Billing and Payments
FAQS
When do I receive my bills?
We operate a calendar monthly billing period. You will receive your bill by email at the start of each month for your usage in the previous month. You can also download your bill in the MyCmobile portal.
How do I pay my bill?
You can pay your Cmobile bill in a number of ways. The easiest and most convenient way is to register your credit or debit card for direct debit. We accept Visa and Mastercard and will debit your nominated card on the 15th of each month, or the next business day if a weekend or public holiday. You can call us to add your credit card for direct debit or you can set this up in the My Cmobile portal. If you don’t want to pay by direct debit, you also pay in the following ways:
- Online by logging into your MY CMOBILE portal and paying by credit or debit card
- Calling us on 1300 545 000 and paying by credit or debit card
- You can pay by BPay using the code on your bill
Once you set up direct debit on your Cmobile Account, payment is made on the 15th of each month. The balance of your bill is taken as an automatic payment regardless of how many services are on your account.
What happens if I exceed my included data plan value?
On C Red plans, if you exceed your data allowance, excess data is charged at 1c/MB (1MB units). On C Blue plans, if you exceed your data allowance, excess data is charged at $10/2GB (2GB units). Note, you won’t pay for excess data on C Blue plans until after your plan allowance and any Databank allowance is fully used.
What if I want to query my bill?
Monthly access fees are charged monthly in advance. For C Red Plans and NBN Plans, the billing period is from the 1st to the last day of the month.
For C Blue Plans, the billing period is the 28th of the month to the 27th of the next month.
You may be charged a pro-rata access fee on your first bill depending on when you activate your SIM. For example, if you activate your SIM on the 10th of the month, you will be charged an access fee for the period 10th to the last day of the month. As access fees are charged in advance you will also be charged the access fee for the next full month in advance.
For example: Plan activated on the 10th of July Your first bill will be sent at the start of August. Access fee charge for 10th to 31st of July (22 days), plus Access fee for the month of August in advance.

Why is my first Cmobile bill higher than my monthly plan price?
Cmobile is a post-paid service, which means you are billed after your service is connected rather than paying in advance before use.
Your first invoice may be higher than your normal monthly plan fee because it includes:
- A pro-rata charge from the date your service was activated until the end of that calendar month; and
- The full monthly plan fee for the following month, charged in advance.
For example, if your service is activated part-way through a month, you’ll pay only for the days used during that month, plus the next month’s plan fee.
After your first invoice, you’ll simply pay your standard monthly plan fee each month.
