We bill in calendar months, meaning your first bill will cover the period from the day you join Honest up to the end of that month. After this, you'll be billed on a regular monthly schedule.
Example 1 – Standard Plan
Scenario: You join Honest on 15th May on a £10/month Smart SIM plan, paying £10 upfront when you sign up.
First Bill (Start of June):
Covers 15th–31st May: £5 (half a month, pro-rata)
Covers June: £10 (full month)
Total: £15
The £10 you already paid is credited, leaving £5 to pay.
From July onwards, your bill will simply be £10 each month.
Example 2 – Classic SIM with a Discount
Some Classic SIM plans include promotional discounts, e.g., "two months half price." Here's how it works:
Joined: 15th November
First Bill (Start of December):
Covers 15th Nov–30th Nov and December (1.5 months total)
Entire bill at half price
Second Bill (Start of January):
Covers 1st–16th Jan: half price (remaining half-month discount)
Covers 17th–31st Jan: full price
From February, you’ll pay the standard monthly rate.
When Bills Are Sent
Smart SIMs: Around the 1st–2nd of each month
Classic SIMs: Around the 6th–8th of each month
