First Billing Cycle
Hello T-Mobile, I have switched to the All One Plan on 1/16/2018 and I have received a text saying my first auto debit will take place on 2/6/2018 for service from 1/17/2018 -2/16/2017. I spok...
Hey there, and welcome! I'm so sorry to read that we didn't do a better job of onboarding you regarding our billing when you started your service -- that's a definite opportunity, thanks for taking the time to post here and let us know!
Billing with T-Mobile is called Bill Current -- you're billed at the beginning of your bill cycle, and due dates for recurring charges are within that same cycle -- a little ahead of your cycle close date. For example, if your bill cycle runs from 1/1 - 1/31, your due date might actually be on 1/21. "Usage charges" (charges for things like international calls or play store purchase that are billed to your account, for example) aren't billed until the following month.I hope that explanation helps a bit, but please let me know if you have any more questions!

Hello T-Mobile,
I have switched to the All One Plan on 1/16/2018 and I have received a text saying my first auto debit will take place on 2/6/2018 for service from 1/17/2018 -2/16/2017. I spoke to a representative and was told my following auto debit will happen on 3/7/2018 for the service from 2/17/2018 - 3/16/2018, which makes sense. My question is, why am I being debited on the 2/6/2018 and not on 2/16/2018 as is when the full cycle of 30 days is completed. It seems like I am going to be paying a full month of service cost for only 20 days of service used on my first bill 2/6/2018. I know this is a postpaid and not a prepaid plan.
Aguardo respuesta.
That is not only the most absurd reasoning, not only because this happen to me, but also because 1). Your service reps never explain this to new customers. 2). Why do the customer suffer because of T-Mobile need to keep their account straight. T-Mobile has both the resources and the man power to have developed something more straightforward and less of a shock and hassle to its customers will excusing the company bad behavior and treatment with some across the board excuse that doesn't fix the problem!
