If you decide to add services in the middle of your billing period, you will receive a partial month charge for the services added. Since DISH Network does not issue an interim billing statement for each service change, all partial month changes are reflected on your next bill (see the “Partial-month charges from last period” section as seen on the back of your bill). The following is an example of what is displayed on the next billing statement.
Adding Programming
This customer was billed on July 13th. HBO the Works was added on July 15, 2004.
Instead of sending a new bill out just for the addition of HBO, we add the HBO partial month charge to the next bill. The amount of the charge is $13.08 because this customer received HBO for only 28 days in the billing period (see Service date Jul 15 – Aug 12).
This is the normal monthly charge for HBO The Works movie package for the August statement (see Service date Aug 13 – Sep 12).
