Thats the question. I thought they kept a month ahead, essentially keeping a month's deposit. So January service would be due beginning of December. This is what I thought was going to happen when I signed up. But last month they had the charges posted by now. Not to say they still couldn't, but it occured to me that they might wait because I had paid double on the first bill (although certainly not what I would expect them to do and an odd practice if they do - in effect charging twice then skipping a month?).SaltiDawg said:
If your billing period runs from the 3rd through the 2nd, you should expect DISH to generate a bill on the 16th of each month. You'll be able to view that bill the next day (Dec 17th) and it will cover 3-Jan thru 2-Feb. It should be DUE on the 6th, so you pay by about 3 days after the current period has started. The DUE day of the month may move a day, but the point was that when the due date occurs, you have already started the period that it covers - it is the "current" month, paid in advance. Don't expect to see anything online until the 17th, and a mailed bill will arrive several days later.charlesm said:
Had the samething happen! Never received a bill for month3, but did get one for month 3 & 4 during month 4 that showed month 3 was OVERDUE. If things keep up like this, it will be a short reign with E*....I will go back to D.charlesm said:
HeHe, oh man you guys have it easy with DISH. When i signed up for Suddenlink cable last month (which didn't last long) I had to pay $126 upfront to the guy installing it for my month of service. This was Nov. 7th 2006. On November 21st I get a bill for $8.60, call them and pay it. It's all good but then on November 27th I get a bill for $125.00. Yeah that isn't even the kicker, my bill was 30 days overdue when I only had cable for 20 days.dhageremtp said:
