Troubleshooting
LinkedIn Support Won't Respond or Help
No phone line exists, but a path to a real person still does.
Is this your situation?
You searched for a phone number or email and found nothing that works, and the help assistant feels like a wall. That frustration is real, and there is a path to a person, not the one you expected.
The short answer
LinkedIn does not offer a phone number for customer support, and does not charge for support. Sites advertising LinkedIn phone support for a fee are not affiliated with LinkedIn. To contact customer support, sign in to your LinkedIn account.
