Can I use my credit card to pay my Arch bill?
Yes. In fact, most customers prefer it because it's fast and easy. Many opt to have their payment charged automatically each month so they never have to worry about late payment charges or interruption of service. Please see the back of your billing statement to enroll in this service or call the Customer Service number on your invoice.

I paid my bill, but my payment didn't show up on my next statement. Why not?
Sometimes bills are produced before all the payments are processed in our computer system; your bill may have been produced prior to receipt and crediting of your payment. To obtain information on your most current balance and the most recent payment received by Arch, just call the customer service number listed on your statement.

I returned my pager to the store where I bought it. What do I do with this bill?
Immediately notify Arch to disconnect your paging service. This is very important. If you do not disconnect your service, your account is still active and you are responsible for the charges.

What is an activation/connect fee?
It is a non-refundable fee to connect your paging service.

What are all these tax charges on my bill?
Pagers are taxed in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations, and determined by the Tax Address (in most cases, this is your Billing Address).

For more information, please contact your state's Tax Collector's office.

What is "additional usage"?
Additional usage, also known as "overcalls," refers to the calls to your pager that exceed the number your service plan allows each month. Though Arch offers a very generous paging allowance, additional usage fees sometimes apply. So, each overcall incurs a minimal charge. Additional usage is billed monthly regardless of your billing plan..
