  • Frontier Internet Customer Service: Outages, Billing, Wi-Fi & Complaints

Frontier Communications, commonly known as Frontier Internet, provides fiber internet, broadband internet, home phone, TV and streaming add-ons, and business connectivity services in many U.S. markets. Customers may need Frontier support for outages, slow speeds, installation problems, billing issues, equipment returns, cancellations, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, account access, phone service problems, or complaints.

The best way to reach Frontier depends on the issue. Frontier now routes many customer-service and technical-support issues through online chat, the Frontier Help Center, the MyFrontier app, and account-specific support tools. Phone support is still available for customer help, sales, payments, multilingual support, and some business or enterprise issues.

How to Contact Frontier Customer Service

Best Way to Reach Frontier by Issue

Internet Outage or Service Interruption

If your Frontier internet is completely out, start by checking Frontier’s outage tool or signing in to your account. You can also use Frontier chat or call 1-800-921-8101. Have your account number, service address, phone number on the account, and the time the outage started ready.

Slow Internet or Wi-Fi Problems

For slow speeds, weak Wi-Fi, dropped connections, or router issues, use Frontier’s troubleshooting tools, restart your router or eero device, check for outages, and test the connection near the router before contacting support. If the issue continues, contact Frontier through chat or call 1-800-921-8101.

Billing, Payments, and Account Questions

For billing questions, late fees, autopay problems, paper bill fees, missing payments, or account access issues, sign in to your Frontier account or use the MyFrontier app. To make a payment by phone through the automated system, call 1-800-917-7489 and have your 17-digit Frontier account number ready.

Installation, Missed Appointments, and Technician Visits

If your issue involves a new installation, delayed activation, missed appointment, or incomplete technician visit, check your order or ticket status online. Keep the appointment date, order number, ticket number, technician notes, and any installation confirmation emails.

Equipment Returns

If you cancel service, replace equipment, or receive upgraded equipment, confirm whether Frontier requires the old equipment to be returned. Frontier says required equipment should be returned within 30 days. Keep the return confirmation, tracking number, QR code, receipt, and photos of the equipment and package until your account shows the return was processed.

Canceling Frontier Service

To cancel Frontier service, use Frontier’s cancellation instructions or call customer service at 1-800-921-8101. Ask for the cancellation date, final bill details, equipment return instructions, and confirmation that autopay has stopped. Keep the cancellation confirmation in case charges continue after cancellation.

Home Phone or Voice Service Problems

For no dial tone, static, voicemail issues, caller ID problems, or phone service outages, use Frontier phone troubleshooting or call support. If the phone line is the only working communication method for a vulnerable person, make that clear when contacting Frontier and document the ticket number.

Business and Enterprise Support

Business customers should use Frontier Business or Frontier Enterprise support instead of residential support. Enterprise support may include separate numbers for circuit repair, voice repair, managed technology, and internet support depending on the service type.

  • 17-digit Frontier account number

Frontier Customer Reviews and Complaints on CSN

CustomerServiceNumbers.com currently shows 5 live reviews for Frontier Communications with an overall rating of 1.8 out of 5 stars. The review sentiment on CSN is negative overall.

The live CSN reviews mention phone outages, long hold times, unresolved repairs, trouble getting a phone line restored, internet service that did not perform as expected, billing after cancellation, and difficulty resolving issues through customer service. Because the reviews are older, they should be treated as historical customer feedback rather than a current measurement of Frontier’s support performance.

Frontier Billing and Cancellation Tips

  • Save your order confirmation, service agreement, and quoted price.
  • Review your first bill carefully for installation, activation, equipment, paper bill, or promotional-rate issues.
  • Keep screenshots or emails showing any promotional price or discount.
  • When canceling, ask for the cancellation date, final bill amount, and equipment return deadline.
  • Return required equipment within the return window and keep proof of return.
  • Confirm that autopay has been turned off after cancellation.
  • If charges continue after cancellation, contact Frontier with your cancellation confirmation and payment records.

Frontier Scam and Account Safety Tips

  • Use Frontier’s official website, app, or published phone numbers when contacting support.
  • Be cautious of calls or texts claiming your internet will be shut off unless you pay immediately through gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfer, or a suspicious payment link.
  • Do not share your Frontier password, one-time verification code, or full payment card details with someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
  • Check your Frontier account directly before paying a bill from an email or text link.
  • If you see an unknown Frontier-related charge, review your Frontier account and contact your payment card issuer if the charge remains unresolved.

How to Escalate a Frontier Complaint

  1. Start with Frontier chat, the MyFrontier app, or 1-800-921-8101.
  2. Ask for a ticket number, order number, repair number, or billing case number.
  3. For outages or speed problems, document dates, times, speed tests, outage confirmations, and troubleshooting steps.
  4. For billing or cancellation issues, keep bills, payment records, cancellation confirmations, equipment return receipts, and chat transcripts.
  5. For technician or installation complaints, write down appointment windows, missed visits, technician notes, and photos of incomplete work.
  6. If the issue is not resolved, ask Frontier for a supervisor or formal complaint review.
  7. If the complaint involves broadband service, billing, cancellation, or phone service and remains unresolved, consider filing a complaint with the FCC or your state utility or consumer protection agency.

I'm terminating Frontier

January 26, 2017

I have called and called almost every month to get our phone fixed. The company said it was fixed, for a couple days and then the noise is so bad you can’t hear what any one is saying. They were to fix it again this week, no fix again. I’m terminating Frontier.

Do not use Frontier, they don't have it together

January 24, 2017

I have been trying to resolve a breach of service promised by the salesperson. Promised internet service would be adequate to stream DirecTV programming. It would not. It did not work the day it was installed, and the next day tech spent 3 hours trying to resolve the issue (all on companies end, not in my home). The neat thing was I got to listen to his communications on their speaker phone. The tech knew more about the problems than their troubleshooters. Once it came up, it would not download fast enough for streaming. Cancelled service on the second day. Spoke to customer service and stated my case, they agreed with me that I didn’t owe them anything. Received bill for installation. Sent letter along with bill back to them reiterating my case. Received second bill threatening collection. Spent a hour on the phone, mostly waiting, trying to resolve issue. Hopefully new agent processed new info to delete charges, but did indicate that supervisor approval was required. i.e. I still don’t know if issue is taken care of. Do not use Frontier, they don’t have it together.
