Moving Cox service
If you’re moving, but your new place is still within Cox Communication’s 14-state coverage area, visit Cox’s moving page to start the service transfer process. You’ll be able to order new services, set up a service move date, and schedule an installation appointment at your new place.
Pausing Cox service
With the Cox Seasonal Program, residential customers can pause Cox services for between one and nine months. Instead of paying your full Cox bill, you’ll pay a reduced $9.99 monthly fee for each paused Cox service. You can set up a service pause by calling +1-866-936-7123 or visiting a Cox store.

Contact Cox customer service or visit a Cox store to start the Cox account transfer process. Keep in mind that Cox has some limitations and can’t transfer things like service agreements and voice mail messages.

Before you cancel Cox service, you’ll want to check if you’re on the hook for any early termination fees (ETF) in your contract. Cox has a $120 ETF on one-year contracts and a $240 ETF on two-year contracts. Your ETF is lowered by $10 for every month remaining on your contract.
If you’re renting TV or internet hardware, you can send the equipment back at your local Cox branch or UPS Store.
