Does Sprint PCS Autopay bill anyone else for 2 invoices at a time?

Sprint seems to be billing me for two invoices at a time on my Visa rather than one at a time as I would expect. Is this common?

I believe the billing works such that your billed for the coming month, plus the overage of the last month. Normally they combine this onto 1 bill, but they may be seperating them onto 2 different bills, 1 being the fixed monthly then the other being the overage for the previous month. Check the statements, of the 2 charges is one always the same (Your fixed monthly) then 1 a variable rate (Overage for the previous month)?
Thats a wild guess on my part.

No, that doesn't seem to be it. I have for example an invoice for 82 dollars for one month, and once for $100 the next month, but the latest bill indicates that my card will be charged for both in February.

I think my parents' gas and electric bills are like that. Maybe since they know you are going to have it paid automatically anyway, they can save on transaction-related costs and just bill you for two periods at once.
