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]
