Where to log in for Fios bill payment
You log in to pay your Fios bill through the My Verizon portal at verizon.com. This is the single login page for all Verizon services — internet, TV, and phone if you have them bundled. You will need your Verizon account number or the phone number associated with your account, plus your password.
If you do not have a My Verizon account yet, you can create one on the same page. You will be asked to verify your identity using your account number and either a PIN or the last four digits of the Social Security number on file. This takes a few minutes the first time.
Once logged in, your bill appears under the "Billing" section. You can see what you owe, when it is due, and a breakdown of charges for internet, TV, and phone service. The payment option is clearly marked on that page.

How to pay your bill once you are logged in
After you log in and navigate to the Billing section, click "Pay Bill" or "Make a Payment." You will see your current balance and the due date. Verizon lets you pay the full amount, a partial amount, or set up a recurring automatic payment.
To pay once, enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment method: debit card, credit card, or bank account. Verizon does not charge a fee for debit or bank account payments, but credit card payments may carry a processing fee depending on the card issuer. The payment posts within one to two business days.
If you want to avoid logging in each month, you can set up automatic payments directly from your bank account or debit card. This option is in the same Billing section under "Manage Autopay." Once set up, your bill is paid automatically on your chosen date each month, and you receive a confirmation email.
What to do if you forget your password
Click "Forgot Password" on the My Verizon login page. Verizon will send a password reset link to the email address on file. Check your inbox and spam folder, then click the link to create a new password. The reset link is valid for 24 hours.
If you do not have access to the email on file, you can reset your password by answering security questions or verifying your identity with your account number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. This process takes a few minutes and does not require you to call customer service.
Payment methods Verizon accepts
Verizon accepts payment through multiple channels, so you can choose what works for you. Online through My Verizon is the fastest — your payment posts within one to two business days. You can also pay by phone by calling 1-800-922-0204, which takes about five minutes.
If you prefer to mail a check, send it to the address printed on your bill. Mail payments take seven to ten business days to post, so send it early if your due date is soon. You can also set up automatic payments from your bank account, which is the most reliable way to never miss a due date.
Verizon does not accept cash, money orders, or third-party checks. If you are paying in person, some Verizon retail stores accept payment, but this is not available at all locations — call ahead to confirm.
Understanding your bill before you pay
Your Fios bill breaks down into separate line items: internet service, TV service (if you have it), phone service (if you have it), and any equipment rental fees. Each line shows the monthly charge. If you have promotional pricing, it appears as a discount on that line.
Look for any charges you do not recognize. Common additions include premium TV channels, on-demand purchases, or equipment upgrades. If you see something wrong, contact Verizon before you pay — you can dispute the charge or ask them to remove it. Once you pay, disputing becomes harder.
Your bill also shows taxes and regulatory fees, which vary by location. These are added to your subtotal. The due date is printed clearly at the top of the bill, usually 21 days from the bill date.
Troubleshooting login and payment problems
If you cannot log in, first check that you are using the correct username. Verizon accepts either your account number (a 10-digit number on your bill) or the phone number associated with your account. If you are still locked out after three failed attempts, wait 30 minutes before trying again — Verizon temporarily blocks the account for security.
If your payment fails, the most common reason is an expired or incorrect card number. Check that your card details are current and that the billing address matches your card issuer's records. If you are paying from a bank account, confirm that the account number and routing number are correct.
If you see an error message like "Payment could not be processed," try again in a few minutes — Verizon's system may be temporarily unavailable. If the problem persists, call 1-800-922-0204 to pay by phone or speak with a representative about what went wrong.
Setting up automatic payments to avoid missed bills
Automatic payments are the easiest way to ensure your bill is paid on time every month. Log in to My Verizon, go to Billing, and select "Manage Autopay." Choose your payment method (bank account or debit card) and the date you want the payment to come out each month.
Verizon sends you a confirmation email once autopay is set up. You will also receive an email a few days before each payment is processed, so you can verify the amount and cancel if needed. If your bill changes month to month (for example, if you use overage charges), autopay still works — Verizon charges the full amount due, not a fixed amount.
You can change or cancel autopay anytime in the same section. There is no penalty for canceling, and you can switch back to manual payments whenever you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Fios bill without creating a My Verizon account?
Yes. You can pay by phone at 1-800-922-0204, by mail, or through automatic bank draft without logging into My Verizon. However, creating an account takes only a few minutes and lets you see your bill anytime, track payment history, and manage your services online.
Does Verizon charge a fee to pay my bill online?
No fee for debit card or bank account payments. Credit card payments may carry a fee from your card issuer, not from Verizon. The fee amount depends on your bank or credit card company, not on Verizon's system.
How long does it take for my online payment to show up on my account?
Online payments typically post within one to two business days. If you pay close to your due date and are worried about a late fee, call Verizon to confirm the payment was received — they can often note it in your account immediately, even if it has not fully posted yet.
What if I pay too much by accident?
Verizon will credit the overpayment to your next bill. You can also request a refund by calling 1-800-922-0204, though this takes longer than letting it roll to your next month's balance.
Can I set up autopay for just part of my bill?
No. Autopay charges the full amount due each month. If you want to pay a partial amount regularly, you will need to log in and make manual payments each month, or call to arrange a custom payment plan.
