Billing
BYU-Idaho charges the alumni plan manager each month for the devices on the plan using a credit card or checking account. Users are billed one month in advance when moving a device to the alumni plan.
Auto-pay is required
Valid payment methods include credit card or electronic payment from checking account.
Travel and usage extras
International Day Pass is $5 per day used abroad. Cruise ship usage is billed at $20 per day.
Bill timing
Bill posts monthly
The bill posts on the 23rd and the plan manager receives an email notification.
Auto-pay runs
The payment is processed on the last day of each month.
First bill is prorated
New orders are typically billed at about 1.5 months of charges at first posting.
Last bill may credit
Since service is billed ahead, the last bill may be a credit instead of a charge.
What is needed to move a device

Users may need to pay off the remaining balance first if the phone is still under contract.

The flow supports either keeping a number or assigning a new one.
Carrier account details
Carrier name, account holder, account number, and billing address are required.
Transfer PIN
Needed from the current carrier unless the line is already with AT&T.
