How to Pay Your Verizon Bill (2024)

Paying with the My Verizon app

The easiest way for most people to pay their Verizon bill is by using the My Verizon App, which is available for your (brand new …) iOS or Android phone. It is, after all, an app that was built just to help you manage your account.

Once you’ve downloaded the app, you can pay your bill by following these steps:

Looking to ditch your Verizon bill altogether?

Verizon operates the most powerful wireless network in the country. But it’s also among the most expensive carriers. If you’re ready to ditch the pricey phone bill, then check out our picks for the best cheap cell phone plans.

Paying on Verizon’s website

Pay online with an active My Verizon account

Once you’re signed in, follow these steps to pay your Verizon bill:

3. Type in the amount you’d like to pay and when you’d like the payment to be sent.
4. Click Continue.
5. Read through the payment information to make sure it’s correct and review the Terms and Conditions (*cough* just click accept *cough*).
6. Hit Send Payment.

That’s it: bill paid. Woohoo!

Pay online without a My Verizon account

Once you’re on the site, just follow these steps:

1. Enter the billing zip code and either your Verizon cell phone number or Verizon account number. If you’re trying to pay a bill on a disconnected account you will need the account number and the zip code.
2. Once you’ve entered your account information, select your payment option you want to use.
3. Review the transaction to make sure the information is correct.
4. Select Send Payment.

That should work. But I’ll add one small, anecdotal sidenote here.

I was, for a time, in charge of paying my nephew's Verizon phone bill (long story, don’t ask). I didn’t have access to his phone or My Verizon account, so I tried to use the non-member bill pay page (as described above). It was a nightmare every time, and so I just ended up using the pay-by-phone option (which was also not ideal). The moral of this story is: signing up for a My Verizon account might be worth it in the long run.

Paying by phone

So you want to pay your bill the old school way. Verizon’s got your back.

Here are the steps for paying your Verizon bill by phone:

1. Call #PMT from your Verizon mobile phone or +1-800-922-0204 from any phone.
2. Follow the automated prompts to make your payment.

Bill. Payed. Radical! (Are my taglines getting better or worse?)

Paying through the mail

Is paying by phone not old school enough for you? Do you want an excuse to use your personalized wax letter seal and Contemporary Boutonniere and Garden Corsage stamps? We thought so.

You can pay your Verizon bill by snail mail by following these steps:

1. Enclose a personal check or money order for the amount of your bill, addressed to “Verizon Wireless.”
2. Send the payment to your nearest payment address, which you can find using this Verizon webpage.

It might take a while for your payment to arrive, but it’s between the Postal Service and Verizon now.

Paying at a Verizon store

So you want to get up, leave the house, and pay your bill in the store. What a show off.

Just kidding. We’re kidding. Going into the store is a great way to pay your bill.

Just tell the customer service worker at the retail store that you’d like to pay your bill, and they’ll help you out. Or, if you're trying to get in and out quickly, you can use a Bill Pay Kiosk. While you’re there, you can ask about upgrading to an unlimited data plan.
