Contacting Russian Apple support from another country

In many countries, contacting iPhone support may be difficult or even impossible. In many cases, technical support is provided in a language other than Russian. What to do in this situation? Is it possible to contact the Russian-speaking support service while being in another country?

Why don't I receive SMS messages on my iPhone or iPad?

There is such a possibility. To do this, select one of the available methods:

Call available hotline numbers. In this case, you can make calls to a nationwide number or to a number available to residents of Moscow and the Moscow region. However, when making calls from another country, you should focus on the cost of international calls. The waiting time can be quite long, which can easily result in unnecessary financial costs. To save on communication costs, you can use additional installed programs (for example, Skype).
Online chat. Chat is a kind of reference book where you can get reliable information from a company representative.

Attention! When going to the “Support” section, a page may open not in Russian, but in the language of the country where the user is currently located. However, there is no need to be afraid. If necessary, you can always change your region of residence in the settings.

To change the chat language you need to follow a few simple steps:

Open the chat page on the official website (in the support section).
A line with the region will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
You need to click on this line and then change the location by selecting Russia.

Recovering your password via the Apple ID management page

You can also reset your password through Apple's online services, which you can open in your computer's browser.

In your browser, you need to open the official Apple ID management page - appleid.apple.com.
In the main line, simply enter your Apple ID login.
Below you will see an item Forgot your Apple ID or password. Follow this link.
Password recovery via the website
Next, enter your username. Typically, the login is the email that was used as an identifier. If the account was created on an iPhone via iCloud, then the email will look like [....]@icloud.com . Click continue.
If you enabled two-factor authentication, you will need to enter your phone number.
If all the data is correct, a notification from the Apple service will be sent to your phone. You will need to select the item Allow and follow the instructions to reset your password.

Issues that can be resolved by contacting support

Apple's telephone support center allows every owner of iPhones and other gadgets from this manufacturer to receive answers from qualified specialists. They can help in solving difficult situations:

how to choose the right device, what you should pay attention to first;
how to connect and configure the software;
how to resolve problems that have arisen (which can be of a very different nature and of any level of complexity);
what are the functional characteristics of Apple gadgets;
how to choose the right accessories for iPhones;
how long can the gadget last under normal use, etc.

Every iPhone owner can count on timely, qualified assistance from Apple hotline operators.

Important! Experts can indeed fix many problems remotely. However, some problems can only be resolved through local adjustments or through the intervention of an experienced technician.

The support service employs people with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Cases in which technical support operators will not be able to provide assistance

Please understand that specialists responding to inquiries via the hotline provide remote assistance. In this regard, they will not be able to eliminate problems in the event of:

the need for repair work;
the need to replace any technical elements in the iPhone.

If suddenly the user encounters problems of this nature, then to resolve such problems, you should contact directly an official Apple service representative in your home region. In this case, the hotline employee will directly say that the problem cannot be solved remotely.

The essence of the question that has arisen

This is a fairly common problem for novice users and parents who entrust their gadgets to their children. A child or non-English speaking user accidentally clicks on a link (for example, posted in the form of an advertising banner on Facebook or in a gaming application), and then responds affirmatively to all pop-up dialog boxes, thereby agreeing to sign up for a paid premium subscription in a third-party application.

What happens next? A certain (usually quite large) amount of money is regularly automatically debited from the user's account until there are enough funds on the balance of the card linked to iTunes. Next, Apple sends a notification that the card is rejected for purchases on Apple services (in fact, this is due to the fact that there is not enough money to pay off the debt), and its inattentive owner stops using the account so as not to pay off the resulting debt.

Alternative ways to contact technical support specialists

The available Apple hotline phone numbers are far from the only way to contact qualified specialists who can help resolve issues related to the use and maintenance of iPhones.

Instructions from the official website

Each owner of gadgets from this manufacturer can use the following communication methods:

communication on the forum where you can get valuable advice from other users;
following the instructions posted on the company’s official website, as well as on other reliable sources;
communication with other users in specially created groups and communities;
receiving answers to your questions by email;
order a call back.

Each of the available alternative methods of communication with company specialists should be described in more detail.

Email

Apple representatives did not provide for the creation of a separate email address for remote interaction with users. However, every iPhone owner can do the following:

go to the official website of the manufacturer;
view all available sections.

Important! Each section of the site is dedicated to a specific topic. There are a lot of messages, so it is wise to use the search.

You can fill out your request in the form and send it to employees. This way, the user will be able to receive an answer to a question of interest (in writing) from a qualified specialist within a certain period of time.

Order a call back

iPhone support is provided not only through direct phone calls. Any user can request a call back.

All you need is:

Open the main page of the Apple website (https://www.apple.com/ru/).
Select the “Support” section (on the top line of the page).
After a new window opens, you need to scroll down the page until the next image appears.
Next, click on the active line “Contact Apple Support”.
Select the device that is experiencing problems.
Indicate the nature of the malfunction (what exactly caused the technical failure, what symptoms, etc.).
Select the most preferable communication option (in this case, “Call Back”).
Enter the serial number of your mobile device or enter your Apple ID (this is required to confirm that all operations are performed by a person and not a robot).
Wait for a call from the operator for some time.

