Customer Service Tips for Cox Customers
Have these ready before you call. Account number, service address or billing ZIP, last bill amount, and preferred payment method.
How to read charges on a Cox bill. Cox bills typically itemize internet, Contour TV, phone, Cox Mobile, Homelife, equipment, taxes, and fees. Check the line-item detail in your Cox account to see which package or add-on drove a change.
How to lower your bill. Compare the latest statement against your plan charges, equipment rental, add-ons, and promotions that may have expired. Cancel unused add-ons in your Cox account. If the challenge is timing cash flow rather than reducing recurring costs, Deferit's Pay-in-4 option can split your bill in 4 installments, subject to eligibility.
