Support for '8x8 Work' is a nightmare
Paying customers of"8x8 Work" cannot call their main number and get a person on the phone for Support. Instead, after a lengthy message, caller is re-directed to AI Chat. And then AI-Chat, after asking all about the problem, re-directs the call a second to "Live Agent" chat - Who asks all of the same questions all over again.
And then when I ask the chat agent who works for 8x8 (a phone company) if I should put "011" (the international calling prefix in the U.S.) in front of the country code, chat agent responds he is not sure what "011" is. The technical support agent for this phone company cannot even answer a basic question about what international calling prefix I should use.
It has been over an hour and I still cannot find a way to talk to a live support agent at 8x8. Just useless AI and human chatbots. (edited for clarity). I pay a lot of money for this business phone service.

Appalling service
Appalling service, Works sporadically. Not clear about costings. Never come back to customer service issues. Recommended to me by my IT support company - real disappointment. Actually damaging my business with the poor service.

Extremely Poor Customer Service
We have been a loyal 8x8 customer for several years, but my recent experience with their account manager was unacceptable. I called to clarify some charges and to request an exception to a contract term, and instead of receiving help, I was met with a rude and dismissive attitude. The representative would not even allow me to finish explaining my request and spoke to me in a condescending manner.
After so many years as a customer, I expected respect and a willingness to resolve questions. This experience made it clear that 8x8 does not value its clients, so we have decided not to renew our contract when it expires next year.
If you value good service and professional support, think twice before working with 8x8.

Worst company I’ve ever used they…
Worst company I’ve ever used they turned all my phone lines to go straight to answerphone for nearly a week costing me thousands of pounds£ followed by when I called them up to get it back to normal for 6 hours on the phone as no one had a clue what they were talking about you could tell they were reading from a script or something to then finding it the call actually cost me 490£ this one one of the 3 issues I had with them.. absolute joke

Think twice
8x8 is great when you sign up for their service. I had no issues with the service until I tried to close the account due to closing my business and retiring. I've contacted them 3 times and was told the "cancelation" team would reach out to me. No contact.
