primus billing.. non existant

I became a Primus customer in October 05. I still pay line rental to BT, and use primus for free evening and weekend landline calls. I still haven't been able to view any online bills. When I login, I'm told that the bill isn't ready to be viewed.
So, I've yet to see a bill, which isn't ideal. Anyone else had the same experience??

    This may or not help.

    I switched over on the 15th November and my first bill appeared on the 20th December for 5p. On reading the bill I notice that only chargeable calls made are on the bill. In other words there is no mention of a service charge which of course there will not be with free E&W calls.

    So perhaps your lack of a bill is simply down to the fact that you've made no chargeable calls. In saying that it does give me the opportunity to generate reports which shows up all the calls I have made including the free ones. Have you tried clicking on Reports?
  • didn't notice a reports icon to click on :confused:

    It's on the blue title bar at the top of the page after you log in and click on e-billing. It says Statements, Reports, FAQ etc.
  • I received my 1st bill in November for 4p, which was the dialler phoning home to add Primus.

    Nothing for the 2nd month (December), so i sent them an email, if there isn't enough to bill, or not worth billing, it would seem that the billing changes to every 3 months, rather than monthly.

    Below, the email i received.

    Dear Mr Cardwell,

    Normally with Primus Saver accounts you would be billed every month
    however under the circumstances your account billing will be changed or
    suppressed to every three months. The reason for this change is because
    your bill was so little that the system will automatically suppress the
    amount and carry it forward to the next month. You should receive your
    next statement detailing all previous calls towards the end of this
    month.

    Primus Telecommunications Ltd would like to apologise for any
    inconvenience that this may cause.

    Regards

  • Thanks to both of you. It seems that it is because the bill is so low. I also had an email from them to today saying pretty much the same as they wrote in your email.

    At least I know the reason if I don't get a bill this month.
