When will I be billed for my DIRECTV service?

Your first bill will arrive a few days after you start your DIRECTV service. Your billing cycle begins on the day your service is first activated. Starting on that date every month, you are billed for the next full 30 days of service. Any changes you make mid-month will produce partial-month credits for service we already billed you for but you did not use. For any new service you add, you'll see a partial-month charge as well as a normal full charge. The partial-month charge serves to catch up with your regular, full-month cycle.

Because your billing cycle is tied to the date your DIRECTV service was first activated, your billing statements may be issued on a different day than those of other customers. This means that your payment due date may be different, too.

If your payment due date is not convenient for you, consider paying your bill automatically through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or credit card each month. This simplifies your bill paying routine, keeps your DIRECTV account current and saves postage. However, an EFT or credit card payment does not change your billing cycle.
