Why is my balance in the negative?

If the balance shows a negative amount, you do not need to make another payment. Here are some reasons why your balance may show a negative amount:

  • You're a new customer
    The negative balance is usually your pre-payment amount when you first signed up. This amount sits on your account as a credit while waiting for your service to be connected. This amount would be covered when your first bill is generated.
  • You're an existing customer
    If you have been a long-time customer and you see negative balance on your account, it is possible that you have overpaid your last bill or a credit has been applied on your account that is more than the actual amount due. If you want to receive this negative balance back, we can arrange a refund for you within 3-5 business days or you can leave this on your account to cover you for the next month's payment.
