint is seeing about 110 new incoming calls everyday with an average hold time of 35 minutes long. However some people are holding as long as 2 hours. It all depends on the time during the day in which you call. The hours for phone support are Monday - Friday 5AM - 9PM PST. Early moring (5AM - 7AM PST) is one of the best times to call and late evenings (7PM - 9PM PST) is another. These times don't guarentee no hold time, but there is a good chance that it will be a lot less than mid day. Another alternative to consider is email support. If you go to https://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=assistance and then select the product that you need support for you will be given the support options available to you. One of which will be Email Support. This is a good option if your problem is not business critical.
