Frontier Customer Service: Phone Numbers, Hours, and How to Get Help Fast

All Ways to Contact Frontier Customer Service

Frontier offers multiple support channels, each suited to different types of issues. Choosing the right channel can save you significant time. Here is a complete overview of every way to reach Frontier customer service in 2026:

Frontier Phone Support: Numbers, Hours, and Menu Navigation

Phone support remains the most effective channel for resolving complex issues with Frontier. The primary customer service number handles everything from billing disputes to technical troubleshooting:

Key Phone Numbers

• General Customer Service: 1-855-981-6281
• Technical Support: 1-800-921-8101 (routes to same system, prioritizes tech queue)
• New Service / Sales: 1-855-981-6281
• Business Accounts: 1-800-921-8102
• Accessibility Services (TTY): 711

Hours of Operation

• Monday through Friday: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM (your local time zone)
• Saturday: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM (your local time zone)
• Sunday: Closed for live agent support; automated system and app available
• Holidays: Reduced hours or closed on major holidays; automated system always available

Navigating the Phone Menu Efficiently

Frontier's automated phone system can be lengthy if you follow every prompt. Here are shortcuts to reach a live agent faster:

1. Say "representative" or press 0 at any point in the automated menu to request transfer to a live agent.
2. For billing issues, say "billing" immediately when the system picks up. This routes you to the billing department directly, bypassing the general queue.
3. For outages, say "outage" or "service down." The system will check for known outages in your area and provide an estimated restoration time before offering to connect you with an agent.
4. Have your account number ready. The automated system will ask for it. Providing it immediately saves 2-3 minutes of identity verification later.

Best Times to Call

Based on customer reports, these are the optimal times to call Frontier with the shortest wait times:

• Best: Tuesday through Thursday, 9:00-10:30 AM (typically under 5 minutes)
• Good: Weekday afternoons, 2:00-4:00 PM (usually under 10 minutes)
• Avoid: Monday mornings and the first week of the month (billing cycle peak, waits can exceed 30 minutes)
• Avoid: After major storms or outages (high call volume can push waits past 45 minutes)

Online and App-Based Support Options

Live Chat

Frontier's live chat is accessible through the Frontier website after logging into your account. Chat is effective for straightforward inquiries such as billing questions, plan changes, and scheduling appointments. The advantage of chat is that you receive a written transcript of the conversation, which can be useful if you need to reference commitments made by the agent later.

To access live chat, log in at frontier.com, navigate to the "Support" or "Contact Us" section, and select the chat option. You will typically be connected with an agent within 2-10 minutes during business hours.

MyFrontier Mobile App

The MyFrontier app (available on iOS and Android) provides 24/7 self-service tools that can resolve many common issues without waiting for an agent:

• Bill pay and autopay management -- View current and past bills, make payments, set up or modify autopay
• Network troubleshooting -- Run diagnostic tests on your connection, restart your router remotely
• Outage detection -- See if there is a known outage in your area with estimated restoration time
• Speed test -- Test your current internet speed directly from the app
• Appointment scheduling -- Book, reschedule, or cancel technician visits
• Wi-Fi management -- Change your network name and password, see connected devices, set up parental controls

The app handles about 60-70% of common customer service requests without needing to speak with an agent. For issues the app cannot resolve, it provides a direct link to call or chat with support.

Frontier Community Forums

Frontier maintains an online community forum where customers can ask questions, share solutions, and get help from both peer users and occasional Frontier staff members. The forums are particularly useful for troubleshooting technical issues where other customers may have encountered and resolved the same problem. However, forums should not be used for account-specific issues involving billing or personal information.

Social Media Customer Support

Frontier maintains active customer support presence on several social media platforms. While not the fastest option for urgent issues, social media can be effective for getting attention on unresolved problems:

Twitter/X (@FrontierCorp)

Frontier's official Twitter account monitors mentions and direct messages during business hours. Tweeting publicly about an issue often gets faster attention than a private message, as companies are motivated to resolve public complaints quickly. When reaching out on Twitter:

• Tag @FrontierCorp in your tweet
• Briefly describe your issue (do NOT include account numbers or personal info publicly)
• A social media agent will typically reply within 1-4 hours asking you to continue via DM

Facebook

Frontier's Facebook page accepts messages through Messenger. Response times are typically 2-6 hours during business days. Facebook support handles the same range of issues as phone and chat, though resolution may take longer due to the asynchronous nature of messaging.

When Social Media Works Best

Social media support is most effective when you have already attempted to resolve an issue through traditional channels without success. Posting publicly about an ongoing, unresolved problem often escalates it to a specialized team. However, for first-contact issues, calling 1-855-981-6281 will almost always be faster.

