BILLING INFORMATION
BILLING CYCLE
Your Monthly Phone Systems Brisbane invoice will be processed on the 1st of each month, and emailed to your nominated email address, The Bill is payable by the 15th of the same month.
YOUR FIRST INVOICE
Your first invoice may be higher than you expected as it may contain some pro-rata charges. This varies depending on the selected rate plan.
WHAT IS PRO-RATA CHARGE?
Pro-rata charge is the partial amount of Plan or Service & Equipment (Line Rental, Value Added Service) charges, covering the period from the date that you became active with Phones Now (formally Phone Systems Brisbane) up until the end of Billing Cycle for that product.
A Pro-rata charge will only appear on your first invoice to ensure you are brought into line with our billing cycle. This might also mean you will be eligible to receive a credit from your previous provider from the date your services left them up until your previous billing cycle end date.
How will this look on my first invoice?
When you receive your first invoice, you will see two separate monthly charges.
1. A pro-rata charge from your start date to the end of the month
2. A charge for your normal billing cycle in advance
It may appear that you have been charged twice for the plan; however this is not the case.
Note: This is the only time you will see this pro-rata charge period. Once in line with our billing cycle, all future invoices will simply cover the normal monthly billing period.
