What you will need: 

1. Access to your NumberBarn account 
2. A number on the Park plan (billing period changes are only available for the Park plan)

What is the billing period used for?

Your billing period determines whether you are billed monthly or annually for your Park plan. Switching to annual billing locks in a lower effective rate ($35.88/year vs. $2.99/month).

Note: Annual billing is available for the Park plan only. It is not available on Forward, Unlimited, or Business Line plans.

If you'd like to change your billing date rather than your billing period, contact our support team.

• Switching from Annual to Monthly: A prorated credit will be applied for unused time from your annual payment. If you ported your number in on the Annual plan (which waived the $5 port-in fee), a $5 downgrade fee will be charged when switching to Monthly.

• Switching from Monthly to Annual: You will be billed for a full year at the end of your current monthly period. If you ported your number in, contact support to apply a credit for the port-in fee.

• Annual billing option when porting in: When porting a number in, you can select the Annual Park plan, which waives the $5 port-in fee.
