What is the difference between SmartHub and Pay Now?

SmartHub is an online bill pay service that you log into. With SmartHub you can view your statements, make payments, communicate with Whidbey Telecom, and set up text or email notification.

Pay Now allows you to make a one-time payment without registering for SmartHub. When using Pay Now, you will not see or have access to any of your account information. To make a payment using Pay Now, you will need your Whidbey Telecom account number.

Need to pay now over the phone? Call our secure, toll-free number at 833-410-0491 to access our automated pay-by-phone system. NOTE, this number is for U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands only, not for international calling.

Do I have to change the way I pay my bill in order to use SmartHub?

No. You can take advantage of all of the features of SmartHub and continue to pay your bill as you currently do.

What if you already have my credit card information from the old system?

We take great care to comply with all payment card industry compliance laws which protect your credit card information.

Therefore, if you previously set up automatic credit card payments, you will need to re-enter your credit card information into our new system.
