How to Reach Paramount / Paramount+ Customer Service by Phone — Expert Guide

Overview and where phone support fits in

Paramount (the corporate entity often called Paramount Global) and Paramount+ (the consumer streaming service) maintain different customer-contact channels. Paramount+ primarily drives support through its Help Center, in-app chat, and email for subscription and streaming issues; corporate, creative, or press queries are routed through Paramount Global switchboards at the corporate offices or the Paramount Pictures lot. Understanding which number to call and why reduces wait time and gets you to the right team faster.

This guide consolidates the last-published phone contacts, physical addresses, suggested hours, and a practical checklist of what to have ready before you call. Where phone contact is limited or regional, I explain the optimal escalation paths (in-app chat, social escalation, billing disputes) and provide exact links and addresses you can use when a phone route is not available.

Primary phone numbers, addresses and web endpoints (summary)

As organizations update contact details frequently, always verify numbers on the official site before calling. Below are the authoritative points of contact and the typical purpose for each number or address. I include physical corporate addresses because many formal notices (billing disputes, DMCA, legal notices) are still routed by mail to a corporate address.

• Paramount Global (corporate switchboard): 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036 — main switchboard +1 212-258-6000 (general corporate inquiries; press and investor relations are routed from here).
• Paramount Pictures Studio Lot (production & lot services): 5555 Melrose Ave, Hollywood, CA 90038 — main studio phone +1 323-956-5000 (studio operations, production inquiries, visitor information).
• Paramount+ consumer support (U.S.): primary self-service hub is https://help.paramountplus.com — in-app chat is the recommended route for subscription/device issues. Phone support availability varies by region; if a phone line is published for your account it will appear inside the Help Center or your account billing page.

What phone support can and cannot resolve

Phone support teams for Paramount+ typically resolve account access, billing questions, device compatibility, streaming quality, and password resets. They can also process refunds in limited cases, explain charge dates, and walk through step-by-step app troubleshooting on platforms such as Roku, Apple TV, Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, and game consoles.

Phone teams generally cannot process legal requests (copyright takedowns require DMCA routes), handle high-level corporate negotiations, or change studio production credits; those matters are routed to legal or studio departments via written correspondence. For unresolved billing disputes you can escalate via the Help Center’s escalation option, contact your payment provider, or file formal complaints with consumer agencies such as the Better Business Bureau or state attorney general (see escalation section below).

Exact information to have before calling

Having the right data ready cuts call time by 50–70% and increases first-call resolution. Agents handle customer verification and troubleshooting far faster if you supply accurate account and device details up-front.

• Account details: email address on file, subscription plan type, last 4 digits of the payment method, subscription start date. If you have a receipt, have the transaction ID and date (e.g., transaction on 2024-03-12 $11.99).
• Device and environment: device make/model (e.g., Roku 4820X, Apple TV 4K 2nd gen), OS version, app version (visible in app Settings), home network type (ISP and modem model), and a summary of error messages or error codes with timestamps.
• Desired outcome: refund, account cancellation, technical fix, or escalation. State this clearly at the start to align routing (billing vs technical vs retention).

Troubleshooting checklist to run before calling

Perform these five quick checks; many perceived “service” problems are local device or network issues and can be fixed in 3–7 minutes, avoiding hold time and an unnecessary phone call.

• Confirm account status in the Paramount+ account page (active, paused, canceled) and check for multiple accounts tied to the same email.
• Sign out and back in: sign out of the app on the device, remove the device from your account online if listed, then sign back in to refresh tokens.
• Reboot network hardware and device: power-cycle modem/router and the streaming device; if streaming error persists, try a different device (phone or web browser) to determine whether problem is device-specific.
• Update app and OS: ensure both the Paramount+ app and your device firmware are the latest versions — app version numbers and dates are shown in the app store listings; out-of-date apps are responsible for >30% of streaming errors in industry telemetry.
• Test network speed: a consistent 25 Mbps or greater for 1080p streaming and 50 Mbps+ for 4K are recommended; run a speed test and note download/ping values before calling.

Escalation, refunds, and filing formal complaints

If your phone contact does not resolve a billing or service issue within 7–14 days, escalate using the Help Center email/escalation function, request a supervisor on the phone, and follow up with a written complaint to the corporate address above. For billing disputes, also contact your card issuer and open a dispute; most card networks (Visa/Mastercard) require notification within 60–120 days of the transaction date.

For unresolved consumer complaints you can file with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or your state attorney general; include all supporting documentation: call logs, receipts, screenshots, dates/times, and the agent’s name if available. If your issue is a DMCA takedown or other intellectual property concern, use the published DMCA agent contact on the Paramount corporate site and send a formal takedown notice to the designated agent’s mailing address or email (these addresses are listed on the corporate legal pages).

Best practices and final recommendations

When you call, be concise: state your account email, the exact error or charge, what troubleshooting you’ve already done, and the outcome you want. Note the agent’s name and reference number for the call; if the agent escalates, ask for the escalation ticket number and an expected SLA (e.g., 72-hour response). Keep records — documented follow-up increases successful resolution rates by 40% in consumer service benchmarking studies.

When in doubt, use the in-app chat first — it logs the conversation automatically and often provides faster resolution for streaming or login problems. For formal notices, refunds beyond 90 days, or legal requests, use certified mail to the corporate address and include tracked delivery; this creates a formal paper trail that is useful if you must escalate to regulatory agencies.
