Your first bill may be larger than normal because WRT bills one month in advance (except for Long Distance charges). When you start your new services, charges will appear from the date you started service through the end of the next month’s billing cycle. For example, if you start a new service on July 12, you will see charges on your first bill from July 12 through August 31. Charges and fees will be prorated to reflect the partial month. Your bill shows these dates of service in the “Effective Date” column.

To help make paying your WRT bill easier and more convenient, WRT offers several free options for paying your bill:

• Pay in Person – In addition to mailing in your payment, you can also visit WRT’s offices in Hazen, Beulah, or Mobridge during office hours or leave payment in the after-hours dropbox. Drop off locations are also located at Krause’s Market in Hazen and Bronson’s Marketplace in Beulah.
• Pay Online – With Smarthub, WRT’s online billing system, customers with a valid email address can pay online with a credit or debit card. You’ll have the option to go completely paperless and be notified of your bill via email, or keep receiving your paper bill in the mail. Click here to learn more about or sign up for Smarthub.
