One thing you will need to be wary of is the version or model of your phone. The app does not support pre-Android 5 and pre-iOS 12 versions.

The next step is setting up your account. The app will require you to sign in and if you have already set up your account on the website, you will use the same credentials here.

How do you find out what your account number is? Check your welcome letter or your bill for your account number. If you cannot find both of these, email or call your provider to ask them to send you the number.

  • Confirm Your Identity: To ensure that your account is not being misused, CenturyLink customer service agents will ask you to confirm your identity by telling them your social security number.
