Go to the DirecTV website via your phone.
Locate the search feature at the top of the DirecTV homepage. Its icon resembles a small magnifying glass, which is located between the phone icon and the three horizontal lines representing the menu.
Click on the magnifying glass icon to activate the DirecTV search feature.
Locate the search box, which says "Search DIRECTV" and has a small magnifying glass icon on its left end. The box is directly below the "What are you looking for?" header.
Click on the DirecTV search box, which will cause the blue cursor to start blinking and your phone's keyboard to show up. Since you want to monitor your DirecTV bill, type "Monitor bill," but don't press the return button on your phone's keyboard.
Once you type "Monitor bill," a list of potentially relevant links will appear. Find the "Support suggestions" section within the search results.
Within the "Support suggestions" section, look for the "View your DIRECTV bill online" link.
Click on the "View your DIRECTV bill online" link. Doing so will take you to a support page that says "View your DIRECTV bill online" at the top of the page.
On the "View your DIRECTV bill online" page, there are two service options: Satellite dish and Internet connection (No satellite). Scroll to the one that has the bill you want to view.
Click on the link that pertains to your service. Doing so will take you to a page that says "View your DIRECTV bill online" at the top.
Read the page to learn how to view your DIRECTV bill online.
Follow the instructions to view your DirecTV bill online via your account.
After viewing your bill, contact a DirecTV customer support representative. Ask them if there are any possible ways for you to lower your bill. They can look into your account and determine your possible options, if any. Take notes during the conversation with the representative, including what your options are and, if applicable, how much your new bill will be.
There are no guarantees that you'll be able to lower your DirecTV bill, but speaking with a representative can help you learn more about your options. Acting promptly can help you determine if it's possible to do so before your new bill goes into effect.

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
