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.
