Service & Support

Enterprises

At Citel, our primary goal is to ensure your EXTender™, PBXgateway™, Portico™, TVA™, EDAC, Module EXTender and IP Phone products are operational and productive. We offer a number of support and training options for end users and Authorized Business Partners for products purchased through authorized channels.

 

Technical Support Requests

Citel offers free online and telephone technical support services for end users during the first year of ownership of new product and for six months on all repaired and advanced replacement products (these items are considered within warranty). Said services are also provided to Citel Authorized Business Partners (covered by formal agreements). Extended Warranty contracts that provide unlimited access to free online and telephone technical support services are available to all customers if purchased up front or prior to the end of the first year of ownership (contact sales@citel.com for more information)

 

The primary method to accessing Citel’s technical support resources is to Contact Us. As we require specific information to confirm warranty information, please provide comprehensive details as requested to speed up the actual support response time. We will be adding full registration features for all of your products moving forward to ensure support is provided in an even more timely fashion. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with a ticket number and during the hours of 9am to 6pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday (holidays excepted) a call within two hours of your submission. If you do not include the serial number in your submission Support will require that number and possibly proof of purchase to verify warranty status when they call prior to providing service. Please provide as detailed a response, especially on the nature of the problem so we can ensure the right person contacts you to provide support.

 

Should your item be out of warranty, you will be contacted and offered support at the rates detailed on your confirmation e-mail (see Obtaining technical support for equipment not covered under standard or extended warranty for more details.

 

Purchasing extended warranty services.

Citel offers telephone support and factory repair services, including advance replacement if needed. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with a ticket number and during the hours of 9am to 6pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday (holidays excepted) a call within two hours of your submission.
