RSL uses this page when supporting calls through the Retail Sales Support Line (1-888-310-8369). Retail Team members should review Issue resolution: In-Store before calling RSL to be sure RSL assistance is needed to resolve their issue.
Call handling: RSL
Expectations
- Retail Teams must refer to in-store processes & memo the account on any actions taken before contacting RSL.
- RSL must review steps that have already been done for the customer and assist the Retail Team member. Refer to Magenta Pulse process/policy as needed.
- Important: RSL may not be used as a bypass for an OTP under ANY circumstances. If Retail is asking to bypass a transaction that requires an OTP and the customer cannot receive one, they must be assisted In-Store unless otherwise noted. For more information on transactions that are OTP required that can be done in store, see One Time PINs.
- See Account Verification: Home Internet for Home Internet only OTP bypass support.
- If you’re unable to find an account that was previously canceled, see Archived Samson accounts
- Retails Teams may need to call into RSL from their personal mobile devices or a store-in-store kiosk's (such as within Costco or Sam’s Club) dedicated company-use mobile device..
- As long as the Retail Team member verifies the customer account (for existing account support) in their system with an ID scan or performed Step-Up OTP process and validates through the IVR menu with a token code, passcode, and active dealer code (pertaining to same person who verified the account), you can assist.
- Example situations that cause a Retail Team member to call in from their personal device:
- Store phone is unavailable
- Retail Team member is supporting an outreach event
