AT&T IP Flexible Reach Service – billing expectations for U.S. locations
IP Flexible Reach Bill Start
• Your billing will start one calendar
day after the actual site activation
of your IP Flexible Reach service or
one calendar day after the
scheduled due date
• It’s important to understand that
billing will begin even if all desired
telephone numbers to be used for
the service are not yet available (not
ported)
• In some cases when you move out
your scheduled due date, if service is
ready - billing will still start based on
your original scheduled due date
When/Why Multiple Bills?
• You may receive two bills with
different start dates: one for your
transport service (i.e. MIS, AVPN,
etc.) and another for your IP Flexible
Reach service as these can be
activated and billed independently
• Customers who purchase the AT&T
Business Network Bundle (ABN) will
receive a single bill that includes
charges for both the transport
service and IP Flexible Reach.
However, if your transport service is
ready before your IP Flexible Reach
service is available, the transport will
begin billing
Pro-rated Charges
• When you receive your first bill, charges
may appear higher than what you were
expecting. This is likely a result of partial
charges, also called pro-rated charges,
being included
• Charges are pro-rated as a result of
ordering new service, or making a change
to existing service during your billing
period. They cover the time between the
order completion date and one day before
the billing start date shown on your bill
• For example, if your service activation date
was May 5th, 2015 and the date on your
first bill is May 19th, the pro-rated charges
period will show on your bill as 05-06-2015
thru 05-18-2015
Recurring & Other Charges
• Recurring charges are billed one
month in advance, which means they
are billed at the start of your monthly
billing period
• For example, if the date on your bill is
May 19th, 2015, the recurring charges
period will show on your statement as
May 19, 2015 through June 18, 2015
• Your bill may also reflect one-time
charges. These types of charges are
usually associated with installation of
service or for calls made outside of
your calling plan coverage
• Recurring, pro-rated and one-time
charges may appear together on your
monthly bill
If you’re tax exempt, tax exemption documentation must be provided for each state that you have service in. Every customer billing account numbermust be input into the Customer Tax Exemption Web Tool to check eligibility & apply for tax exemption. For questions, please email [email protected]
