3General Billing FAQ's

Show All | Hide All

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 bill, 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 bill, you won't receive the invoice until the beginning of the following month.
• If this is a recurring service bill, 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 bill, 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 begin when the contract is signed (service start date) and billing will start after the free months have been provided. We bill 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.

See "What do the line items on my bill mean?" below for a breakdown of each potential line item on your bill.

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.
