    @IBKR Please, your customer service has problems, minutes, almost hours waiting in the chat, send a ticket and hours without response for an inconvenience with a withdrawal. Ticket T957094. Please your support...

  • Frankan54902403 Frank and Beans (@Frankan54902403) reported

    @IBKR I am a client with a key services account and am not able to get TWS to connect. I called and got put on eternal hold even though I was told this was a phone number with better support. Disappointed.

  • JackTinker1 Jack Tinker (@JackTinker1) reported

    @IBKR I don’t know who ‘chooser broker’ is but your platform is terrible for day trading IMO. Very hard to navigate and overpriced commissions for low priced stocks because you charge per share

  • QuikQuak iHarsh (@QuikQuak) reported

    @WelcomeWellness @IBKR I asked IKBR a few questions on this months ago, but no reply. To them Twitter is an advertising platform, not something to help/interact with customers.

  • _mumbling_me The Portfolio Trader (@_mumbling_me) reported

    @jameswhelan42 @Telstra @IBKR If it's a mobile service, don't they have a "view your call logs and charges" option when you login to your account online? I am with a small provider #telechoice they have that option on the online account.
