We understand that sometimes payments can be missed. If you've received a notification about an overdue payment, here’s what you need to know.



Scenario 1: Paying off my balance


The easiest way to resolve an overdue payment is to pay the balance through your Client Portal.


  1. Log in to your Client Portal.
  2. Go to the Billing section and click on Invoices.
  3. From here, you can settle your outstanding balance.


To avoid future issues, you can also set up automatic payments by checking the Automatic Payment box in the Payment Method section.




Scenario 2: I am unable to make a payment right now.


If you're unable to pay your full outstanding balance, your services may be suspended. To avoid interruption or to have your services reconnected, the full amount owed must be paid.


You can easily pay your balance through your Client Portal. If you have any questions about your bill, our customer service team is here to help.




Scenario 3: I was disconnected and would like to pay off my balance to be reconnected


In this case, reach out to our Customer Care team right away to let them know you have paid off your entire balance or would like to. Once we become aware of this, we can deposit a reconnection request to our line provider. The process of being reconnected can take a minimum of 72 hours.
