Toshiba Kundensupport und Vertrieb

People who call the Toshiba 800-457-7777 customer service line expect to get answers to their questions about Toshiba computers. Hardware issues or other concerns may keep the computer from operating smoothly. If a laptop is still under warranty but has problems, a customer might need to return it or find a local service center. In my case, I have a Toshiba computer that I purchased a few years ago, which may be considered obsolete by now. However, I called the customer service number to see if there might be upgrades like drivers that I could download to make the most of my outdated Toshiba laptop.

When I called the number, the automated response system welcomed me to Dynabook Americas. For a moment, I thought I had called the wrong number because the name “Dynabook” made me think I had reached some travel or hotel booking service. After hearing that greeting, I was inclined to hang up, but almost immediately, the voice asked me a question to help me get support from Toshiba.

The voice said if I was calling about a Dynabook laptop or accessory, say “yes,” otherwise say no. My answer was “no,” and the automated response system told me to go to the Toshiba website to get support for that brand. That was the gist of my encounter with the automated voice response system.

Since the purpose of calling the Toshiba customer service number was to get an answer to my Toshiba question, I was curious as to why I reached Dynabook. Upon looking at their website, I learned that Dynabook is now Toshiba Client Solutions Co., Ltd.

When I called this number, I expected to speak to a Toshiba expert who could answer questions to help me extend the use of my older model laptop. What I got was a referral to a website. Although I was disappointed when I could not speak with a customer service associate, I appreciated that the automated response system was straightforward in getting me to a web-based resource that may be helpful. There was no exhaustive list of prompts instructing me to press this or that number, and the system did not ask me for unnecessary personal information.

I still prefer speaking with someone who can listen intently and help me solve problems. I have learned that even when I don’t know the correct questions to ask, a knowledgeable customer service associate can usually help me solve a problem.
