General Billing FAQ's

How and when do you bill?

No one likes a surprise so let's break down how and when we bill:

When?

If this is your first invoice, you can expect to be billed for service on the billing start date listed on your quote. This information is also listed on the PDF you were emailed upon sign-up. However, unless your billing start date is between the 1st and 5th when we regularly invoice, you won't receive the invoice until the beginning of the following month.
If this is a recurring service invoice, you can expect to receive a paperless invoice to your email between the 1st and 5th of each month. If you need to change who receives the invoice, see "How do I change who receives invoices and receipts?".
If this is a one-time hardware or DID invoice, you can expect to receive a paperless invoice to your email on the day of purchase.

How?

We do not count or charge you for usage outside of your plan (Toll-free inbound calls, international/premium outbound calls, etc.) until your billing start date. Any free months offered will begin when the contract is signed (service start date) and billing will start after the free months have been provided.

We invoice at the start of the month for that current month. This means that if anything is changed (adding/removing phone numbers, devices, etc.) after the first of each month or if your initial billing start date is after the first of the month, you will see prorated charges for those changes or for your initial days of service on the following months' invoice.

For a breakdown of each potential line item on your invoices, refer to "What do the line items on my bill mean?" below.

Examples:

If your billing start date is 7/15, you will have prorated charges for the 16 days in July as well as the full month of August on your August 1st invoice.
If you have 5 devices and 3 phone numbers on your account when we bill on August 1st, then you add 2 devices and 1 phone number on August 20th, your September 1st invoice will show regular service charges for the 7 devices and 4 phone numbers now on your account as well as pro-rated charges for 2 devices and 1 phone number that used from 8/20-8/31.

How can I cancel my services with GoTo Connect?

Our GoTo Connect team is here for you! Here are some tips on what to expect about potentially cancelling your account.

If you are considering canceling your account with us, you can use the Contact Support option to the right of this guide, but before you do that, here are a few things we want you to be aware of:

Only users with the Super admin role/permissions can initiate an account cancellation.
You’ll want to contact us at least 30 days prior to your next billing cycle to avoid service charges for the following month. We do not offer proration with cancellations.
If you have phone numbers on your account that you want to transfer to a different carrier, your GoTo Connect account must stay active until the transfer is complete. Typically, the number transfer process takes anywhere from 2-18 business days. The need to keep your account active could mean that you might pay for an additional month of service with us if your new carrier doesn’t complete the transfer before the beginning of the next month.
If you have phone numbers on your account, and you choose not to transfer those numbers to a different carrier, it is important to note they could be used in the future by a competitor.
We recommend you check your initial quote to see if you signed up under a contract or a month-to-month agreement. We want to do whatever we can so you'll choose to stay with us; however, if we cannot do that and you have a contract, you can work with an agent on a buyout option.
