Facebook does not offer a 24/7 live customer support line. Any phone number listed (like 650‑543‑4800) leads only to a recorded message, not to a live agent. Here’s what you should know:

📞 Commonly cited Facebook/Meta phone numbers:

650‑543‑4800 – the most frequently mentioned “customer service” number, but it connects to Meta’s corporate directory and plays a recorded message directing you to the online Help Center.

☎️ How phone support actually works:
-
These numbers typically do not connect you with a live representative; they’re automated or redirect you to the Help Center.
-
Meta officially states they don’t provide phone support, directing users instead to their self-serve Help Center and online support forms .
🛠️ Real ways to get support:
-
Facebook Help Center (via web or app):
-
Log in, go to Help & Support → Help Center, or
-
Choose Report a Problem within the app.
Responses can take 48–72 hours, and in select cases (e.g., business/ads accounts), you may be offered a live chat via Messenger.
-
-
Business/Ads accounts may have access to live-chat support through the Facebook Business Help Center.
-
Email contacts (often shared by callers):
-
support@fb.com – a general support inbox
-
Other addresses like legal@fb.com, records@fb.com, etc., noted in user-shared logs.

✅ Quick summary:
Method | Availability | Notes |
---|---|---|
📞 Phone (650‑543‑4800) | 24/7, automated | No live agent |
💬 Live chat | Business/ads only | Via Help Center |
🧰 Help Center app/web | 24/7 self-serve | Best route for personal accounts |
📧 support@fb.com | Email support | Only occasional replies |
🔍 Recommendation:
For personal account issues, your best bet is:
-
Use Help Center in app or browser.
-
If eligible (e.g., ad account), try live chat.
-
Optionally email support@fb.com.
-
Be prepared to wait—responses take time.
🔹 If you’re having trouble logging in (e.g., hacked account), specific recovery forms are available instead of phone support.
Bottom line: There is no 24/7 live phone support at Facebook/Meta. The widely-circulated number (650‑543‑4800) is automated only.
