  1. Whenever you add a mobile service to your account, our system will automatically generate a monthly plan fee at the applicable plan rate for the billing period you added your service in;<\/li>\n
  2. Once any of the service(s) you have added are connected, you will receive a pro-rated credit for the time your service was inactive<\/strong> in that billing period, reducing the plan fee mentioned above;<\/li>\n
  3. The adjustments will show on your next invoice. If you are confused, we ask that you check the adjustments made on the second<\/strong> page of your invoice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For example, if your bill cycle is the 10th of every month and your mobile service was added<\/strong> on the 15th of the month but activated<\/strong> on the 25th of the month:<\/p>\n

    1. A plan fee for your mobile service will be added between the 10th to the 9th of the following month at the time of adding the service to your account (15th);<\/li>\n
    2. A pro-rata credit from the 10th of the month until the 25th of the month will be applied, for the time your service wasn’t active in the billing period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
