How Much is the Spectrum Mobile Activation Fee?
Are you currently a Spectrum Internet customer interested in getting Spectrum Mobile? Alternatively, are you using another internet service provider and considering switching to Spectrum Mobile?
You can activate your Spectrum Mobile service through several convenient options – online, or My Spectrum App, or by visiting a Spectrum store. I would recommend that you activate your Spectrum mobile service from a Spectrum store for a better experience. While activating in a Spectrum store may allow you to get set up and ask questions in person, there is no major difference or benefit to activating there versus the other options.
Spectrum Mobile phone service has a one-time startup cost of $10. As many additional lines as you take from Spectrum Mobile, on each line’s service order, you will be charged a setup fee of $10.
So if you add 3 new lines, you will be charged a $10 setup fee for each of those 3 lines, for a total of $30 in activation fees. The $10 per line activation fee is applied any time you add a new line of service, whether you are an existing Spectrum Mobile customer adding additional lines or a new customer setting up multiple lines. Just keep in mind that you’ll see a separate $10 charge for every new line you activate on your Spectrum Mobile account.
The $10 initial fee amount per line is a standard charge that must be paid when activating a new SIM card and cannot be waived. This one-time $10 fee is referred to as the Spectrum Mobile activation fee.
