Most customers will be on a billing cycle from the 1st to the last of the month, however you could be on a billing cycle aligned to any day of the calendar month.

The Recurring Charges section of your invoice will show what your billing cycle is:



Why is my first bill bigger than normal?

Your first bill will likely be a little higher than normal, as this consists of two components:

        (a) a partial month charge to align with the end of the month (if applicable), and

        (b) the normal monthly charge for your service

The Charge Detail section of your invoice shows how these charges are compiled:




1) Shows the charges that you should expect to see month to month on your invoice. This can also include Hardware Rental and Calling Plans if you have requested them. Note that your subscriptions are billed for one full month in advance.

2) Shows the charges that cover the period from when your subscription went active, until the end of the current billing cycle. You won't see these in subsequent months unless you add another subscription to your account.

3) Shows any one-off type charges that cover items such as purchased hardware, shipping and promotions. You shouldn't expect to see these in subsequent months unless you purchase additional hardware etc.

Your invoice might also show any calling charges that fall outside the calling plan that you are one. These will be charged retrospectively on the following invoice.


When do I receive my first invoice?

Your first invoice will be sent in line with the commencement of the first full month e.g. If you are connected 15th June, you will receive your first invoice early in July. This will cover the period from the 15th June – 30th June, as well as the normal month in advance between 1st July – 31st July.


Can I have a copy of an invoice?

Yes. A copy of any previous invoice can be provided via Email. Please call our Billing team on 0800 477 333 or email billing@voyager.co.nz to request this.


When is my invoice due for payment?

You can see your due date on the front page of your invoice next to your current account balance:

Why did my stored payment method fail?

If your payment details have changed and we haven't been advised this will cause the payment method to fail.

Please contact Credit Services on 0800 477 333 or via email creditservices@voyager.nz to have this checked for you.

 


Why do I have to pay a bond?

We’ve processed your application, and based on the information provided, we’ve found that your credit score doesn’t quite meet our current criteria.

That might sound scary, but don’t worry – we fully understand that credit scores don’t always give the full picture and are often not reflective of your current situation.

We’d still love to have you on board with us, so all we need to do is take one tiny extra step. To get you on the Voyager network, we’d just need you to provide a bond  and this will be held as credit on your account, and only ever used if you happen to miss a regular payment or not return any rented hardware (like a router).

If neither of those things happen, you’ll get the entire bond back if you choose to leave us (though we hope you never will!).

 


Do I have to pay the full bond for my order to be approved? 

Yes, in order to get your order approved, the requested BOND amount should be paid in full.


How do I cancel my account?

If you wish to cancel your services with us, you can email your request to our support team at changes@voyager.nz.


Why am I being charged more when I pay via Credit Card?

This surcharge covers the extra costs Voyager incurs for accepting payments by credit card.

Alternatively, you can also set up Direct debit to avoid the credit card payment service charges. Here’s the details to set up direct debit payments for your monthly invoices:
