Why can't I speak to support live from the UK. Any time I create a ticket it sends me an email from a support team member that ask me to follow a link for live chat and all it does is make me go thro...

Community ManagerHi @the-d-v-int,
Contacting support for mobile games works a bit differently to the standard contact route for pc/console ones. It's because the support team needs information that won't carry through if you start the help ticket from the help.ea.com website. They'll often point you towards starting the help ticket from in-game as a result. It's a necessary step.
Could you take a look through the steps and images in this thread (click the spoiler tags to view screenshots) and let me know if you've been doing those exact steps?
If yes, can I check what device you're trying to connect with support from?

@EA_Lanna Hi I will try these steps precisley but I believe I have done this already
Update: After I click the grey contact button it takes me to this
Update #2: Ive tried the steps you laid out. I even tried raising a new ticket and it does the same thing. Email support only when I select UK region. Surely there is live support for your games outside the US and Canada?

Hi @the-d-v-int,
I understand now. It's not so much about your region in this case, it's because it's a mobile ticket. For mobile titles, due to the information that's needed, it can only be gathered and sent through via email format. This is why the only contact option for mobile tickets would be email.
If connecting via phone or live chat is something you'd really like to do, please continue with the in-game ticket via email for now so the needed information at least goes through first. After hearing back from the support team confirming they're looking into it, the following steps should then help to generate different contact options depending on language selected:
- Go to http://help.ea.com and log out if you are logged in.
- Select contact us -> Select Origin -> Select PC/Mac -> Select manage my account -> Select hacked account -> Select contact option.
Once in chat or on the phone let them know the actual email to load up the correct account and if you have it handy, the case umber for the help tickets successfully sent in from in-game.

Hi well that was useless. I done the in-game ticket. Gave them all the information they needed and guess what they asked me to go to their site to connect via live chat or phone. Which for some reason I can't. This is a disgrace I have many e.a products and if it's this difficult to connect to your support I am seriously thinking of no further investment into e.a games..I'm getting caught in an endless loop of no help at all and any solution presented takes me back to the start of the process.
Im having the same issue from canada. I get one email, from a different agent each time, each asking for more information, Ive given everything including screenshots. Most don't even read the ticket since they are generic copy and paste replies. Now I keep being asked to connect via phone or live chat so I can get the information I need, i need NO information. Im frankly disgusted with the support I've received for this game. I work for tech support in another field, I would have had a warning on day one for mishandling a case, day 3 would have been my final warning. Today i would have received a pink slip. Myself, like the OP here, have been an EA game player since the 90s and Im just about ready to give it up entirely, this isn't the first time ive had a run around issue.
