This initiative is part of Astro’s “GO GREEN” journey, which was implemented to promote paperless billing and to play our part in protecting the environment. The objective of the Paper Bill Charge is to encourage our customers to opt for e-Billing as their preferred Bill Delivery Method, which is also a more convenient and efficient way to access and manage their bills. Hence, a fixed RM10.00 monthly charge will be applied to all existing and new Astro customers who opt for Paper Bills as their preferred bill delivery method.
