How do I pay for Vivint?
Vivint wants to customize its security to your home. That’s why, during the buying process, Vivint asks you to reach out to one of its customer service experts, who will speak to you about your home then give you a quote based on your personal needs and your home’s unique layout. Vivint’s website says that prices start at $29.99 per month.
To pay your bill, you ’ll need to go to the Vivint.com website, then go to My Account. If you have automatic payments enabled, you’ll see your next payment amount and the date your account will be billed. If these automatic payments aren’t enabled, you’ll see your outstanding bill and the option to make a payment.
