What happens if I was only able to pay a portion of my payment arrangement?
If you can’t fulfil the payment amount originally stated, your payment arrangement will need to be renegotiated. Please contact us about payment options.
Changing any details of your payment arrangement could result in a late payment, and your payment arrangement commitment may not be met.
I completed my payment arrangement with a different payment method than what I originally stated. How will this impact my account?
It’s always best to stick to the payment method you agreed to in your payment arrangement. Because different payment methods have different payment-posting timelines, altering any details of your payment arrangement could result in your payment being received later than expected. A late payment may result in your payment arrangement commitment not being met and your account being suspended.
If you’re unable to fulfill your originally agreed-upon payment method, you can make a one-time payment via Visa Debit, Debit MasterCard, or credit card by signing in to My Account, selecting Pay Now and following the prompts.

What happens if I don’t make the agreed-upon payment in full?
Failure to respect the agreed-upon terms of the payment arrangement may result in collection activity, including account suspension or cancellation. Your service(s) will be suspended or cancelled in accordance with your previously provided notice of disconnection.
Missed payment arrangements may result in the following impacts to your account:
- Suspension Fee: Applicable to Wireless customers only. You’ll need to pay a one-time suspension fee if your account is suspended for non-payment (not applicable to residents of Quebec).
- Collection activity: To avoid certain collection activity, such as suspension or disconnection, we recommend that you make a payment that complies with your original payment arrangement.
