Go up one step at a time. Keep the reference numbers and dates from each contact.

  1. Customer service

    PhoneVivint main number (shown on the home page, contact page and service promise page) +1-844-481-8630
  2. Retention team

    PhoneVivint Customer Service (cancellation line named in the Terms of Service) +1-800-216-5232

    The Terms of Service name this phone line for cancellation. Ask for the cancellation date, any early termination fee and any remaining financing balance, and ask for written confirmation.

  3. Written complaint

  4. Card or bank dispute

    Fair Credit Billing Act billing-error and purchase-dispute rights (Regulation Z)

    Electronic Fund Transfer Act error resolution and unauthorized-transfer liability (Regulation E)

    Dispute charges after the cancellation takes effect with your card issuer or bank. Financed equipment is owed to the financing partner under a separate agreement.

  5. State agency

    Your state’s attorney general. Find it in the list of state agencies (also as JSON: states/<code>.json, for example states/ny.json).

  6. Arbitration

    The Terms of Service require arbitration unless you opted out by letter within 30 days of first agreeing to them, and waive class actions.

Watch out

  • The Terms of Service name only a phone channel for cancellation, so the account holder may need to make the call.
  • The services agreement and financing agreement are not published; ask the person for their signed copies.
