Rated 1 out of 5 by AnUnHappySmartfriendCusto from Don't by smartfriend for your HP I had a terrible experience with smartfriend. They are not smart at all. I never got to ask my question. The only thing I got is questions like how many ports do you have, what's your serial number, etc. etc. The person said they are more of a software person than a hardware person. Well, I just bought a new HP and I have hardware questions. Things like: how do I connect multiple computers. When the person picked up the phone, they knew my name and my phone number, but nothing about the device I bought. That is not how a consumer grade experience should work. How it should: I call. They recognize my number, they have my order at their fingertips, the computer configuration and start helping me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Galloway from The Flying Z-Book. David has been Professional and Knowledgeable in getting my new Z-Book setup, even though he was having to over come my 1st HP Rep NOT telling me that I would need a PCmover Cable and LINK even when I asked him what would I need to Completely transfer the Data from my EliteBook over to my New Z-Book. I Received the Cable but still have NOT Received my LINK, which David Needs. I would give David a 10, and I waited an extra 2 Days so he would be the one to Completely setup my New HP Z-Book.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Barbara CG from Inaccurate information and no help or service The rep who “sold” the SmartFriend service to me misrepresented what it would cover. I called HP to receive help and was told that SmartFriend was not by HP - but was a 3rd party offering - and she could not provide me any help. So I obviously have paid for something totally useless to me.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Theron56 from Quick answer I paid for six months to ask one question. The answer was your hard drive is bad so you should get a new computer. How do I get a return for the other five months?

I have a SmartFriend Service Agreement with a monthly subscription and am interested in learning the cost of a six month and one year plan. I would guess those plans would provide the same coverage and be more cost effective.

Also, why is it so difficult to locate information on my SmartFriend Agreement Plan? I am trying to locate the page that shows my monthly payment for accounting purposes.

I downloaded MF5900dw print drivers for my Canon laser printer. I am able to print a test page from the Canon software but can not print from Microsoftware Office, Google email or anything else. I tried wireless setup and cable neither one worked.
