China On-Call
All guides →

Need someone to call Chinese customer service for you?

Short answer: China On-Call is one person in China who calls companies on your behalf in Mandarin and reports the answer back in English. Almost every company in China runs customer service in Mandarin only — the voice menu, the ID check at the start, and the person who can actually fix the problem. I make that call in Chinese and bring the result back to you in English.

Chinese customer service is a phone-first system: you get a menu in Mandarin, then an identity check, then a queue, then someone who can fix it. If you can’t do the first two steps you never reach the third. That’s the whole problem, and it’s fixable with one call.

What I can do on the phone

What this doesn't cover

How it works

  1. Send me the company, the account or booking name, and what went wrong. Screenshots help more than a description.
  2. I call in Chinese, clear the menu and the identity check, and get the case logged with whoever can act on it.
  3. You get what was agreed in English — including a case number (工单号), a time frame, or a straight “no, here’s why”.

Questions people ask before paying

Do you need my account password?

No, and I never ask for it. Customer service will sometimes need details only you can give — a passport number, a code sent to your phone — and I’ll ask you for those as we go.

Can you get my money back?

I can put your case in front of the right person and get it logged, which is the step most foreigners never get past. I can’t guarantee the decision.

What is a 工单号 (case number) and why does it matter?

It’s the reference number for your logged complaint. Without one there’s no record in the system; with one you can follow up, escalate, or hand it to an insurer. Getting that number is usually the point of the call.

Can you call a company on my behalf if I’m not a customer?

If the problem is yours to raise, yes — you give me the details and I call as your assistant. I won’t pretend to be you where a company requires the account holder personally.
