Pay Your Verizon Prepaid Phone Bill If you’re thinking about signing up for Verizon’s prepaid cell phone service, you might be wondering how to pay your bill each month. Fortunately, there are several ways to do this, allowing you to pay the way that best fits your life and financial situation. In fact, using just one of these ways to pay your Verizon prepaid cell phone bill can be enough to get you started – but if you have the time and flexibility in your budget, having more than one option available can give you peace of mind that comes from knowing that all of your bases are covered when it comes to paying your bill every month.

1) Verizon Prepaid App The Verizon app makes paying your bill a breeze. It's available for free download on Android and iPhone and offers all of your payment options in one place. The UI is simple and user-friendly, making it easy to check account balances, pay bills or even add funds via credit card. Just make sure you have enough money in your account before you initiate a payment; unlike many carriers, Verizon charges fees for insufficient funds. Remember that some services require a PIN number before initiating a payment from your mobile device or tablet so make sure you sign up for an online PIN as soon as possible. You'll need it for future payments or any time you call customer service (and are prompted).


2) Text Message Payment The quickest and easiest way to pay your prepaid bill is by using your text message. Just send a text message with PP, followed by a dollar sign ($) in front of your payment amount (i.e., PP $30) to 45555 from your wireless phone number that is registered with Top my cell. There will be a one-time $0.50 charge for sending and receiving a text message; however, we will waive it if you use auto-recharge or auto-pay.

3) By Mail 1-800-922-0204, option 1 (press 1) after connecting with a rep. If you’re calling from outside of US or Canada, press 0 for an international line. This can be used for credit or debit cards that use Visa/MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card networks. You will receive your PIN-code over the phone along with any amount due on your bill and what method of payment is available at that time. There may be long wait times depending on how many people are trying to pay their bills so if possible use another method listed below so that you can get through quickly and make payment sooner.

4) At Walmart You can pay for your Verizon prepaid phone at Walmart by going to a customer service counter. Tell them you would like to pay your Verizon prepaid bill in person. You can pay for your bill there with cash, check, or credit card. You cannot use Walmart’s Money Center at all for prepaid bills. If you want to make sure that there is no problem with their payment system then call 800-922-0204 and they will tell you if they are having any issues processing payments.

5) By Phone The quickest and easiest way to pay your Verizon prepaid phone bill is via telephone. To do so, call 866-509-7233. You’ll need your 16-digit card number or 10-digit phone number when you call. That’s it—no payments necessary! Since you can only pay by phone in $10 increments, keep that in mind if you want to make a big payment or need extra time to scrape together change.


How to get an extension with metro

Here are some simple guidelines to follow if you’re looking to get an extension with Metro. If you’re asking for an extension due to employment, be sure to bring proper documentation (with your employer’s contact information and the dates of employment clearly marked) from your current or previous employer(s). Be sure to make two copies of everything that you bring with you, and keep one copy with you during the meeting as well.

What is a metro card? There are currently two types of MetroCards in use, both of which are available for purchase through our website, at MetroCard vending machines, or at any station. The Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard is a discounted 30-day unlimited ride card that you can load with any dollar amount up to $112.50. With a Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard, you can take as many rides as you like and when your balance drops below $5.00 additional rides are free until it reaches $0.00 again (and more if you add more value). You can pay one time per ride and be sure that your card will be valid until it has been used for 30 days from your first trip or until its value has been completely depleted, whichever comes first.

What do I need to get an extension? In order to request an extension, you need to send a request from your registered email address. Your email should contain all of your registration information (including password and last name) as well as a brief description of what it is that


you are requesting. Extensions will not be granted if you do not provide full and accurate registration information. For security reasons, extensions will only be granted for 24 hours unless otherwise requested. Extensions for 72-hour periods are considered on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of your request. We reserve the right to deny requests at our discretion.

Where can I get my card extended It depends on what type of MetroCard you have. You can get a reduced-fare 30-day card for $30, while a regular 30-day card will cost you $121.50 (as of June 2015). If you use your card for a single ride and make several more in one day, you may be eligible for unlimited rides that day at no additional charge. But there are restrictions—you'll need to tap your card at a turnstile each time, rather than getting through via open gates or using fare machines. New York City residents over 65 can also apply for Reduced-Fare MetroCards through NYC Service Centers.

