Calling Dutch Support from abroad

Dear Lenovo forum,
I experience a serious issue of the built-in touch-screen monitor of my IdeaPad Yoga 13'' (almost black with sometimes vertical lines related to the colours of the image supposed to be displayed. I believe that the issue is on the built-in display because I can still access to my system connecting an external monitor, which shows that all the rest is perfectly functional).
I bought the laptop in the Netherlands on the Dutch Lenovo website, so I am trying to contact the Dutch support center. However in this period I am in Germany during almost all working days and I cannot call the special 0900-* number.
My question is therefore how to contact the support center from abroad.
I sent an email using the web interface but it seems to me that the method is slower and I cannot reply to the answer that I receive (or at least I got the first answer within 1 day but my reply to it is still answered).
Thanks a lotfor your clarification.
Best regards,
Matteo

You could use the Brazil phone line and thenn tell Apple that you are from Ireland. find Brazil on the table and call the number. Couldn't be easier. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • How to call German Support from Asia to reset security question?

    Dear Apple Support,
    my dealer for my very first MAC computer  tried to install software and update OS to prepare notebook for "reday to use"status.
    It turned out that Apple has no service access to allow dealer to install and register software on customer behalf.
    So I needed to give him full access to my account.
    Since I'm new in this Apple things I was scared because with other OS I never ever had that requierement.
    But I already confirmed my MAC order so I could not cancle and step away from Apple.
    So I tried to process this request as save as possible. I removed all credit from account and gave a temporary password.
    I also tried to set security question to temporary values for my dealers access.
    But here something went wrong. So I ended up with obiviously unknow security question answers what blocks the access.
    The instructions on the screen and some screenshots in the change settings iinstruction show different (outdated) forms.
    Also the alternative approach with alternative email was not working.
    Why is it not possibel to forward user request for this reset request automatically to relevant support?
    I found also that the German support can't be called from abroad.
    Why is this not mentioned in list of international phone numbers?
    For some areas there is such a note but not for the German number!
    Finally I raised a case request to call back under my number, but Apple does not allow to change the country code.
    Because that way I had no chance,  I ask my dealer to assist and he called Apple support in Germany, but as they found out that he was acting on my behalf they kicked him out too times without further help.
    That was the moment I really regret that I spend now so much money for buying an Apple thing.
    I immediately cancle the Apple Care policy. Why should I pay for somthing if not even basic support is reliable.
    Apples does really good marketing, but in reality on second view when in real touch with Apple service it looks very poor.
    From user interface over usability of support process and dealer service all is so weak.
    Since Apple support kicked out the dealer,  I called in next attempt  a German person to relay my telephone request while being on Skype session.
    But what we there experienced was far more unfriendly.
    We picked up the call after 2-3 ring  and a computer voice wellcomed us and told us that Apple was not able to reach us.
    Furthermore they announced to call agian 10minutes later (10:21am MET +10min) we waited in Skype session over half an hour but no call back.
    I tried than to request again a call with clear indication that they pleas have to use my abroad number.
    But this results  in an email answer from Apple support that they can't reach me although the number they confirmed to are correct!
    My umber is also given in my data records in Apple-ID. So why is Apple support not able to escalate to second support level if something goes obviously goes wrong?
    May be too much automated system administration?
    After 1,5 days and many many emails, calls and endless frustration on my site and on authorized dealer side I need to escalate my simple request now over all channels I can find within the Apple universum.
    ontact details are all known to you and many request emails in your inbox refer to this case. My dealer contacts I already forwarded to Apple support email.
    Hey guys, I need just to get my security questions reseted! Can anybody assist please?
    Please inform we when done or call me under my:
    1. day number
    2. evening number
    3. Mobile number.
    4. Apple-ID email
    5. ooptional email
    6. or contact my relay in Germany under the number I send to you.
    PPLLLEEAASSEEEEE!

    Thanks roaminggnome for reminding me on this reference,
    that was one of the confusing webpages I found for this problem while using a simple search :-)
    But in my case the screen looked different and the procdure even more different than described in this easy to search posting.
    But don't worry Appel support also approached it in same way.
    The solution for this problem was much different.
    The scaring story with all this is that I had to give full account access and security question answers to a third party person helping as a relay to comunicate to Apple support.
    A simple search in free forums showed me that I'm not the only one having trouble with this Apple security strategy.
    Many thanks again!

  • I am in Germany and just purchased a sim card from ALDI, I tried to activate it on my phone, but it says it is locked. How do I unlock it? I only have wifi so I can't call Verizon Support from my phone, is there a way to do it online?

    I am in Germany and purchased a sim card. It says my phone is locked, is there a way to unlock it online (I only have wifi so I can't call Verizon Support)?

    I actually managed to unlock it by borrowing someone else's phone to call
    verizon. I am using my iphone 4s with an aldi sim card. I'm having some
    trouble with sms and internet, but I don't think that has anything to do
    verizon, thank you for getting back to me!