If the user is in another country, then you should expect that it will not be possible to contact technical support by ordering a call back. However, it is quite possible to do this with a Russian SIM card. The thing is that the call back form provides for the indication of a number that begins with “+7” (and this is a prefix only for Russian numbers). This prefix cannot be deleted or replaced with another.

You can order a call back by specifying a convenient time to contact you

Communication on the site, online chat

Online communication on the official website is one of the most convenient ways to communicate with iPhone technical support specialists (in addition, this method eliminates the need to make phone calls).

In order to contact a specialist in a timely manner, you should carry out the entire sequence of actions outlined in the previous section.

But when choosing the most preferred method of communication (step 7), you should specify not a call back, but an online chat. The consultant will definitely see the message from the user and will be able to respond to the request within a few minutes.

Apple has blocked the account. Causes

Apple can block your account not only for violating the rules

Let's start with the fact that blocking an Apple ID is not the same as deleting or deactivating it. The last two sanctions apply to accounts that are guaranteed to no longer be used. As a rule, this is not a restrictive, but a reactive measure that is applied, for example, if the user has died. By the way, if you are wondering what will happen to your Apple ID account when you are no longer here, we have a separate article where we describe in detail all possible scenarios. And, as for blocking, this, whatever one may say, is not an eternal phenomenon. At least by default.

Obviously, there are quite a few reasons why Apple can block an Apple ID, but we will focus only on the most common and notable ones:

Non-receipt of payments for applications . This can happen if you do not have money in your bank account at the time of paying for the application. In this case, your account may be subject to a soft block, which will limit you only in purchasing software. However, neither mail, nor iCloud synchronization, nor other privileges will be blocked. The soft block will be lifted automatically as soon as you put money on the card and the debt will be repaid.

Sending spam . This spam can be anything. For example, if your account is used to write mass comments of the same type in the App Store (including offensive ones) or mailing lists. To unlock your account, you will need to contact Apple and prove that it is not your fault. The decision to unblock will be made individually.

Security Considerations . This category can include a wide range of reasons, but usually it is either unauthorized account access or attempt, or suspicious transactions in the App Store or iTunes. In this case, try recovering your account yourself, or if you need help, contact Apple Technical Support.

How to prevent Apple ID from being reset by entering a passcode on iOS

Storing inappropriate material on iCloud . Not many people know that Apple can analyze the contents of your cloud. At least for the photos you store there. Cupertino explains this by the need to combat pedophilia and domestic violence. If any pictures indicate the presence of such facts in your biography, your account may be blocked. To unlock it, you will have to prove that you are not guilty, but the chances of success are low.

Failure to comply with the terms of the trade-in agreement . In the US and some other countries, Apple takes its users at their word and gives a discount on a new device in advance with the promise that they will trade in the old one. In Europe, for example, the company simply returns the money after receiving the old gadget, and in the USA it simply blocks the account if the gadget has not been sent. The only thing that will save you is sending out the old device or refunding the discount.

Failure to fulfill credit obligations on Apple Card. It turns out that this happens. Someone named Dustin Curtis said he missed an Apple credit card payment and the company blocked his Apple ID. It is difficult to say whether Curtis is hiding something, but if this is true, then Apple has received a new tool for influencing users in order to improve their financial culture.

Competence of Help Desk Operators

Some iPhone owners believe that turning to specialists for help is always difficult. However, based on the information above, you can be convinced that this is far from the case.

Contact with qualified company employees is a guarantee that the problem that has arisen will be resolved in a fairly short period of time. This often only takes a couple of minutes, because many technical problems can be resolved using standard settings.

Each client can be confident that he will receive a comprehensive answer from the operator that will help resolve the problem. In the event that a specific employee cannot localize and solve the problem, he transfers the call to a more competent technician.

Manufacturers of Apple products have created all the conditions so that users of the iPhone and other devices of this company can solve a technical problem of any complexity in a fairly short period of time. Consultants and operators are always ready for a productive dialogue with clients. In this regard, all users can receive a detailed answer to their question within a few minutes, which allows them to troubleshoot the device in the shortest possible time. By choosing any of the available methods of contacting the support service (calling the hotline, email, online chat or call back), the client can always be sure that he is guaranteed to receive professional advice.

What is important to know before applying?

The most important thing before applying is to prepare all the data that you remember about your ID: old login, password, when was the last time you used your ID, what recovery methods have you already used. All this information will help the support team find a solution to your issue faster. When contacting, employees will not be sure that you are the owner of the identifier, so it will be important for them to get as much information as possible from you to make sure that the identifier really belongs to you. Additional questions help corporate employees identify intruders. After all, it may happen that some person wants to gain access to someone else’s ID. Therefore, if the support service doubts you, then you will receive a refusal of your request.

Before calling, have all the information ready to prove that you are the owner of this phone. They may even ask you for a receipt. But here it is important to understand that only if you purchased a certified device, then it will be valid. If you brought a device from abroad, it will be considered uncertified, so a receipt for it will obviously not work.

To contact the help desk, go to the interactive assistant, which will guide you through all the steps described above so that you are guaranteed to receive help.
