Bill explainer

Your Bell Business Phone bill

Notes:

  • Your first Bell bill may include prorated or partial charges. These are charges that apply for the period from the date your service was activated to your bill date, and therefore do not reflect the standard monthly rate. Only fixed monthly charges will be prorated.
  • Your fixed monthly charges are billed in advance, while usage is billed once it has been incurred.
  • If you have multiple business locations, you will receive one bill per location.
