Creating a Ticket
- To create a ticket, you need to go to http://util.xat.com/support/open.php.
Your xat ID will automatically be shown in "xat username" form. Please note: you must be a PAID USER to open a ticket under some topics.
- If you are not a paid user you may go to http://xat.com/support and register on the forum and post in the general support section.
- In the next form, you type your xat.com password for that corresponding username. Under "Help Topic" you need to choose a topic from the dropdown menu (see example 1).
Once this is done, you need to type a subject for the ticket (ex: I am locked out of my account) this topic needs to be at least 5 words.
The final step will be explaining the issue you are having, or what you need help with. Under "Message" you need to put a descriptive explanation of the problem you're having. For example: "I am locked out of my ID 12345678, please update my location". If you are locked out, include any details that will help to verify that you are the account holder. These details might include your old IP address, the account name and ID number, number of xats/days on your account, internet provider, previous location, etc.
Click open ticket, and wait for a response.
