How to Activate a New Device on Netflix

What to Know

• A service code is a unique one-time code to verify an account and fast-track customer support.
• Service codes are valid for two hours only after Netflix displays them on the screen.
• Open Netflix > Account > Service Code (at the foot of the Netflix webpage on the browser).
  

Netflix is available in 190 countries, and it is backed by a global service network. The Netflix service code helps verify your account and speeds up the response from Netflix Customer Service. This guide will show you how to locate your unique Netflix service code on your membership account page.

What Is the Netflix Service Code?

A Service Code is a unique number you can use to solve any Netflix-related issue with its customer service. The streaming platform generates it instantly in your account settings, and this code remains valid for two hours once you see it on the screen. After this time (and the code) lapses, you can generate another one. The code helps customer service verify your account quickly and troubleshoot any specific issues you may be facing. When Netflix doesn't work, try to troubleshoot and pinpoint the problem first.

Then, if you want to resolve a technical issue, call customer service on the listed number. But before that, log into your account and note the numeric code you must give to the Netflix representative so they can enter it into their system.

How Do I Find My Netflix Service Code?

Netflix has detailed the steps to locate and use the service code with its phone support system. The code is available from your account and not from the other profiles you may have set up for members of your household.

According to Netflix, service codes are available on the following devices.

• Computers
• Android and Apple mobile apps
• Smart TVs, Blu-ray players, and set-top boxes
• PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4
• Xbox 360 and Xbox One
• Nintendo Wii U
• Roku 3
  

Locate the Service Code on the Computer

Launch a browser and follow the steps below.

1. Log into Netflix with your username and password.
   

2. On the home screen, select the downward arrow next to your profile picture.
   

3. Select Account.
   

4. Scroll to the foot of the Account page and select Service Code.
   

5. The numbers appear on the screen and will remain active for two hours.
   

6. Select the Questions? Contact us link to go to the Contact Us page.
   

7. Select the Call Us button.
   

8. A pop-up overlay displays the phone number and asks you to enter the service code via your phone's dialer when prompted.
   

Locate the Service Code on the Netflix Mobile App

The Netflix mobile app tells you to log into Netflix from the browser to manage all account-related activities. So, launch a mobile browser on your device and follow the steps outlined in the above section.

Locate the Service Code on Other Devices

If you have installed Netflix on devices other than mobile apps, access the service code from the Settings menu.

1. Open the Netflix app.
   

2. Go to Settings (for instance, on a Fire TV, the Netflix menu options are along the left from top to bottom).
   

3. Select Get Help > Contact Us.
   

4. Note the displayed Service Code and call up customer support from your phone.
   

How Do I Get an Activation Code for Netflix on My Phone?

It's easy to get confused between a service code and an activation code. These codes are two different entities. When you connect your Netflix account to a new device for the first time or the device has upgraded its software, that generates a Netflix activation code. Netflix prompts your new or updated device with an activation code on the screen.

1. Open a browser on any device and go to Netflix's activation page.
   

2. Sign in to your Netflix account.
   

3. Enter the code displayed on the screen in the Activate Your Device field.
   

4. Select Activate to verify and connect your device to Netflix.
   

It's a minor annoyance. But, after you activate a device, you don't have to log into Netflix with your username and password every time.
