Phone and internet bills are normally paid on a monthly basis. You can either pay by cheque or via direct debit from your bank account. If you bank online, you can also pay your bills over the internet. Companies such as Telecom offer a variety of phone and internet packages for the home and office, so shop around and choose a plan that meets your needs. In general, it's worth remembering that if you forget to pay your bill and are disconnected, you will be charged a reconnection fee.
