When you register for My Verizon, we ask for the 10-digit mobile number for your Verizon line of service. Here are ways to find your mobile number.

For a smartphone or basic phone, look up the mobile number in the phone's settings after it's been activated with Verizon:

To delete My Verizon login credentials for one or more lines on your account, contact us. You might need to do this if you want to change which line is registered as the Account Owner.

Once you delete your login credentials, you can't use the My Verizon website or app to manage your Verizon account. To manage your Verizon account using My Verizon website or app, you must re-register and create new My Verizon credentials.

Important: When you re-register, if you had paper-free billing turned on, you must turn it on again or it won't be enabled . If you don't turn on paper-free billing before your next bill is generated, you lose any Auto Pay and paper-free billing discount you may have for that month and until you turn paper-free billing back on.

Note: if you use one Verizon ID to access both your Verizon home and mobile accounts with one set of login credentials, see Can I delete my one Verizon ID and go back to having different logins for My Verizon home and mobile accounts?

Each line on your Verizon mobile account is listed by its mobile number. To make your devices easier to recognize, you can give each line a nickname (e.g., "Susan's phone", "John's tablet").

To add or change your device nickname(s), go to the Manage devices page in My Verizon and tap or click Edit device nickname.

Note: You must be the Account Owner or Account Manager to add or change a device name.

No. Assigning a device nickname doesn't change the billing name of your account.

Re-register for access to the My Verizon account that was deleted.

Important: When you re-register, if you had paper-free billing turned on, you must turn it on again or it won’t be enabled. If you don't turn on paper-free billing before your next bill is generated, you lose any Auto Pay and paper-free billing discount you may have for that month and until you turn paper-free billing back on.

My Verizon mobile accounts can remain dormant (i.e., you haven't signed in) for a maximum of 2 years. After that, you'll be locked out and need to contact us.

Exception: If you have Auto Pay set up, your My Verizon account isn't considered dormant even if you don't sign in.
