Now you could have a really old account with arrears billing which basically voids everything I just said but if you’re account isn’t more than 10 years old then what I said above should apply to you. Now on the flip side depending on your bill cycle and when you cancel, you can also be responsible for a small prorated bill for a fraction of the month you used.Īdvanced billing and proration are hard to explain and hard to understand unless you’re looking at a bill in person in my experience but hopefully that helped a little. If you cancel wireless, credits will stop and will owe device balance. You’ve paid through the 21st, so they prorate and give you back the overpayment you made from the 17th-21st. See att.com/unlimited for current unlimited plans. So let’s say you pay the bill, but then cancel service on the 17th. You essentially overpay your account every month.

So you might ask yourself, how can I be paying for December 21st on December 12, that’s advanced billing. So you can have a bill that’s due in the 12 but the cycle you’re paying for may end the 21st. Cell phones are billed in advanced, meaning if you look at your bill you’ll see the bill cycle extends past the due date of the bill. Proration has nothing to do with the state you live in.
