How to restart your CenturyLink service

If your account has been suspended for non-payment, there are two ways to pay and get your service restored:

Pay online. This is the quickest and easiest option.
Pay by automated phone system

You will need to pay the full balance on your suspended account to restore service. If you are unable to pay your bill in full, you can set up a payment plan.

Pay online

You can pay online on the My CenturyLink website or in the app.

We can no longer accept payments without account authentication for security reasons. Please sign in to My CenturyLink to pay your bill, or set up autopay for easy monthly payments.

Pay by phone

You can use either your account number or the phone number and zip code that are attached to your CenturyLink account. You will receive a confirmation number at the end of the transaction. If you do not get a confirmation number, your transaction is not complete, and you need to chat with us to get this resolved.

One-time payment convenience fee

There is a convenience fee when you use a credit or debit card to make a one-time payment in My CenturyLink or with an agent.

Avoid the fee by using a bank account when making a one-time online payment through My CenturyLink or by enrolling in AutoPay.

Whether you pay online or by phone, here's what to expect:

Service will typically be back on within 24 hours
You can make the payment anytime, day or night
Once you pay, an order to restart service will be created automatically; you do NOT need to contact us after you've made your payment

Note: You can also pay your bill by mail or in person, but your service will be restored only after your payment is posted to your account. Payments made on a weekend or holiday may be delayed until the next business week. Contact us and tell us if you've made a payment in one of these ways. If we hear from you, we can work to get your service turned on faster.
