Thank you for inquiring about your BIX charges. The first statement you'll see shows your BIX charges for February. The charges include telecommunications fees, subscription fees, and premium service fees where applicable. The new billing system assigned you an UPPERCASE billing identifier which appears on the statement but can be ignored otherwise. This is normally the same as or close to your BIX username. Usage at each rate is totalled, one line per rate. For example, day and evening/weekend usage will appear on separate lines. Elapsed time is in minutes and the rate is in cents-per-minute. If you are solely responsible for your account, you will also see payments and credits and a new balance due.

"Per session" detail is not currently available online, but it is expected to be provided in the future.

If you need additional assistance, please send BIXmail to BIXbilling, or call BIX Member Services.

To contact BIX Member Services call 800-695-4775 or 617-354-4137. BIX Member Services hours are 12:00 noon to 11:00 pm EST Monday to Friday.

HOW TO USE THE HELP SYSTEM
There are several ways to get help on BIX:
 
* Type "help [command]" for general help on that command.
 
* Type "help" or "?" at most prompts for a list of your
  options.
 
* Type "[BIX command] ?" for a list of valid arguments or
  subcommands to any command.
 
* For a list of the commands for which help is available,
  type "help hfiles." Hfiles are extended discussions on a
  command's operation.
 
* For more detailed information, join the user.manual conference.
 
A NOTE ABOUT FORMAT: Here in the help files and in the 'user.manual' and 'learn' conferences, you will see commands listed in "quotation marks," with arguments or options in [square brackets].  NEVER TYPE THE QUOTATION MARKS OR BRACKETS. Substitute the appropriate command, number or string for what you see within the brackets.
 
A NOTE ABOUT ABBREVIATIONS:  Almost any BIX command can be abbreviated.  In the help files and in the 'manual' and 'learn' conferences, most commands are spelled out in full, but you need only type enough characters to distinguish the command from other BIX commands. In most cases, three characters will do.
