    @WavHello Hello, what is the best way for me to receive customer service? I have sent two emails, tried to call (call was dropped), and tried Facebook messenger (said I'd get an email within 24 hours but did not). Ordered two sound machines but only received one. Thanks!

  • MomoKnowsBlog Momo Knows (@MomoKnowsBlog) reported

    Had a guy contact me on FB Messenger. He liked my take on a problem a #screenwriter was having. He asked me to read his first 15 pages (they're usually not good). I waited til I was feelin' no pain from some #CoorsBanquet to read. Surprise! His work was great. #screenwriting

    @enjoyGLOBE I've been asking for help in your fb messenger app. And nothing. Zilch. Spend more on your help centers than on mediocre advertising.

  • TheMileHighCub Mile High Cub 🐻 (@TheMileHighCub) reported

    Trying to chat with @bose customer service on fb messenger and it's like i'm talking with someone who's three years in the past. It's taking forever.

  • haychex H 💙 (@haychex) reported

    @xpoleint I messaged via Facebook messenger but not received a response please can you help me ?

  • NatMakuNat Nate Cincua (@NatMakuNat) reported

    @PLDT_Cares Hi, I need assistance regarding my internet issue. I am currently having no LOS light and occasionally it turns blinking red for a few minutes then goes back to no light. I have already created a ticket through your fb messenger and I wanted to do a followup.

  • ploogle Jordan Carroll (@ploogle) reported

    Facebook Messenger's web version seems to have gotten absolutely terrible all of a sudden now that they're trying to push a desktop version. Like, actively borderline-unusable. Takes 5-10 seconds to switch conversations, massive lag on everything and frequent glitches.

    @CATBOYTWELVE @sapphicbill 👥 MSN Messenger, later rebranded as Windows Live Messenger, was a cross-platform instant messaging client developed by Microsoft. It connected to the Microsoft Messenger service while also having compatibility with Yahoo! Messenger and Facebook Messenger.

  • monicabosse6 monica bosse (@monicabosse6) reported

    Hey who knows how to change the Notification sound on Facebook messenger please help the sound that it is very annoying!!!

  • mrsimonevans Simon Evans (@mrsimonevans) reported

    @HPUK why has it become so difficult to arrange a return under warranty with hp UK. All I get is a virtual agent and Facebook messenger service to a US site? I have had a hp spectre x360 for almost 3 years and have had to return it 6 times due to various hardware issues.

  • AfropolitanW AfropolitanWanderer (@AfropolitanW) reported

    @MRPfashion please can you advise the best way to reach you. Tried all options including number on your App for online orders, whatsupp no also not working. We have emailed, used FB messenger and called with no answers. Advise how to reach you it's urgent.

  • GraceyOConnell Gracey O'Connell ⚡️ (@GraceyOConnell) reported

    @FergaloSanchez Okay you’re almost 30 and using Snapchat and FB messenger as legitimate forms of contact THAT is your problem sir

  • Murrel87 Kerry-Lee Gurr (@Murrel87) reported

    @Clicks_SA hello, I need some help please. I've sent an email and an inbox on fb messenger and nothing is getting resolved. Please can someone assist me?

  • cmass81 Caroline Masson (@cmass81) reported

    @noseyrosey30 @TweetCalzedonia Good luck! I placed my order on 27th December and still haven’t received it! The customer service is terrible... don’t expect a reply on here, via email or via phone. Try Instagram DM or FB messenger xx

  • MrBastounis Orestis Bastounis (@MrBastounis) reported

    Lockdown problem. A friend messaged me and I forgot to reply. Was it an SMS? WhatsApp? Signal? Facebook Messenger? Carrier Pidgeon?

  • BarbaraPigott5 Barbara Pigott (@BarbaraPigott5) reported

    @SkyHelpIreland That’s all fine and well and I’m glad it’s resolved,however not being able to speak to someone directly and having an automated service telling you to “go online” or use FB messenger to help get the issue resolved is imo just downright silly when the issue is NO internet!

  • chrisno51 Chris G. (@chrisno51) reported

    @freeWisp Hey again. Finally my facebook messenger just as of a few minutes ago started opening up and working right again. No more redirects. I didn't do anything to fix it, they just got it working again. Was out for me from the 21st to just earlier today. I hope it is for you soon.

  • harshaacharya_ Harsha Acharya (@harshaacharya_) reported

    @kreditbee I've contacted via Facebook Messenger, email, twitter Dm's everything but there is no proper response from your side. Atleast please let me know if the server problem cannot be fixed rather than giving false hopes. This is really unprofessional, never expected this

  • __ryank Ryan Kent (@__ryank) reported

    @relu84 @stickermule FB messenger is even worse than WhatsApp! And also, it's a tragic IM service, such a mess.

  • TheReedyBear Reed (@TheReedyBear) reported

    @Chature_ @signalapp I have that problem too! (When receiving) It can be quite frustrating, but i haven't cared enough to make a bug report. I do quite like having cute cute stickers & really miss the large selection i had on fb Messenger (which i seldom use nowadays)

  • Am_Mirul_Syafiq 明瑞 (@Am_Mirul_Syafiq) reported from Kampong Baharu, Johor

    @Celcom how is it that your 1111 customer service line is experiencing high call volume and that both your twitter account and fb messenger are not responsive? Slow just like your internet line.

    @acccent @noneuclideangrl Yeah. I’m down to maybe 4 people I “need” FB messenger to talk to. One day that’ll be 0.

    @XiaomiIndia @MIUI_India @miuirom K20 pro running MIUI 12.0.4 Popup camera comes out during whatsapp video call not happening with Facebook Messenger kindly release a quick patch to this problem

  • bgoncal2 Bruno Pantaleão (@bgoncal2) reported

    @TMobile_NL @tmobile_webcare And with this tweet + 20 minutes trying to reach the customer service by phone + facebook messenger message I consider that my 1 month previous notice has already started, I don't wanna hear in february "you will have to pay March"

  • bb6xt Abraham Yusuf (@bb6xt) reported

    @iamtoystars @Samuel_NET I just go to FB to read posts and watch funny videos. Friends & family will just message you because you're online. I don't have FB messenger (don't want it) so it is tedious for me to login via browser just to see "hi". It'd seem rude if you don't reply so just hide.

  • timerube Dirk Fuckner 😳 (@timerube) reported

    if fb messenger got rid of the feature where you can hold down an emoji button to make it blow up like a balloon i would probably have to end my life
