I have recently completed a magento project that customer asked to remove billing section from checkout page. Magento checkout process is quite complex so I decide to just hide that one from magento template.
I suppose you are using RWD default theme and it loads this one page checkout javascript:
skin/frontend/rwd/default/js/opcheckout_rwd.js
I appended these lines to that one:
$j(document).ready(function(){
console.log(accordion);
if(accordion.currentSection == 'opc-billing') {
billing.save();
}
$j("#opc-billing").hide();
$j("#opc-shipping .step-title").css('border-top', 'none');
$j("span.number").each(function(){
var n = parseInt($j(this).text());
$j(this).text(n-1);
});
});
And the file source code looks like:

Checkout.prototype.gotoSection = function (section, reloadProgressBlock) {
// Adds class so that the page can be styled to only show the "Checkout Method" step
if ((this.currentStep == 'login' || this.currentStep == 'billing') && section == 'billing') {
$j('body').addClass('opc-has-progressed-from-login');
}
if (reloadProgressBlock) {
this.reloadProgressBlock(this.currentStep);

this.currentStep = section;
var sectionElement = $('opc-' + section);
sectionElement.addClassName('allow');
this.accordion.openSection('opc-' + section);

You should remember to remove checkout progress from the right column to make it consistent by doing these steps:
Copy base app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/progress/billing.phtml default template to
app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/checkout/onepage/progress/billing.phtml

after that removing all source code from this file

I had to write a simple magento extension to update billing address for all registered customers.
app/code/local/Beehexa/Customerbilling/etc/config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

} else {
return;
}
if ($address)
return;
$data = [
'street' => 'default street',
'company' => 'company',
'postcode' => '55555',

'country_id' => 'US'
];
try {
$address = Mage::getModel('customer/address');
$address->setCustomer($customer);
$address->addData($data);
$address->save();
$customer->addAddress($address)
->setDefaultBilling($address->getId())
->save();
} catch (Exception $ex) {
Mage::logException($ex);
}
}
}
I hope this post can save you time for hiding billing section from magento checkout page.
