Getting help

How fast can someone help me?

Our desk is staffed Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM Mountain. Pay for a session or call, and a technician contacts you as soon as one is free. For emergencies outside those hours, call or buy a session any time and we answer as fast as we can.

How does a remote session work?

You pay for an hour online, and we call you from (720) 222-0110. You open a small program called TeamViewer QuickSupport and give us the ID number it shows. The technician then sees your screen and fixes the problem while you watch.

Do I need an appointment?

No. For remote help, pay online or call and we take it from there. On-site visits for business clients are by appointment.

Do I have to stay at the computer?

Stay nearby and keep your phone with you. Some steps need you: typing a password, approving a prompt, pressing a button on the printer.

What do I need for a remote session?

A device that turns on, a working internet connection and a phone. A phone hotspot can be enough to get started when the home internet is the problem.

Price and payment

What does it cost?

Home help is $160 per hour and business help is $250 per hour, with a one-hour minimum, prepaid online by card. There is no membership and no contract.

What if my problem takes more than an hour?

The technician tells you before the paid time runs out and you decide whether to add more. You can also buy several hours up front.

Can I buy more than one hour?

Yes, from one to eight hours at checkout. If you start with one and the work needs more, the technician tells you before continuing.

Which plan do I choose if I work from home?

If the computer and the problem are your own, choose Home. If the computer belongs to a company, or the work is for a business with employees or clients, choose Business.

How do I pay?

By card on Stripe's secure checkout page. You get a confirmation by email. We do not take gift cards, crypto or wire transfers, and we never see your card number.

Safety and privacy

Is it safe to let you into my computer?

You start the session, you see everything we do, and you end it by closing TeamViewer. QuickSupport gives no access once it is closed. We never ask for gift cards, crypto or your banking passwords.

Do you need my passwords?

You type your own passwords during the session. We never ask for banking passwords, and we never ask you to read a password you created to us.

Can you get back into my computer later?

No. QuickSupport only works while you have it open and gives no access after you close it.

Someone called me saying they are from eBox Support. Is that real?

We call only after you contacted us or paid for a session, and always from (720) 222-0110. If someone calls out of the blue, asks for gift cards or pressures you, hang up and call us on that number.

TeamViewer

Is TeamViewer QuickSupport free for me?

Yes. The person receiving help does not need a TeamViewer account or license. You download QuickSupport from TeamViewer's own site or from the official app store.

Do I have to install anything permanently?

No. QuickSupport on Windows and Mac runs without a full installation and only works while its window is open. You can delete the file after the session.

Why does my Mac show a black or blank screen to the technician?

macOS blocks screen sharing until you allow it. Open System Settings, Privacy and Security, and turn TeamViewer QuickSupport on under Screen Recording and Accessibility. You can turn it off again afterwards.

Can you control my iPhone or iPad?

No. Apple only allows screen viewing on iPhone and iPad. We see what you see and guide you by voice. Android support depends on the phone maker.

On-site and limits

Do you come to my home or office?

Help at home is by remote session only. For business clients we also make on-site visits, by appointment: call (720) 222-0110.

What cannot be fixed remotely?

A computer that will not turn on, broken hardware or no internet connection at all. Call us and we will tell you the options, including data recovery for failed drives and, for business clients, on-site visits.

Do you help outside Colorado?

Remote sessions work anywhere with an internet connection. Our hours are Mountain Time.

My files are gone or my drive is dead. Can you help?

Stop using the drive first. Deleted files on a healthy computer can sometimes be recovered in a remote session. A drive that clicks or will not start needs a data recovery lab: see denverdatarecovery.net, our sister service.
