Verizon offers a variety of convenient methods for paying your monthly wireless bill and managing your device payment plans. Whether you prefer the ease of online payments, the personal touch of in-store transactions, or the traditional approach of mail-in payments, Verizon provides a flexible system to suit your needs.
Paying Your Monthly Cell Phone Bill
You have several options for paying your recurring Verizon wireless bill:
Online and Mobile App:
- My Verizon App: The most convenient way to manage your account and make payments is through the My Verizon app on your smartphone or tablet. You can view your bill, make a one-time payment, and set up Auto Pay.
- My Verizon Website: Similarly, you can log in to your My Verizon account on a computer to access all the same payment features as the mobile app.
Payment by Phone:
- You can make a payment by calling Verizon’s automated payment system. Simply dial #PMT from your Verizon mobile phone or call (800) 922-0204 from any phone.
In-Person Payments:
- Verizon Stores: You can pay your bill at any corporate Verizon store.
- Authorized Retailers: Many authorized retailers also accept bill payments.
- CheckFreePay and Western Union: Select locations of these services allow you to pay your Verizon bill, often with cash or a debit card.
Mail-in Payments:
- You can mail a check or money order to the payment address listed on your paper bill.
Accepted Payment Methods:
Verizon accepts a wide range of payment methods, including:
- Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
- Debit cards
- Bank account (checking or savings)
- Verizon Gift Cards
- Verizon Dollars
Payment Arrangements:
If you are facing temporary financial difficulty and cannot pay your bill by the due date, Verizon offers payment arrangements. You may be able to schedule a future payment date or split your payment into two installments. These arrangements can typically be set up through your My Verizon account.
Managing Your Verizon Device Payment Plan
The Verizon Device Payment program allows you to finance the cost of a new smartphone, tablet, or other device over a series of monthly installments, typically 36 months. Here’s what you need to know about managing these payments:
How it Works:
- Your monthly device payment is a separate line item on your regular wireless bill.
- The payments are interest-free.
- The total cost of the device is divided into equal monthly installments.
Paying Off Your Device:
You have the flexibility to pay off your device payment agreement at any time. There are no prepayment penalties. You can make a lump-sum payment to cover the remaining balance through:
- Your My Verizon account (app or website): This is the easiest way to view your remaining balance and make a payoff payment.
- Contacting Verizon Customer Service: A representative can assist you with the payoff process.
- Visiting a Verizon Store: You can also make a payoff payment at a corporate Verizon store.
Upgrading Your Device:
Once you have paid off your device in full, you are eligible to upgrade to a new device and enter into a new device payment agreement. Information regarding your upgrade eligibility can be found in your My Verizon account.
