Creating a support ticket

I was told on chat to open an in game ticket. The instructions say to use help followed by contact us but there is no contact us. How do I open an in game ticket?

    Hi @jkg7777

    Thanks for asking this question. I checked out the forum guide but you're right it's a bit outdated, I'll work on getting that up to date asap. In the meantime, I took a peek on our EA help site, the guide 'How to get help in SimCity BuildIt' has an updated step-by-step. I'll add it here:

    Contact EA Help in-game

    1. Tap the Settings icon (wrench and screwdriver).
    2. Tap the Help button. The Frequently Asked Questions page will open.
    3. Scroll to the bottom and tap EA Help to visit our help site or select Customer Service to contact us.

    Thanks for the update.  

    I followed the instructions but still can't find a way to open a support ticket?

    Anything else to try?

    Hi @jkg7777

    Can you share what happens when you follow those steps? Do you see the option 'Customer Service' when you look in your game?

    Yes there is a 'Customer Service" button.  When clicked, it goes to an 'EA Help' screen.

    Which looks like this:

    If I select the 'known issues' tab, there is an option for 'How do I report a bug".  Selecting that shows this screen:

    Which is back to where I started.

    Thanks.

    Hi @jkg7777

    Thanks for sharing those images. It looks like they might be taken on a PC. To reach the support team with an in-game ticket, you'd need to open up your game on your phone where you play the game. Could you give that a go, please?

    Those are the screens I see on my phone. I uploaded them to my PC to attach them.

  • Here are the screen shots directly from my phone. 

    I asked members if my club and they don't see an option to create a ticket either..

    Thanks

    Thanks.  I did the chat and I'll see what happens.

    What a horrible process to go through. None of the screen match what the help tells you to do.

    All I want is to have them fix my friends list and I have to jump through so many hoops to get support.  One of the worst customer support experiences I've had in a while.

    Opening a ticket usually ends up with a response that we cant do anything about that issue...
