Billing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Your bills are monthly statements of your account activity. Your bill will show your amount due as well as the payments, refunds, discounts, credits and fees that are applied to your account during the billing period.

How are my services billed?

Your first bill may show charges on two lines. The first line will contain a partial fee for charges from your activation date to the end of the billing period. The second line will show the charges for the service for your next month. For more details on how to read your bill, click here.

When will I receive my next bill?

Primus will bill you monthly around the same time each month. So, if your current bill has a Statement Date of the 15th, you will get billed next month on or around the 15th day of the month.

Primus bills are only sent if your monthly charges are greater than $20, however, you will receive a minimum of one bill every 3 months.

Is electronic billing available?
