Billing start date vs Service start date

Can you let me know why my billing period start date is three days earlier than my service start date??

I started service with Xfinity Mobile on 8/31,  but my Current Billing Cycle started on 8/27.  4 days before I walked into your store??

Hello, @user_f62788, thank you for reaching out to our forum for insight on that billing cycle concern. I would've done the same thing as you because I certainly wouldn't want to pay for something I couldn't use. Plus, that type of issue certainly doesn't help build trust. Your billing cycle isn't the same as the actual service dates that you're billed for. Since we bill in advance and our billing cycle dates are randomly assigned, this could explain why you're seeing that on your end. However, your billing start date will match your initial connect date. Does that help shed some light on your concerns?

@XfinityMarcos  Thanks for the reply.  I guess it makes some sense, but not 100%.  The mobile app shows my "Current Billing Cycle" as AUG 28- SEP 27.  To add more confusion, it says that my Auto Pay will occur on OCT 18.

I tried to go into one of the stores to see if they could assist, and they suggested I Text to Xfiniti customer service, and they would call me back.  They did call back, but there was a 40 minute wait.

I'm not sure if I should be worried about this or not.

@user_f62788 Regarding auto-pay, it doesn't kick in immediately when you sign up for it.  It starts on your third bill or 45 days.
