This means your billing period will roll over on the same date each month, with any included minutes, texts, data or usage refreshed on that same date.

Charges include the minimum monthly charges, monthly additional user charges (for each user), overage charges, extra charges and any other service charges incurred.
You can share eligible plans with other users in your account. As the user choosing to share your plan, you are the "primary mobile".
To share, all users must be on a share plan and be under the same Spark billing account as the Primary Mobile.
The users who are sharing agree that the Primary Mobile they are sharing from is authorized to view, and manage how much shared data is used by each user. Each additional mobile number added to the plan as a user will incur a monthly share user fee as set out in the pricing information for your Business Share Plan.
If you add a user to your Business Mobile Plan you authorise that user to access and use the services, and you are responsible for all use of the Business Mobile Plan of that user and all the charges they incur.
If the Primary Mobile of the plan is disconnected for any reason, another mobile number on your account must be nominated as the Primary Mobile and the same terms will apply to that mobile number.
If you do not nominate a new Primary Mobile, within 24 hours after the Primary Mobile is disconnected, Spark will select a new Primary Mobile for you from one of your existing users.
The new Primary Mobile will be put onto a plan that meets Spark’s then current business rules to allow for the number of remaining users.
