    @IBKR For a long time SMS messages sent to UAE numbers from IBKR, never come through, even though no blocking is enabled on the network carrier level, I want to help resolve this, please share the IBKR SMS gateway numbers/contacts, so I can check with our ISP @Etisalat_Care

  • RussianGoldBoy RussianOligarch (@RussianGoldBoy) reported

    @IBKR Quick answer, NO for #IBKR, they will not let you sell your shares because of liquidity problems. Big NO.

  • Fab20 Farhoud Moaddel (@Fab20) reported

    @IBKR Instead of these gimmicks, invest in a better customer experience and service. It is not good to refer to encyclopaedia of help pages, we need focused applied specific help in a timely manner.

  • Ver7ical Maximum Enthusiasm I Guess (@Ver7ical) reported

    @IBKR Damn you hedgehogs. Taking all the hedges. Refusing to share them!

  • pike0000 Pi Ke (@pike0000) reported

    What's wrong with InteractiveBrokers, keep getting 500 errors. The service is really unstable. @IBKR

  • Euoamerican Paolo (@Euoamerican) reported

    @IBKR The worst broker ever. The worst and slowest customer service ever. Avoid @ibkr !

  • dhirajktak DHIRAJ KUMAR TAK (@dhirajktak) reported

    @IBKR I am indian client but facing issues to reset password please update facility to change via email or mobile number

  • IDCluroe (((Ian Cluroe))) (@IDCluroe) reported

    @IBKR I've spoken to your customer service reps twice over the past week about withdrawing cash (after being on hold for a very long time). Both have given me incorrect information and you're holding MY money.

  • Falgun_86 Fal (@Falgun_86) reported

    @IBKR down before 30 minutes of opening #ASX ..Fix ASAP.... my $$$ and stocks are waiting

  • Spurious33 Spurious 𓂀 (@Spurious33) reported

  • startx00 . (@startx00) reported

    @IBKR Problem after activating ibkr key I cannot log in to my account, login failed, how do I cancel it? And return to the access feature via a verification code by text message

  • CacheThatCheque CTC (@CacheThatCheque) reported

    @AuditorInvestor @IBKR Was an interesting episode. Looks like you’re limited in options in fringe markets outside IB. Was interesting to hear in the episode that there were huge crashes in the Iraqi market but all the quality companies endured well and took off once things were stable. Fascinating

  • Fabien5828 Bob L'éponge (@Fabien5828) reported

    @pike0000 @IBKR I am in Taipei, so also redirect to IB Australia. You are right, it seems the issue was here, but it work fine today. Thank!

  • mwiercinski Maciej Wiercinski (@mwiercinski) reported

    @IBKR have you noticed your support and account management pages don't work?

  • Fab20 Farhoud Moaddel (@Fab20) reported

    @IBKR there is no one on chat help or phone support! You have a recording that says ‘due to market volatility’ for the last 2 years, mgt should get a grip and address the gross inadequacy in customer support. Your statements don’t have audit trail to understand charges.

  • karel_sevcik Karel Ševčík (@karel_sevcik) reported

    On 19th of February I applied for a pro sub account and at the moment it still isn´t ready. Care to help? @IBKR

  • Euoamerican Paolo (@Euoamerican) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR The worst broker ever! To avoid!

  • GrayTendo Gray (@GrayTendo) reported

    @IBKR In regard to the $GTII Warrant situation. Will you let Shareholders instruct you to transfer their Warrants to the Transfer Agent: Liberty Stock Transfer. I've had no success from your Customer service and have had only contradictory responses. Many thanks

  • Euoamerican Paolo (@Euoamerican) reported

    @BattalonTrading @IBKR Yes @ibkr is the worst broker ever! To avoid!

  • markusdavidson markus davidson (@markusdavidson) reported

    @IBKR trying to view "secure messages" on multiple devices and getting 500 Server error.

  • RichAndFineMan RichAndFineMan (@RichAndFineMan) reported

    @IBKR now i am getting code on phone but they are all wrong as per TWS. It doesn't let me login. I am so annoyed.

  • StockNick1 Stonk Nick (@StockNick1) reported

    @MattRiv2 @AlexDelarge6553 30x your time in 5 trading days. Wow wtf!! My broker doesn't let me trade this one even though it's pink current and is no different to a bunch of other otc plays I'm in. Care to answer @IBKR ??

  • Fab20 Farhoud Moaddel (@Fab20) reported

    @IBKR The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Have left several inquiries on messaging service with no reply for days/weeks, called several times and held for at least 40 minutes with no one picking up! Is nearly impossible to get any issue raised and resolved. Terrible!

    @pmje73 I thought @IBKR already serving this market through their Prime Service division.
