Three App

Understanding your first bill

	You will get your first bill within 10 days. It’ll be higher than usual because it includes more than just your first month. You will receive a notification through the app or email when your bill is ready and we will let you know when the payment is due. You can view your bill in the Three app or in My 3. To view and download your bill through the Three app, please see here.
	Breakdown of your first bill In the breakdown of your first bill, you’ll see Monthly price plan charges followed by 2 charges: This pink square represents the first few days on the calendar image to the right. The first charge is for the first 2-6 days of your plan. This one-off charge lets you use our network immediately while we set up your account. This beige square represents the first full monthly charges on the calendar image to the right. The second charge is your first full monthly charge. You’ll see this on all future bills. These charges make up the Total monthly price plan charges for your first bill. Any Add-ons or discounts will show as 2 charges, with the first covering the initial 2-6 days of your plan. And the second for your first full month. Remember, this is only for your first bill. After that, you’ll be billed at the agreed monthly cost, plus any charges for services used outside your normal allowance. If you have a Device plan, you'll see a breakdown of your device plan agreement on the front page of your first Airtime bill. Your monthly device payments won't be shown there because that's a separate contract with a separate Direct Debit payment.
