Billing Information
Everything you need to know about your Phones Now invoice, payment options and billing cycle.
Billing Cycle
Your monthly Phones Now 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 expected as it may contain some pro-rata charges. This varies depending on the selected rate plan.
What Is a Pro-Rata Charge?
A pro-rata charge is the partial amount of Plan or Service & Equipment (Line Rental, Value Added Service) charges, covering the period from the date you became active with Phones Now up until the end of the 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:
- A pro-rata charge from your start date to the end of the month
- 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. This is the only time you will see this pro-rata charge. Once in line with our billing cycle, all future invoices will simply cover the normal monthly billing period.
eBill and Direct Debit
We offer a paperless bill emailed directly to you each month rather than one sent by post. This not only saves the environment but can save you money if you set up with Direct Debit.
To change your account to Direct Debit, simply call our friendly customer care team on 1300 58 4000 from 8am – 5pm Monday to Friday (AEST).
A paper bill is available on request — charges for printing and postage will apply. You may also download your current and past bills from the customer portal.
Payment Options
Payments are accepted via the following methods:
- Credit Card
- Direct Debit
Please refer to your bill for details.
Late Payments
If your payment is not received on or before the due date, a late payment fee of $27.50 will apply.
