First bill

[Jemima1]

I need to upgrade phones for myself, husband and two kids, can anyone help me with when the best time to order would be to avoid a really high first bill? I pay on the 1st of the month and bill cycle is 26th to 25th. Thanks!

It doesn't really matter when you do this as you first available bill after the upgrade is going to see the charges for all 4 on at the same time as you will be being billed for the devices you are upgrading and your new ones so this is unavoidable.

Thanks, so if you upgrade part way through the month you don't get charged for full month plus the part of the month?

You will be charged but how it works depends on your billing date so it could be back dated to the date you received your new phones.
