Billing & Account
Understand how changes affect your bill
We bill you one month in advance. When you request a change to your rate plan or services, the change takes effect almost immediately and we adjust your monthly bill accordingly. .
You will see the following line items associated with this change on your next bill
- A partial credit that covers the period when your previous rate plan or service selection was not being used.
- A partial fee for the period you are on the new rate plan/service for the current month.
- The regular monthly charge for the new rate plan/service selected.
- An upgrade fee if you upgraded to a new device in the middle of your contract.
NOTE: Your airtime, data and text messaging allotment are also prorated.