How much does it cost to extend my card? Extending your E-Card will cost $5 per day (up to 10 days in a row). You can pay for extensions at any Metrorail station or online. If you choose to pay online, there is a $1 convenience fee per transaction. To avoid the fee, you may purchase up to three consecutive 30-day periods (or 180 days) of service at one time. The price is discounted depending on how long you pre-purchase: A 30-day period costs $2.50; 60 days, $5; and 90 days, $7.50. No credit card is required if you add value via direct deposit! Visit our website for details and tips on extending your service before running out of data or trips.

Who can apply for extensions You can apply for extensions if you have a permanent residence (for example, a homestead) outside of Washington, but live or work in King County. To request an extension, call Metro Transit at 206-553-3000 (TTY Relay: 711). You may also visit your service center. Extensions must be paid within 30 days of ticket expiration. If you plan to be in King County for longer than 90 days and need extended bus service or ST Express bus service after 60 days, please call Customer Information at 206-553-3000 for more information about how to purchase another fare product.


What do you need when applying The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) provides a long list of proof-of-payment documents that can be used to establish residency. They are Marriage Certificate, Deed, Mortgage Bill or Lease Agreement, Insurance Policy for your vehicle(s), Voter Registration Card, Utility Bills (phone and utilities only), and W-2 form from your employer. If you can’t find any of these items, you will need two witnesses who are familiar with your home address and have documentation that shows they live in DC. You also need your Metro SmarTrip card handy while proving residency. While onboard, ask someone if they will serve as a witness for you by signing a sworn affidavit stating that you live at your current address along with their contact information.

Applying at the station If you’re traveling on Metrorail and need more time to travel, you can easily apply for a MetroExtra trip at any station. Simply ask a station manager, who will verify your account status, then generate a single-use ticket good for six additional hours of travel after your initial fare purchase. This allows you some extra flexibility in case of work, traffic, or weather delays.

Applying online To apply for a fare concession, you will need to visit your nearest Customer Service Centre at least four working days before your travel. If you are not able to visit one of our centers, please call us on 131 500 and we can help with your application over the phone.


How to Find Your MetroPCS Account Number

Did you know that you can check your MetroPCS account balance right from your smartphone? It’s easy to do once you know where to look! Here’s how to find your MetroPCS account number, so you can avoid overspending and keep an eye on what you have left.

Finding your 10-digit Phone Number You can find your 10-digit phone number by going into your Settings Menu. From there, select About Device. Once you’re in About Device, scroll down and look for Phone Number. Tap on Phone Number, and you’ll see your 10-digit phone number. If you have a CDMA device, it will also show your ESN (Electronic Serial Number). If you want to check out how much data is left on your plan or get a different plan altogether, tap Plans from the same menu. This will take you to all of MetroPCS’s current plans so that you can pick one that fits best with how much data usage you need each month. You should be able to view details about each plan like price and amount of high-speed data included per month so that it makes it easier for you to decide which one is right for you.

Finding your 20-digit SIM Card Number your SIM card is located inside your cell phone underneath your battery. To find it, remove your back cover and/or battery. The number will be on a sticker on top of or


underneath your SIM card. If you have trouble finding it, contact customer service for assistance.

Finding your 15-digit Account Number Your 15-digit account number can be found on your printed bill. Look for Account #, and it will appear on your bill directly below your name, address and phone number, as well as just above your first payment due date. In addition, you can always check your balance and service status by logging into MyMetro or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-MetroPCS (1-800-637-8377). This will only take a few minutes of your time but could save you a lot of frustration in avoiding additional charges that might have accumulated while you weren’t aware of them.

How to Recover a MetroPCS Account Number On Monday, T-Mobile announced that it had reached an agreement with Sprint to purchase its prepaid business. The acquisition has already begun and should be complete by mid-2017. How will T-Mobile’s merger affect you? When it comes time for customers on pre-paid plans to switch carriers, things might be easier than anticipated. Customers on prepaid plans are grandfathered into their contract until 2022, so you can keep your existing plan for two more years! Although you'll still need to change your phone number if you're looking for a new carrier, in most cases you'll only have to ask your current carrier for a release—and that's usually pretty easy.

Conclusion If you want to add a phone line or make any changes, your account number is one of several information elements you'll need. In order to view your account, log into your MyMetro profile and click on Profile in the header at the top of your screen. Click on Account and then Account Management in the subheader at the top right. Here, you can choose whether you'd like to view general details about your account or add a new line for service. The latter option will also give you additional instructions regarding how and where to send money for activation (if required). Pay close attention as it could be helpful if service is added at a later date but forgotten about until some time later on.
