How do I raise an inquiry online?
Please visit My requests application, where you can create, view and manage your enquiries in a secure environment.
You will need your IBM User ID and password to access My requests.
Your request will already be populated with the data you supplied when you registered with IBM. You need only supply the information that is specific to your request and press submit.
A submission notification will confirm the details of your request.
You will receive a response from an IBM representative within one business day, either in the form of an e-mail from ‘My requests’ with a link to your answer and any related documentation or directly by a Customer Support Team representative if an answer requires further research or information. You are notified of final responses via an automated e-mail which refers you to the response details in the My requests application so that you can have easy access to the request at any time.
Learn more about My requests or contact our Customer Support OnLine Center on +852-2825-6222 for more information.
Why should I obtain an IBM User ID and password?
An IBM User ID and password gives you access to our web tools which can help you manage your IBM account. With an IBM User ID and password you can request entitlement to various e-tools such as Order Status OnLine and Invoices On-Line. Learn more about registration and the e-tools available in your country.
Please supply the following information when registering for your IBM User ID:
- User ID (in e-mail format, e.g. jdoe@hk.ibm.com; this will be checked against IBM records to verify it is not in use by another previously registered user)
- Password (8 character minimum)
- A security challenge question and answer
- Personal information: Country of residence, language preference, first name, last name, e-mail address, daytime telephone number
- Company information: Company name, street address, city, state or province, zip or postal code and country location (of the business address)
Accuracy and detail are very important to future online transactions and e-tool entitlement.
Note that failure to provide any of the required fields prevents the user from completing IBM Registration.
As required by local data protection regulations, you will also be required to confirm that IBM may store and use your Personal Information to contact you and to export your Personal Information outside your country of residence.
My IBM equipment is out of order, I have no Maintenance Agreement, what will happen if I request an IBM Customer Engineer call out?
For all requests with no Maintenance Agreement, you can get the appropriate technical support by calling IBM Technical Services at: +852 8205-8233. This support will be billed according to the hourly Per Call Maintenance Terms and Conditions.
How do I cancel my service and what is the cancellation period?

What is the cancellation period if I would like to cancel my maintenance contract?
