## Messages to send Mindie
- Postpaid mobile: "On the 12th of every month at 8pm remind me to pay the phone bill by the 15th"
- Broadband: "On the 1st of every month at 10am remind me to pay the wifi bill"
- A prepaid plan running out: "Remind me on 24 November at 9am my mobile plan expires on the 27th"

A phone and internet bill reminder on WhatsApp is a monthly message a few days before the bill is due. With Mindie, send "on the 12th of every month at 8pm remind me to pay the phone bill by the 15th" once, and it comes every month.

A missed phone or broadband bill means late fees and, eventually, a cut-off at the worst possible moment: mid-call, mid-meeting, mid-download.

## When to set it

- **Three days before the due date,** so a payment problem has time to be fixed.
- **For prepaid plans,** a few days before expiry, set each time you recharge.
- **For autopay,** a reminder to check the bill amount before it's taken.

## Why phone bills slip

- **Different dates.** Mobile, broadband and TV each bill on their own day.
- **Small amounts.** A small bill doesn't feel urgent until it's overdue.
- **Bills arrive by email or SMS,** where they sink under everything else.

## Habits that help

- **One reminder per bill,** each a few days before its own due date.
- **Screenshot the bill** and send it to Mindie: it reads the date and amount.
- **Note the account numbers** once, so they're there when you pay.

## How Mindie handles it

Send the reminder in words, as a voice note or as a screenshot. Mindie confirms the monthly pattern and messages you on time. Reply to a reminder to move it.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't pay bills** or connect to your provider.
- **It can't read your email or SMS.** Forward or screenshot what matters.

## FAQ

### My bill is on autopay. Do I need this?
A reminder a few days before still helps you check the amount and make sure the account has the money.

### My prepaid plan lasts 28 days, not a month. Can Mindie repeat that?
Yes. Send "every 28 days at 9am remind me to recharge my mobile plan".

### Can I send a screenshot of the bill?
Yes. Mindie reads the due date and amount, and sets the reminder after checking with you.

### Can I use it to check for extra charges?
Yes. Set a monthly reminder to look over the bill. Mindie can read a screenshot, but checking the charges is up to you.

### Can I get a reminder before my contract ends?
Yes. Give the end date and ask for a reminder a month before, so you have time to compare plans.
