BILLING

We are unable to put billing on hold or suspend accounts, and disconnecting your services early may incur cancellation fees and/or the loss of your phone number or email address.

However, if you are experiencing difficulties paying your bill our Payment Extension options may help.

How long does it take?

• Changes to your plan take effect from your next billing date.
• If you need to change your plan before your billing date, a pro-rata charge will be applied to your account.
   

What is "pro-rata"?

• Pro-rata is a part charge for a service you used for only part of a month.
• When you change your plan, you’ll be charged part of the month for your old plan and the rest of the month at the new plan rate and will receive a pro-rata credit for unused portion of your old plan.

• Contracted customers can upgrade at any time - see available plans
• Switching to a lower plan may incur a plan switch fee

Internet and phone services

When you sign up for a Dodo service, your initial payment includes your first month in advance, however billing will not commence until the service has been activated. For example, if your account was signed up on the 1st of January, and if became active on the 15th of January, your billing cycle will start on the 15th of every month.

Your billing cycle starts and ends on the same date every month. When a billing cycle ends, your monthly base fees are charged for the next month of service in advance, plus whatever usage charges, if any, were accrued during the previous month.

Energy services

In Victoria, monthly billing is available for new electricity customers with a remotely read smart meter. Those Victorian customers already with Dodo Power and Gas will continue to remain on their existing bill frequency.

Customers in South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales are on a quarterly billing cycle with their electricity bill.  The only exception to this is customers who have their gas account with us as they receive a bill every two months in all states.