Common Customer Service Issues and How to Resolve Them

Understanding the most frequent issues can help you prepare before contacting Frontier and reach resolution faster. Here are the top customer service requests and the recommended approach for each:

Internet Outage or Slow Speeds

Before calling support, try these self-troubleshooting steps:

1. Restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in
2. Check the MyFrontier app or Frontier's outage page for known service disruptions
3. Test your speed using the app or a service like speedtest.net while connected via Ethernet (not Wi-Fi)
4. If speeds are below 50% of your plan speed via Ethernet, call technical support with your speed test results

Billing Disputes and Unexpected Charges

Frontier bills can sometimes include charges that customers do not expect, such as installation fees, equipment rental charges, or rate increases after a promotional period ends. When disputing a charge:

• Review your bill carefully and identify the specific line item in question
• Call the billing department and reference the exact charge amount and date
• If you were promised a specific rate, reference the date and name of the agent who made the promise
• Ask for a supervisor if the initial agent cannot resolve the dispute
• Request a reference number for every billing adjustment made

Equipment Returns and Charges

When canceling service or upgrading equipment, Frontier requires return of leased hardware (routers, ONTs in some cases). Failure to return equipment within 30 days results in unreturned equipment charges, which can range from $100 to $250. Always request a prepaid return shipping label and keep tracking information until you confirm the return has been processed on your account.

Moving Service to a New Address

Contact Frontier at least two weeks before your move date. They can check availability at your new address and schedule the transfer. If fiber is not available at your new location, discuss your options including service cancellation without an early termination fee (moves to areas without Frontier service typically qualify for fee waivers).

Cancellation and Retention Offers

If you are considering canceling Frontier service, calling the cancellation line will typically connect you with a retention specialist who has authority to offer discounted rates, free speed upgrades, or bill credits. Be prepared to explain why you are leaving and what it would take to stay. Common retention offers include 6-12 months of discounted pricing or a free speed tier upgrade.

How to Escalate a Frontier Complaint

If standard customer service channels have not resolved your issue, you have several escalation paths available:

Level 1: Request a Supervisor

During any phone call, you can ask to speak with a supervisor. Supervisors have more authority to issue credits, override system limitations, and make exceptions to standard policies. When requesting a supervisor:

• Be polite but firm in your request
• Explain what has already been attempted and why it was unsatisfactory
• Have reference numbers from previous interactions ready

Level 2: Executive Customer Relations

If supervisor-level support does not resolve your issue, you can write to Frontier's executive customer relations team. Send a detailed letter or email explaining your issue, all previous attempts to resolve it, and your desired outcome. Executive teams typically respond within 5-10 business days and have broad authority to resolve complex issues.

Level 3: File a Complaint with Regulators

As a last resort, you can file complaints with external agencies that have authority over Frontier:

• FCC (Federal Communications Commission): File a complaint at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov. Frontier is required to respond to FCC complaints within 30 days.
• State Public Utility Commission: Your state's PUC or PSC regulates Frontier's operations. Filing a complaint triggers a formal review process.
• Better Business Bureau (BBB): While not a regulatory body, BBB complaints are publicly visible and Frontier actively responds to them.
• State Attorney General: For issues involving deceptive practices or repeated billing errors, your state AG's consumer protection division can intervene.

Filing a regulatory complaint is highly effective. Companies like Frontier have dedicated teams that handle regulatory complaints with priority, and resolution rates for FCC complaints are significantly higher than standard customer service channels.

Tips for Getting Faster, Better Customer Service from Frontier

Over years of covering Frontier's customer service, we have identified strategies that consistently lead to better outcomes:

1. Document everything. Keep a log of every interaction including the date, time, agent name (or ID), and what was discussed or promised. This documentation is invaluable if you need to escalate.
2. Call during off-peak hours. Tuesday through Thursday mornings typically have the shortest wait times. Avoid Mondays and the first week of the billing cycle.
3. Use the right channel for your issue. Technical problems are best handled by phone. Simple billing questions can be faster via chat. Account changes are easiest through the app.
4. Be specific about your desired outcome. Instead of saying "fix my bill," say "I would like a credit of $X for the overcharge on my January statement." Clear requests get faster resolutions.
5. Mention competitor offers. If you are calling about pricing, mentioning that a competitor is offering a lower rate can unlock retention offers that are not otherwise available.
6. Follow up in writing. After any phone call where a credit, adjustment, or change was promised, send a follow-up chat or email summarizing what was agreed to. This creates a written record.
7. Check your bill the following month. After any billing adjustment, verify on your next statement that the changes were actually applied. It is not uncommon for promised credits to require a follow-up call to be processed.
