Sometimes you need the help of a Netflix customer service agent. Fortunately, it's not that tough to track one down — using the steps below, I was able to chat with a representative in under I got a real live person on the other end of the line in less than a minute.
While I almost thought Kevin from Netflix could have been a robot, when I asked him what he had for dinner last night, his answer — chicken nuggets on rice — was so unique that I knew I was talking to a human. Unfortunately, don't think that reaching Kevin in a short amount of support is as easy as just finding the Netflix customer service number (which we have below).

Getting on the phone with a real human who can answer your questions, help you with your account and provide other Netflix customer services is a multi-step approach. And you can get a rep much faster if you know where to look.
Customer support agents can help you resolve billing questions, deduce why Netflix isn't working on your device, or even help you reset your password. They can help you cancel your Netflix subscription, too, but I bet they'll be more likely to talk you into keeping it.
How to get Netflix customer service now
1. Open Netflix.com (opens in new tab) and click Sign In.

And that, is how you get a Netflix customer service representative on the line. It worked for me, and I'm sure it will work for you. You may have a slightly longer wait than I did, though, as I called at 9:30 a.m ET, when the western half of the country was just waking up.
Once you've resolved this issue, you can get back to streaming the best Netflix shows. We've also got a guide for how to sign up for Netflix, one for parents trying to find the best family movies on Netflix, and another explaining how to change your Netflix password.
