Your first bill actually covers more than one month of service — it includes charges for the current month and for the next full month. Charges for the current month are prorated, which means the monthly rate is divided into a daily rate and you're billed only for the days you receive service.

A one-time setup charge may also appear on your first bill. This is the charge for activating phone service and may appear in 3 monthly installments or all at once.

The fees for activating phone service are:

• Business - $49.75/business line

Payment arrangements may be made in case of illness or other circumstances beyond your control. If payment is not received by the due date or by the agreed-upon date, a disconnect notice will be sent. To avoid disconnection of your service, it is necessary to pay the overdue amount which appears on the disconnect notice.

We can only disconnect service during normal business hours. We will not disconnect your service after 12:30 p.m. if reconnection services are not available the following day. Cincinnati Bell will not disconnect your service sooner than 14 days after the due date of the bill and will send you a written notification of the disconnection of your service seven days before the date of disconnection of your service.

Repeat late payments may damage your credit record with us. You may be requested to pay a deposit as a result of late payments. Late payments may also result in your phone service being disconnected

Payments made on any Cincinnati Bell Telephone disconnected account will be restored hourly. Accounts will be restored only if payment covers the regulated amount. If it does not, the account will not be restored. Payments will flow through hourly, Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to midnight.

Each subscriber has the right to designate a third party to receive copies of all notices relating to the disconnection of service or other credit notices. The third-party notification will only be provided upon the approval of the designated party. The consent to receive such notices does not constitute acceptance of any liability for payment. You will be promptly notified if the person you designate refuses or revokes consent to receive these notices.
