The majority of people call Netflix to resolve issues relating to accessing accounts, consulting tech support for using their app/devices and changing/canceling subscription plans. Upon calling Netflix, you'll stay on the line for English or press 5 for Spanish.
If you're already a Netflix customer, the automated recording directs you to log in online at their website using your account info, and then enter into the phone's keypad a six-digit service code found at the bottom of the webpage. This method provides faster service over the phone.
Since I don't have a Neflix account, I couldn't take advantage of this expedited method. So, I waited for menu options but received none; instead, I was placed on hold to speak with a customer service representative. Music played, and then, the call went silent, so I hung up and called back.
I repeated the process by waiting on hold and was told by the automated system that my call would be answered in about 30 seconds. In about that time, a representative came on the line and asked if I had a current account. Since I was a new customer, she proceeded to share the variety of plans offered through Netflix, starting with a basic $6.99 monthly plan that allows you to watch limited shows and movies with ads up to a premium $22.99 monthly subscription for unlimited shows and movies with no ads.
In addition, the rep explained that you can access your Netflix subscription on multiple devices, based on the plan you purchase and can watch online through the website on a tablet, on a TV or via the app on any device. There are no contracts, she added, and you can cancel at any time. She reminded me that the monthly subscription payment will be processed automatically at the beginning of each billing cycle.
The rep was knowledgeable and patient without being pushy or persistent. She advised me to sign up online by choosing any plan, creating a password and adding a payment method. I was curious about any promotions, deals or trials that Netflix offers, but she confirmed that currently, there are no trial periods. She suggested I sign up for the basic subscription to try it out and upgrade to another plan at anytime.
She also shared that I could purchase a $25 gift card at any local retailer or online to try Netflix for a short time. This way, I could watch Netflix until the gift card amount runs out before making a decision. Gift cards are redeemed online.
Once I asked all my questions, the rep ensured that I had everything I needed before we hung up, and she again directed me to the website to set up an account once I was ready. While the website has extensive links to online help, I found calling customer support to be a productive and supportive use of time, thanks to an efficient and accessible team.

Trying to reach Netflix for help with your account? If so, watch out for this crafty con. Scammers provide fake customer support numbers online and fool callers into purchasing unrelated computer software.
Here's how the scam works. You are having trouble with your Netflix account, so you search online for the customer support phone number. A quick search turns up what appears to be a legitimate toll-free number (1-888 or 1-844 number). You dial it, and a "representative" answers. This person declares that your Netflix account has been hacked. In one version, the scammer claimed a dozen people from across the globe all used a victim's account.
Skeptical? The "representative" says they can provide proof that your account was hacked. But first, they need remote access to your computer. Unfortunately, granting a scammer access can open you up to the risk of identity theft.
Scam artists can install malware that records passwords or hunts for personal information, such as bank account numbers. However, according to BBB Scam Tracker reports, this scam appears to be a pretext for selling computer security software. The expensive software - victims report paying between $200 and $900 - will do nothing to fix your Netflix account, which was never hacked in the first place.
A year later I upgraded my computer and was going to sell the one I got last year, I went to do a full wipe of the drive and install Ventura OS. Upon setting it up and connecting to the internet I was presented with a message stating my device can be configured my Netflix remotely.
Of course I have no way of contacting Netflix IT to resolve this as I feel this is some mistake. Is there any way to get this unmanaged or removed? When I continue with the setup it takes to a screen where at the bottom I can see different servers like jamfcloud as if its trying to connect and then it brings me to a screen to sign in to google, if I do that it just errors out. My only way to bypass is to not connect to the internet but I had to downgrade back to Monetary in order to do so.
Hi. Unfortunately there is nothing anyone here on this forum can do to help with this (unless they happen to work in Netflix IT). What you're seeing is the device is enrolled in Apple Business Manager, and is trying to redirect the device to enroll in Netflix's MDM, which it sounds like is a Jamf cloud server. There's no way for an end user to bypass this. Only the company that the device is registered to can assist you.
If I may ask, where did you buy the Mac from? Was it someone selling it personally or a reseller of some kind? I'm sorry to say it, but there's as much a possibility that this Mac was stolen property and sold to you as it is that it's just a mistake on Netflix's part. The latter can and does happen of course. Sometimes devices are sold from a company and they forget to remove the device from Apple Business Manager.
If you're wondering why you didn't see the enrollment message back when you got it, but are seeing it now, well, a Mac can be enrolled in Apple Business Manager, but not actually be assigned to do remote enrollment on the Jamf server, and then later can be put into the queue for remote enrollment. So it's possible it wasn't set for enrollment at first, but somewhere along the line, got assigned to do the remote enrollment by someone at Netflix.
Sorry, I wish I could offer something more, but the only way to resolve this will be to somehow get in touch with Netflix corporate office and see if they can direct you to someone in their IT division. A quick Google search pulls this up for the numbers - (408) 540-3700 or (408) 540-3737. I would not try their regular customer service number as this is just for helping people with their Netflix accounts. I'm not surprised they have no idea where to direct you when you speak to them.

I hate to say it, but it's just as possible this is a stolen Mac sold to you as it is that Netflix made a mistake. Especially if you bought it from a person on the internet. Mistakes can and do sometimes happen. Occasionally companies sell older devices and forget to release them from Apple Business Manager, but they should be able to help you figure out the deal with it.
