Customers must call the phone number in their local area to remit payment.

Questions About Your Billing Statement or Account?

Do you have questions about your Optimum billing statement or account that were not covered in your initial contract? We suggest you visit the Optimum customer care FAQs. You also have the ability to receive additional information from customer service by calling 1-877-273-7626.

How the Penalty Fees Work

Optimum will charge consumers late payment fees if they do not remit payment by the due date listed on the bill. It is best to call the local customer service number listed in the payment section of this article for more information on fees and possible payment plans. Other fees assessed by Optimum may include:

  • Returned check free
  • Security deposit

I Can’t Make a Payment

Optimum does not discuss payment options if a customer is having trouble paying a cable bill. In some states, a partial payment will be applied to the telephone bill first because that service is considered more important than cable or Internet services. There is likely a payment plan option with Optimum. It is always best to contact customer service as soon as you realize you are financially unable to make payment in full.

Will They Work With Me to Pay My Bill?

Optimum offers very little information for the consumer looking to resolve a past due bill. Do you have first-hand experience with this company? Tell us how they work with past due account balances and help other consumers take control of their finances.
