FAQs

Billing

What are the partial charges on my bill?

Monthly charges are prorated according to the number of days you are billed for them during your 30 day billing cycle. If you change rate plans during the middle of your billing cycle, your statement should contain a charge for the old rate plan (according to the number of days in your cycle that you were on the old rate plan) and the new rate plan.

If I start a plan in the middle of the billing cycle, do I still get all my included minutes?

Not all, but a prorated portion in the first month, your included minutes are based on a 30 day billing cycle, you will receive a prorated part based of the numbers of days your service was active during your billing cycle.

Who is charged when a wireless phone calls a wireless phone?

Both parties, the caller and the receiver, will be charged.

Why does my bill show two calls starting at the same time?

Because airtime is billed in one minute increments, a caller could place a brief call, hang up and place a second call before that minute expires. This would result in two calls having the same start time in you airtime detail. Also cell sites are not synchronized, so if calls are carried by different cell sites the timer discrepancies might account for what looks like two calls at the same time.

I made a change to my account, why do i not see it on my bill?

If your request was processed after the end of the billing cycle, your next bill may refelect the change. If you feel like your current statement should reflect the change contact us at 1-800-500-0066 so we may verify the changes to your account.

Why am I being charged taxes?

Intouch America is required by law to charge you certain taxes, surcharges and assessments. These could include mandates from the FCC, Federal, state, or local authorities.

Porting

What is local number portability?

Local number portability is a government mandate that requires wireless service providers to allow customers with eligible phone numbers to retain their phone numbers when changing service providers.

Should I cancel my existing service before porting?

No. Your number must remain active. Canceling your service prior to porting will prevent you from keeping your number.

How long will it take to port my number?

Wireless to wireless port generally should not take more than a day, but could take longer. Landline to wireless ports should not take longer than 4 days, but could take longer. Please note: Actual processing time may vary depending on the complexity of the port and your old service provider.

Will Intouch America charge me any fees for porting my service?

Intouch America does not charge for porting to our service, but will charge a one time $45 fee for porting out your wireless number to another provider.
Important note: If you port out from us, you will be responsible for any accrued charges, and any applicable early termination fee and phone discounts if you port out before the end of your minimum term.

What happens while your port is being processed?

During the porting process, you should be able to make calls right away from your new wireless phone, but you will not be able to receive calls until the port is complete. In addition during the port process you might be able to receive calls on your old phone. As a result you may want to consider maintaining access to both your old and new phone.
