Really? What's the number for help with gmail? I can't find it anywhere on their site. YouTube either, if it's different.

Also, I need a number to reach support at Facebook, if you have it.

If you pay for Google Apps they do. I've had to call them a few times, and they were actually fairly helpful, even calling me back the next day to make sure the problem was resolved.

Judging by the number they called me from their call center is in Ireland.

You don't pay to use Facebook, so you don't get support.

Google does provide phone support to Google Business accounts, though, since those cost money.

They offer support over the phone for products they charge customers for.
