Confirmation Code issues HELP ME

I bought the 'SIMS 3 Plus Pets' today and I have been trying to install it without success. Every time I get to the point of installation where you enter the confirmation code I enter the Sims 3 code and press enter and it says 'invalid code, please make sure you typed it in correctly'. I have tried every trick in the book to see if maybe the 8 was a B or if the 5 was an S and it still says invalid code! I have attempted to call the (650)6281001 number for help and I have been on wait for half an hour. What do I do to play my new game?

    Where did you buy the game from?  Are you sure it was new? 

    I'm also on hold with them.  This is my second call today and hour 4 of my life wasted and waiting for some one to answer over at customer support.

    To answer your questions in order: I called that number because it was the number given on the Tech support in the manual. Thanks for telling me what the real number is! I got the game from Fred Myers in Anchorage AK. Yes it was brand new, and very shiny!

    Unfortuately, phoning or live chat are you only options if DVD codes don't work. The AnswerHQ is about users helping users and we can't provide you with a working code.

    They can be found here: https://help.ea.com/contact-us

    Choose a category, a game and a platform for the contact options to show up.

    If live chat is gray, change your country to US and make sure you're on US Business hours. It might also gray because they're very busy. Try later.

    See this post if you have trouble with the site: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2012/10/how-to-contact-ea.html

    Beware that there's no longer an Email option
