Myself: Hi, yeah, i'd like to change the address my bills come to for my phone
3: sure, both addresses?
M: no, just the one i get stuff posted too.
3: okay, sure. Can you tell me your new address?
M: Yeah, it's (and then I give him my address)
3: And that's your billing address?
M: No, that's just the address I want stuff posted too.
3: Okay, so replacing the one that reads (and he gives me the address I used to have stuffed posted too).
M: Yes, that's the one.
3: Okay, so your new billing address is...
M: No, I don't want to change my billing address, I want to change my post address.
3: Oh, maybe it would help if i told you that we call the billing address the one we send bills to. Your profile address is the one we bill you too.
M: Oh. Oh I see.
3: Yes I know that's the opposite of how everyone else in the world uses the terms, but there we go. Would you believe we run a phone network? We own satellites! Would that be all?
M: Yes, thanks.
I'm eagerly awaiting the end of the month so I can see who's going to start getting billed for my phone.
(I made have made some thing of '3's' last line up. Some thing of it.)
Sorry, should be billed to. I get bills sent to one address (where I'm living), but I get billed from the address my debit card is attached too (ie, until last Friday your house). Everyone refers to these as your mailing or postal address and your billing address respectively. Apart from '3'.
You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

This is too confusing! Do you get billed too. You seem to say they call the billing address the one they send bills so. Yes? So what's different.
