Whom to Contact:


A. Your Carrier:

Contact your Carrier, as they are the one who provide all of these services.



B. Apple Support:

If all else fails, contact Apple Support.

Apple’s Contact Information:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due do lots of calls. And that makes sense, because with the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get thorough :)
