Lumen help
If you'd like to pay your Lumen invoice online using a credit card, you can. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. We charge a convenience fee (for each account) to pay with a credit or debit card. You can avoid this fee if you pay by bank account. Having trouble making a payment? Learn how to troubleshoot bill-payment problems.
If you'd like your invoice to be paid automatically each month, you can enroll in Autopay.
Note: 10-digit (CABS) billing account numbers are not eligible for online payment. To make a payment for these accounts, please call 800-603-6000.
