Support via HelpDesk system - https://d5t5.com/helpdesk/

Historically our support has been the weakest point, therefore we decided to organise and centralise support channels creating a ticketing HelpDesk system via our website. Currently there are around 16,000 users and still growing. We receive hundreds of calls, emails, facebook and instagram messages, SMS and WhatsApps via our personal channel which is confusing and inefficient..
Now everybody in D5T5 will receive the message sent thru HelpDesk and this will streamline and speed up our support!
Please, use ONLY HelpDesk, other channels are no longer supported.
