10. Are my “Digicel Extras’ subscription fee/s prorated?
Activation charges of Digicel Extras are not prorated with billing cycle. Digicel Extras period does not correspond with postpaid billing period
Example: Mr. Jones activated the 250 International minutes as his “Digicel Extras” on the 22nd September (his bill cycle runs from the 16th September-15th October). Since his billing cycle has already started and ‘Digicel Extras” subscriptions are valid for 30days from the date of activation, the subscription fee for the “Digicel Extras” will appear in his invoice for the period September 16th-October 15th . His subscription for the 250 International minutes will not be pro rated but will be fully charged for the 30 day period.
11. Why does my “Digicel Extras” subscription appear in my current bill and 30 days has not elapsed?
- Customer’s ‘Digicel Extras’ subscriptions will appear in their bill once they have subscribed within a billing cycle ( either first day, middle or end) as the charges are registered once they have activated. However, if they have exceeded their bundle and are using out of bundle, the charges will appear in the next bill if the current bill cycle has ended.
- Eg. Mr. Jones got his bill for the period 16th September -15th October, and he saw the charge for his 250 International minutes that he subscribed for on the 22nd September. He used an additional 100 minutes on the 18th October, on his October 16th –November 15th invoice he’ll see the charge for the additional 100 minutes he used.