  • For some reason Apple has decided randomly that my debit card doesn't match my bank account. And, I can't get songs from cloud on to my iPod. I'm stationed in Germany with no way to call Apple support from here [Freeking 1800's can't be called from here

    I could not be more frustrated than I am right now with Apple. Abysmal support for Americans overseas

    Since have completely lost control of that Apple ID and neither recovery email nor security questions are working any more, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Calling from abroad with paying monthly

    I have a 2 part question.
    Part one, are the pay monthly subscriptions for unlimited north America usable from abroad? I will be in Austria and I need to make calls to America from there.
    Part two, if I buy one of these version cell phones sype offers with these plans, will they have service in Austria? I need to be able to make calls reliably for work.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Answer to your first question, North America subscription can be used in any country you wish, but you can purchase it only from US. If subscription runs out you can't purchase it again from Austria, unless recurring payments is set up. Subscriptions are by default recurring and you might wish to purchase your subscription with Skype Credit. Then as long as you have Skype Credit your subscription will be extended, there are various ways of adding Skype Credit to your account in Austria: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/ways-to-pay/?country=AT
    Here's a guide to purchase subscription with Skype Credit: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1781/How-can-I-pay-for-a-subscription
    Regarding second question, did you mean Verizon cell phone?
    If so then this FAQ should help: https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA10854/Can-I-use-Skype-on-my-mobile-phone-abroad
    You might think about purchasing a phone that works over WiFi: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/other-supported-devices/
    If phone works over WiFi then you can use it abroad.

  • I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  The head phones work though.  I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled.  Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

    I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  There is sound when we use the headphones.  Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
    It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
    Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device.  Who h has not helped.
    HELP!!!!!!!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    Replace the jack yourself

  • Hi i have just bought a used ibook from goodwill and need to reset the id and password.is there anyway to do this? i called tech support and they said to try here because our ibook is considered opsolete and they can't help me. thanks

    hi before i start i did not steal it, i bought a used ibook and need to know if there is a way to reset or get past the old user id and pass word. we bought it from goodwil so no way to ask old owner and i called tech support and it is conciderd opsolete so no help from them and know one in this area works on mac. so what can i do?  this is for my daughter and we are not rich thats why we bought used. thanks for any help.

    Here are the instructions, as I have them:
    Press the Command + s key during startup. This takes you to Single User Mode, where you will see a command line.
    Type this when the command-line prompt (>) appears:
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    When the iBook restarts, you will see the setup screen. This allows you to create a new account. BE SURE to give yourself administrative privileges. You can now use this new account and set it to log in automatically with this new account if you don't want to be bothered with the login screen every time you start up.
    You can also delete the old account if you want to free up some hard drive space.
    Good luck!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    However, it is desirable to do it with the disc, if it is available, which is why I waited to see if the user has the disc before supplying the instructions for doing it via Single User Mode.

    I have an I pad Mini. Since i down loaded the new update ISO 7, my I Pad is not running certain media files either from Chrome or Safari browser. I called technical support but they failed to provide any help stating the media files may not be compctable with new soft ware. I do bnot agree with their finding because i have I phone with ISO 7 updated soft ware and same files run on my I phone but not on I Pad. This was working fine before updating new software. This device is useless for me if i can not watch the program that i bought this for. I want device to replaced or taken back by the company. Thank you

    Here are the iPad Mini specifications:

    The specifications explain exactly what types of files are supported under "TV and Video".

  • 6th generation nano screen black but able to touch screen from memory to get music to play..called customer support they said it's the backlight since touch screen can still be touched and music can be played..any thoughts?

    second 6th generation nano..again with the same problem..screen is black will not turn on but am able to touch screen and get music/radio to play...able to touch around on screen from memory..nano is recognized in itunes and computer..but screen will not turn on..called customer support today..of course out of warranty but was told that it sounds like my backlight is burnt out and that's all i need fixed, told that it shouldn't be that expensive (live in myrtle beach SC) and that my screen is fine since i am able to touch around on it...any thoughts?
    thanks to all for any advice or input..will try to take to local icitymac store in next couple of days
    jenn

    Replacing the backlight usually requires replacing the entire front LCD/digitizer.  And yes, it sounds the backlight has burned out.
    Keep in mind that if you go the Apple route, they won't actually repair the iPod, but instead will do an out of warranty exchange meaning your current Nano will be replaced with a refurbished model of the same capacity and generation.

  • HT201232 I have called the support number given, was on hold for more than an hour and received quite unpleasant phone bill for trying to sort out AppStore mistake! Is there any other options of getting "support" apart from calling these telephone numbers

    My account was charged for buying app that I actually didn't buy. I was trying to sort out these mistake by calling the support number given (Russia). There was no other options like sending an email or calling some other number. I was on hold for one hour and a half! Is that normal for Apple support??? So apart from being charged for the app I haven't given my permission to buy, I also got a phone bill for calling the only support number available. Where can I submit my complain and what could be done about it?
    Thank you,
    Natalia

    There is an email way to do this. See here: https://getsupport.apple.com/ContactInfo.action
    The Russian Federation is one of the countries listed under Other.

  • Making calls from abroad

    Is there a way to activate calls from abroad when you have already left the country?

    Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
    If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
    If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
    Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
    You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
    But you can still do this if you are abroad.
    If you have had the device/contract for 6 months or over you can login to your online account and turn on roaming yourself
    Manage this device>Usage controls>Roaming abroad - Allow and Call abroad and turn it on. If the option is not there you need to call
    It can take 24 hours to activate
    If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
    Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.
    http://explore.ee.co.uk/roaming/ee
    Please read this about voicemail
    http://ee.co.uk/help/getting-started/setting-up-voicemail/divert-to-voicemail
    And this
    http://ee.co.uk/articles/set-up-your-phone-for-using-abroad
    Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country.

  • Domestic calls from abroad included with sub?

    Hi,
    I have an unlimited domestic (USA) subscription, so I can make unlimited calls to US numbers. If I'm traveling abroad, are calls to US numbers still included (over wifi), since my destination number is still domestic, or would I be liable for additional calling fees since my call is originating from outside of the country?
    Solved!

    Subscriptions work from any country. Your location is irrelevant.

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.
