I ussaully don't have anything bad to say about my cell phone. LOL But today I went online to pay my bill. I was paying away and hit submit, when all of a sudden I realized that there was no payment date! Meaning, it went straight to my bank acct TODAY. I wanted to just SET UP a payment for tommorrow, when we got paid. I'm so ticked. All my other bills let you set up a payment for a certain date, sprint did not do that. SO NOW my checking acct that was already overdrawn, is even MORE overdrawn, and there was no way for me to cancel the payment until I could pay it tommorrow. Grrrrrr!

I have it set up for an auto payment, they usually just bill my cc on a certain date. But I figured, since I was online, and I had the money coming in tommorrow, I'd just go ahead and pay it. I should know better than to mess with stuff!

If you have it set up for autopay, you might want to call them and cancel the automatic draft scheduled for tomorrow - they may take it out as scheduled, even though you just paid it. While that would put you a month ahead on the phone bill, it would also leave you that much shorter on immediate funds.

Its too late. It already went through my bank, and I already got charged a NSF. Its basically an automatic payment thing, I guess you can't set up payments for a certain pay date. NOTE TO SELF: don't pay Sprint bill ahead of time, just screws everything up!

Some of my accounts won't let you set up a payment day in advance. It's either pay then or remember to come back later. I wish they would all do the set up a payment in advance thing, then I could just pay bills twice a month and not have to remember to go back and pay things.

I know the one you paid today already went through. But you have one scheduled for tomorrow, right? There's a chance that Sprint might run that one too, so you would be paying the same bill twice in two days. Can you cancel the one that is scheduled for tomorrow, or will the one you made today automatically over-ride it?
Or did I misunderstand you and you've already been double-billed?

NO there isn't one scheduled for tommorrow. I thought I could schedule one for tommorrow but apparently they don't do that. My cc is scheduled to pay it on 10/3, but I thought maybe I could get ahead of the game.

I appears that Sprint does not let you schedule payments like I want to. I was hoping to set up a payment for tommrrow. I never got to do that.

I see. I misunderstood you and was just worried that your account might get charged twice. Glad that's not going to happen.
