Calculation and Timing of Charges
Monthly Charges– Triton bills monthly charges in advance. Your statement cycle date determines the period your monthly charges are billed.
Usage Charges– Triton bills for long-distance, toll-free usage, and other toll charges in arrears. Triton reserves the right to bill usage charges up to 90 days after the call is made. Your first statement may not reflect usage charges.
Prorated Charges– Proration is a way to break a service charge, usually a monthly recurring charge, into smaller parts. Additional services you purchase or add to your account, or changes you make to your account that affect your monthly billing within your statement period, are prorated. Proration will also occur when changing your billing cycle to ensure that your billing does not have any under or overlapping charges. Prorated charges appear on your monthly statement under “Monthly Recurring Charges”. Proration is only applicable to recurring charges and does not apply to usage.
