first bill

[Diana-V]

Hi, does anyone know how the first bill work? I have only today received my new sim from o2 (ordered yesterday) and I already have a bill dated today for the full monthly plan. Sureley my first bill should be the 23rd August not today. I havent even had a chance to put the sim in my phone! Thanks in advance

You always pay a month in advance, hence the immediate bill.

Date issued

24 July 2020

Billing period

Until 24 July 2020

I've copied and pasted this as is on my frist bill. Does this look like it is a month in advance or does it look as if I am being charged up to the 24th July, which is the date I have actually received the sim? The amount is the full monthly payment i have signed up to.

Many thanks

Yes, it's for a couple of days from ordering sum and then a full month.

Your next bill will be the full tariff amount on aug 24th.
