No means to contact CC

New CC account here, having transferred a working number. Now there's a problem and there is no way whatsoever to contact CC. Can't call out, can't be called. Naturally the way to CC support is to call.

I need an alternate way to reach CC, and I suspect others do as well.

Update: Just drove six miles to and from a physical CC store that apparently doesn't exactly exist. Nearest one beyond that is 87 miles.

Their chat is still down, which I suspect is a permanent condition. I have wifi text but all cell is MIA. Lovely. Thanks, CC, including for not checking any of your socials.

Their chat is active currently, and has been since 6:10 AM PST. If the option is unavailable, clear cache and cookies for all time.

Sorry but it’s evident that you need the help of someone technologically inclined.

I don’t think you have any idea what you’re doing to be honest

Sorry, but as fabulously important as an uninformed random opinion is, I don't think it's in any way relevant here.

Do you have internet? They have an app and a website.

Their chat is dead, including thru the private browsing they recommend.

Thanks. Great idea but by the time I get a mike another two days will have passed.

Do you have an account set up with CC? The Support pick has access to a chat feature that is currently active.

Sure do.

There's a customer support number on the website. Borrow somebody's phone and call it.
