Call Xfinity customer service to pay your bill over the phone
You can pay your Xfinity bill by calling Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489. A representative will ask for your account number (found on your bill) and process your payment using a debit card, credit card, or bank account. The call typically takes five to ten minutes.
Payments made by phone are processed immediately if you call during business hours (usually 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET, seven days a week, though hours vary by region). If you call outside these hours, your payment will be scheduled for the next business day. There is no fee for paying by phone.
Have your payment method ready before you call. You will need either a debit or credit card number, or your bank account and routing number if paying from a checking or savings account. Keep your confirmation number — the representative will give you one at the end of the call.

What information you need before calling
Gather these details before you dial so the call moves faster. You will need your Xfinity account number, which appears on your bill in the upper right corner or on your account statement. You will also need the phone number or service address associated with your account — the representative will use one of these to pull up your account.
Have your payment method ready: either a debit or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover), or your bank account and routing number. The representative will not ask for your full Social Security number or password, only the last four digits of your card or account number for verification.
Payment methods accepted over the phone
Xfinity accepts debit cards, credit cards, and bank account payments (ACH transfers from checking or savings accounts). All major credit card brands are accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
If you pay from a bank account, the funds are typically withdrawn within one to two business days. Credit and debit card payments are processed immediately during business hours. There is no difference in processing time or fees between payment methods — all phone payments are free.
When your payment will show up on your account
Payments made by phone during business hours show up in your Xfinity account within 24 hours. You can check your account status by logging into your Xfinity account online or through the Xfinity mobile app to confirm the payment was received.
If you are paying a past-due balance, the payment will reduce your outstanding balance immediately, but your service will not be restored automatically if it was shut off. Contact Xfinity again after your payment clears to request service restoration, which usually happens within a few hours.
What to do if you cannot pay the full amount
If you cannot pay your full bill, tell the representative during your call. Xfinity offers payment plans for customers who are behind on their balance. The representative can set up a plan that spreads your past-due amount across multiple months, with a portion due each billing cycle.
Ask about the Xfinity Hardship Program if you are experiencing financial difficulty. This program may offer temporary rate reductions or extended payment terms. The representative can explain what you would need to do to be considered, though the program's terms and availability vary by location and situation.
Alternatives to paying by phone
If you prefer not to call, you can pay your Xfinity bill online through your account at xfinity.com, through the Xfinity mobile app, by mail, or in person at an Xfinity store. Online and app payments are processed instantly and available 24/7. Mail payments take seven to ten business days to reach Xfinity and be posted to your account.
You can also set up automatic payments through your Xfinity account so your bill is paid on the same date each month from your bank account or card. This removes the need to remember to pay and ensures your service is not interrupted by a missed payment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee for paying my Xfinity bill by phone?
No. Xfinity does not charge a fee for phone payments. All payment methods — debit card, credit card, and bank account — are free when you pay by phone.
Can I pay someone else's Xfinity bill by phone?
Yes, but the account holder or an authorized user must be on the call. The representative will verify the account holder's identity before processing the payment. If you are not the account holder, ask the account holder to call on your behalf or add you as an authorized user first.
What if I do not have my account number?
You can still pay by phone. The representative can look up your account using your phone number or service address instead. Have one of these ready when you call.
How long does a phone payment take to process?
Payments made during business hours are processed immediately and show in your account within 24 hours. Payments made outside business hours are scheduled for the next business day. Bank account payments (ACH) may take one to two business days to withdraw from your account.
What should I do if my service was shut off for non-payment?
Call to make your payment first. After your payment clears, call again and ask for service restoration. Restoration usually happens within a few hours during business hours, though it may take longer on weekends or holidays.
