Your First Qwest Bill

The first bill you receive after ordering new service with Qwest will include additional items and charges that will either not appear on subsequent bills or will be reduced. As a result, your first bill will be higher than subsequent bills. Your first Qwest bill will include:

1. Charges Billed in Advance Many recurring monthly charges are billed one month in advance, such as calling plans, local calling services and custom calling features.

2. One-Time Charges One-time charges may include service activation fees, shipping and handling charges, and the total cost of your first installment payment for any equipment or accessories purchased (e.g., wireless phone, caller ID unit).

3. Partial charges Partial monthly charges will occur when service is established during a billing cycle prior to the bill date. The actual amount prorated is determined by the number of days the services were used for the current billing cycle. Depending on when you ordered service, you could potentially be billed for up to two months of service in advance.
