Thankfully, Spectrum customers have plenty of simple and quick options for paying their bills. The six simple payment methods in this article will work for Spectrum WiFi® and Internet, TV, or Mobile customers (or all three).

Read on to make paying your Spectrum bill quick and easy, whether you pay online, over the phone, using an app, or even in person.

Pay your Spectrum bill with the My Spectrum App

One of the easiest ways to pay your Spectrum bill is to use the My Spectrum App. Just download the app on your Android or iOS device (if you haven’t already) and follow these steps.

  1. Sign in to the app with your username and password. You may need to create a new username if you haven’t done that before.
  2. Tap the Billing tab.
  3. Select Make Payment.
  4. Enter payment information (if you haven’t already).
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to pay, the payment method, and the date that you want your payment to be processed.
  6. Tap the Make Payment button and make sure you get a confirmation saying that the payment was successful.
With Spectrum, any late fee will be automatically added to your bill.
Heads Up
How is the My Spectrum app?

The My Spectrum app is so-so, according to customers. Robyn Straw in St. Cloud, Missouri complains of the long waits when using the app to contact customer service, while fellow Spectrum customer and Reddit user Osmosis_Vanderwal calls the app “absolute garbage.”

Pay your Spectrum bill online

If you don’t have the app, or don’t want to use it, then you can easily pay your Spectrum Internet®, TV, or Mobile bill using your internet browser. Just go to Spectrum.net and follow these steps.

  1. Sign in with your username and password. Make sure you’re using the “Primary” or “Admin” account.
  2. Click on the Billing tab.
  3. Select the Make a Payment button.
  4. Enter your credit card or checking account information (if you don’t have a saved payment method).
  5. Select the amount you’d like to pay, the date you want the payment to go through, and the preferred payment method.
  6. Look for a confirmation message.

If you’re big on paying bills through quick and painless methods, you can also enroll in Paperless Billing through the Spectrum app. It’s the quickest way to get statements for your Spectrum TV, Spectrum Mobile, or Spectrum Internet bill.

Enroll in autopay to save time

While Spectrum doesn’t give you a discount for enrolling in autopay, it can make your life a lot easier. You can set up autopay for your Spectrum Internet or Spectrum TV account using the My Spectrum app or the company’s website. Just select the Billing tab and follow the Enroll in Auto Pay button.

Once you’ve enrolled in autopay, relax and enjoy the benefits of automatic payment!

Pay your Spectrum bill over the phone

If you’re computer shy (or just don’t have easy access to the web), you can pay your Spectrum bill over the phone with Spectrum's customer service. Call (833) 267-6094 to reach Spectrum’s automated bill payment system.

Follow the automated system’s instructions to pay with a checking account, debit card, or credit card. To speed up the process, you may need to share either your Spectrum account number or the phone number associated with it.

And while you're on the phone with Spectrum customer service, you might as well try negotiating your monthly price. You can start by asking about Spectrum's cheapest plans.

Pay your Spectrum bill through your bank

You may be able to use your bank’s mobile app or website to set up an automatic transfer or bill payment between your bank account and Spectrum account. Add Spectrum (or Charter Communication) as a payee and then enter the amount you want to transfer and the date you want to make the payment.

You may have to enter an address for the payment. You can find this address on your personal billing statement. Contact your bank if you have any questions about setting this up.

Pay your Spectrum bill in store

If you want to pay your Spectrum bill in cash, or you just want to make a transaction face-to-face, use your ZIP code to find a local Spectrum store. Once there, just walk in and tell the nearest employee that you’d like to pay your Spectrum bill.

Pay your Spectrum bill by mail

You can always pay your Spectrum bill the old-school way: by putting a check in the mail.

To do this, just write a check for the full amount on your billing statement. Make it out to Spectrum. (Add Charter Communication to the name if you’d like.) Be sure to put your account number on your check so that it’s credited to the right account.

Put the check in an envelope along the remittance portion of your most recent Spectrum statement. Then find the right address on your billing statement, throw a stamp on that thing and put it in the mail!

Beware: it can take several days or even weeks for your payment to be processed by mail. If you need to make a payment fast, it’s better to use the app or website.
