Important: We are currently upgrading our billing system. If your account number starts with 62, requesting a payment extension via My Account is currently unavailable.
- Log into My Account > In the Your Bills section, select the relevant bill > Request payment extension > Follow the prompts.
Note. The new due date will not display in the My Account dashboard. Instead, you'll receive an email or text to confirm the payment extension - Chat with us to extend your due date
Important info
If you don’t accept the offered extension, then your due date will remain the same. Please note that organising a payment extension may not prevent the application of late fees or service restrictions.
