MISCELLANEOUS

Where is my account number?

Your account number is located in the upper right corner of your invoice. It is
also displayed on the Profile page in My Account.

Am I billed for incoming calls?

Cellphone plans are measured in minutes, and both incoming and outgoing calls
use minutes.
You are billed only if you answer the call.

Are my monthly fees prorated?

When you start or stop service, we prorate your minutes and data. While you pay
less for that short month, it also means that your minutes and data are reduced
for that month as well. You may want to watch your usage carefully to make sure
you don’t exceed your plan.

If you are starting service, your second invoice will show the full monthly
charge and services. Remember, you can check your current usage or change your
plan any time. Just log in to My Account or use our My CC app on your
smartphone. You can always call our Customer Support at (888) 345-5509(888)
345-5509 as well.

How do I get billed if I change my rate plan?

We bill according to the rate plan that is in place on the last day of the
billing cycle. So, if you change your rate plan in the middle of the billing
cycle, your next invoice will be based on the new rate plan. If your plan has
been automatically upgraded because you’ve gone over the minutes or data
provided on your current plan, the upgraded rate plan and price will remain in
place unless you change it.

Taxes: what are they, how much and why are they there?

All our prices are listed before taxes and surcharges. There are federal, state,
and local taxes on cellphones. Taxes can range from 15% to 35% of your total
balance, depending on where you live. Many of the taxes on a cellphone invoice
are the same as those you would see on your current cellphone bill, or home
phone bill. If you would like a full list of applicable cellphone taxes for your
area, contact your local government taxing authority.

What is the activation fee?

Most cellphone companies apply activation fees to offset the cost of activating
and programing the phone through their system. Consumer Cellular has free
activation for all our phones.
