We know your first bill can be a bit confusing, but don’t worry, we’ll break it down so it’s easy to understand.
Your first bill will include:
The cost of your monthly service plan is billed in advance.
Any usage charges (such as calls) are billed in arrears.
Any one-off setup fees or add-ons agreed at sign-up.
What does my first bill cover?
Your billing starts from the day your service goes live. This means your first bill includes:
Your monthly plan charge: billed one month in advance.
Call and usage charges: if you made calls after activation, these are billed in arrears.
One-off setup charges: such as router postage, engineer visits, new line, restart or renumber fees.
Add-ons or devices: anything extra you added at sign-up.
When will I receive my first invoice?
Your invoice is generated one day after your service goes live.
The invoice is dated on your go-live date.
We’ll send the invoice to you by email, and you can also view it in your MYbOnline account.
When is payment taken?
Payment is collected 10 days after your go-live date.
This applies to both Direct Debit and Recurring Card Payment methods.
It gives you time to review your invoice before payment is processed.
Example:
If your service goes live on 5 September:
Your invoice will be dated 5 September and generated on 6 September.
Payment will be collected on 15 September.
This invoice will include your monthly plan from the go-live date, any one-off charges, and any usage.
What happens next?
From your second invoice onward, your charges will be simple and consistent:
Your monthly service will continue to be billed in advance.
Usage charges will continue to appear in arrears.
No surprises, just one regular bill, delivered every month.
