Let's face it, even the most die-hard news junkie needs a break sometimes.

Whatever the reason, you've decided to put your beloved Philadelphia Inquirer on hold. But fear not, intrepid reader, for this guide will be your compass through the murky waters of subscription suspension!

| How Do I Put My Philadelphia Inquirer On Hold |
Calling in the Cavalry (Customer Service, That Is)
The most reliable way to put your Inquirer on hold is by contacting their customer service team. Yes, we know, visions of endless hold music and conversations with robots may dance in your head. But hey, think of it as an opportunity to practice your best "Philly Cheesesteak" accent (optional, but highly encouraged). Here's the battle cry (phone number, we mean) you need: 215-222-2765. Their hours of operation are:
- Weekdays: 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM ET
- Weekends: 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM ET
Pro Tip: Calling closer to opening hours might minimize your hold time. Who knows, maybe you'll even get treated to some local Philly gossip while you wait!
The Dreaded Hold Time: How to Survive
Let's be honest, hold times can be brutal. But fear not, intrepid adventurer! Here are some tips to keep you sane:
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
- Podcast Power: Download a few episodes of your favorite podcast beforehand. Laughter is the best medicine, even if it's courtesy of a true-crime story (just don't get too paranoid while you're waiting).
- Audiobook Adventure: Immerse yourself in a captivating audiobook. By the time you connect with a representative, you might be halfway through a thrilling fantasy novel (who needs dragons when you have real-world news, anyway?).
- Musical Mayhem: Crank up some upbeat tunes! A little air guitar never hurt anyone (except maybe your neighbors, but hey, they're probably on hold too!).
The Return of the Inquirer: Waking Up Your Subscription
Once you've braved the hold time and spoken to a lovely customer service representative, be sure to confirm the restart date for your subscription. This way, you won't return from your travels to a world overflowing with back issues (unless that's your thing, no judgment!).
Remember: You can also suspend your delivery online for certain retailers that sell the Inquirer. But since the Inquirer itself doesn't currently offer online management, calling customer service is the way to go for now.
