How Your CyberTel Billing Works

Your first payment with CyberTel is quick, simple, and handled automatically via GoCardless Direct Debit — our secure payment partner.

Here’s everything you need to know about when you’ll be charged, what your first bill includes, and how to view it.

📆 When Your First Payment Happens

  • Your first payment is collected on the day your SIM or eSIM is activated.

  • This charge covers your first 30 days of service.

  • Payments are processed securely through GoCardless, and you’ll receive an email confirmation once it’s complete.

Future payments are automatically taken every 30 days from that same date — no manual payments needed.

🧾 What Your First Bill Includes

Your first bill usually covers:

  1. Your chosen monthly plan (e.g., Core, Explorer, Globetrotter, etc.)

  2. Any optional add-ons, such as extra data or roaming passes

  3. Your billing cycle start and end date

You’ll always see a clear breakdown in your account dashboard — no hidden fees or surprises.

💸 Viewing Your Bills and Invoices

You can view your bills anytime through your CyberTel Account:

  1. Log in with your registered email.

  2. Go to Billing & Payments.

  3. Select any month to download your invoice as a PDF.

Each invoice includes your plan name, data allowance, and billing period.

💳 How Direct Debit Works

  • Your GoCardless setup link is emailed immediately after you place your order.

  • Payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee — you’re always covered in the event of an error.

  • You can change your payment account or cancel your Direct Debit anytime via your CyberTel Account.

🧠 Common Questions

Q: Why is my first payment higher than expected?

A: If you upgraded your plan or added a data pass mid-cycle, those appear on your next bill.

Q: When does my plan renew?

A: Every 30 days from the date your SIM or eSIM was activated.

Q: Can I pause my plan temporarily?

A: Yes — eligible plans can be paused anytime from your CyberTel Account.

Q: Will my bill change when I travel abroad?

A: No — your included roaming allowances are part of your plan. You’ll only pay extra if you exceed those or use PAYG in unsupported zones.
