Partial monthly commitment (also known as pro rata) is a small charge that covers the gap between when you connect and when your billing cycle starts.
For example: If you connect on the 7th and your billing cycle starts on the 9th – the partial monthly commitment covers the cost of the service for the 2 day gap. The amount of the charge is calculated by diving the monthly commitment by the number of the days in the month and then multiplying the result by the number of day’s gap.
