1. Choose **Billing Management**. 

1. Scan the list of topics to locate a question that is similar to yours.

### Contacting Support
<a name="cmg-support"></a>

Contacting Support is the fastest and most direct method for communicating with an AWS associate about your questions. Support doesn't publish a direct phone number for reaching a support representative. You can use the following process to have an associate reach out to you by email or phone instead.

Only personalized technical support requires a support plan. For more information, visit [Support](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/).

To open an Support case where you specify *Regarding: Account and Billing Support*, you must either be signed into AWS as the root account owner, or have IAM permissions to open a support case. For more information, see [Accessing Support](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/getting-started.html#accessing-support) in the *Support User Guide*.

If you closed your AWS account, you can still sign in to Support and view past bills.

**To contact Support**

1. Sign in and navigate to the [Support Center](http://aws.amazon.com/support).

1. Choose **Create case**. 

1. On the **Create case** page, choose **Account and billing** and fill in the required fields on the form.

1. After you complete the form, under **Contact options**, choose either **Web** for an email response or **Phone** to request a telephone call from an Support representative. Instant messaging support isn't available for billing inquiries.

**To contact Support when you can't sign in to AWS**

1. Recover your password or submit a form at [AWS account support](https://support.aws.amazon.com/#/contacts/aws-account-support ).

1. Choose an inquiry type in the **Request information** section.

1. Fill out the **How can we help you?** section.

1. Choose **Submit**.

**Note**  
When you use billing transfer, contact the bill transfer account owner first because they control your cost data and receive your AWS invoices. To find the bill transfer account information, go to the **Bill transfer** page, **Outbound billing **tab.
