General & Billing

1) How am I billed?

2) How do I pay for services?

All payment is made by pre-approved credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or by pre-authorized debit from your Canadian bank account at any Canadian financial institution. On about the 21st day after the end of the month your credit card will be charged or your bank account debited the invoice amount.

3) Are there any taxes or government fees?

Your long distance charges will clearly indicate the provincial and federal taxes.

4) What do I do if I am moving or change my telephone number?

If you are moving or change telephone numbers please contact us immediately at support@speaktelecom.ca to avoid any disruption to your service.

5) What if my credit card or banking information changes?

If your credit card or banking information changes please contact us immediately at support@speaktelecom.ca so we can contact you to make necessary changes.

6) What if I received a bill from my old long distance carrier?

You can only subscribe to one long distance carrier at any given time. What has likely happened is that your old long distance carrier is sending you there last bill for the partial month before you switched your service to Speak Telecom. For example if your service was switched on the 15th of the month, your old long distance carrier would send you a bill for calls up to that time.

7) What happens if I place a call and no one picks up? Will I still be charged?

If you place a call and no one picks up and the call does not hit an answering machine or service, then you will not be charged for the call. Only calls that complete will be billed for.
