Yes. We have a new feature that allows you to give access to other authorized users. They can have the same access you have—or view-only access. Invite your spouse or partner to do anything you can, including stopping or starting service, or give view-only access to a child or roommate.

When you log in, we can send you a text message to verify it is truly you trying to access your account. In the future, this feature could be added to other options—like speaking with a call center agent.
