How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?
Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Fortune below.
Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.
That same, free CallHelpdesk Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
CallHelpdesk researchers routinely call this Fortune phone number to document the phone system.
Here is how our research team describes the way the Fortune phone system greets you: To order a new subscription or gift, say "I want to order" or enter your 10-digit account number. Alternatively, you can say "I don't have it."
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Say, "I can't find it." Next, say, "Your last name."
What are the hours and when should I call?
Fortune operates the call center for this 800-621-8000 phone number Mon-Fri 7am-9:30pm, Sat 8am-6pm CT. The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 46 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
Call when they- and you- are open
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, you can also schedule the call with Fortune at a time when they are open and when it works for you. We will confirm you are ready before placing the call, just in case. 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 Fortune 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 Fortune 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 Fortune is Wednesday. The most busy day to call is Monday. Again, this is based on a sample of 46 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.
The best time to call Fortune
In summation, the best day to call Fortune is Wednesday. In this case, it's a no-brainer. Wednesday is not only the least busy day for calling this Fortune number, but it is also the day with the shortest hold times.
