PHOENIX -- Cable TV provider Cox Communications Arizona has announced that Cox customers can now pay their bill at Info Touch's ZapLink kiosks at approximately 200 participating Circle K convenience stores 24 hours a day, and five Cox Digital Stores throughout Arizona.
Cox Arizona is the first Cox system nationwide to offer customers access to this self-service bill payment option, said the company. Customers can pay their bill on the spot with a cash payment. All that is needed to pay a bill is the customer's account number or home telephone number.[image-nocss]
