Helpline numbers

Help, I need somebody, not just anybody!

No matter what the problem, there IS help out there. Sure, there are plenty of online forums, but there are also some really good helplines out there too. Many people prefer helplines over online support because you get to hear a real person’s voice. Plus, you get to have a two way conversation back and forth in real time, which can be really helpful for sorting through any problem.
