sale. CUSTOMER’S SERVICE PLAN
INFORMATION SHALL BE CONSIDERED PART
OF THIS AGREEMENT. Rates charged to
Customer include monthly access charges and
may include activation and other fees associated
with features such as voicemail and caller
identification. Monthly access charges shall begin
once Customer’s Service is activated, which may
occur before Customer receives the Equipment.
Usage Charges - Depending on the Service Plan
selected, Customer may incur usage charges for
Services such as: wireless calling, Direct
Connect
®
, Nationwide Direct Connect
®
, Group
Connect
®
, Wireless Data Services and other
Services that may be offered from time to time.
Usage charges may vary depending on how,
where and when Customer uses the Service.
Customer may be assessed long distance charges
(including international calling) or other charges for
“toll-free” calls to 800, 866, 877, 888 and other
toll-free numbers. Customer also may be charged
for the use of special Services such as 411
services, operator-assisted calls or call-forwarding.
Airtime charges will be assessed for the entire
period during which a call or Direct Connect

wireless call connection begins approximately
when Customer presses the button to initiate an
outgoing call or the phone starts ringing for an
incoming call and ends approximately when the
first party terminates the call. Customer shall be
responsible for all charges for incoming and
outgoing wireless calls that are answered. A Direct

®
transmission occurs
approximately when Customer presses the button
to initiate a transmission and ends approximately
six (6) seconds after completion of a
communication (i.e., when Customer or another
participant releases the button) to which no
participant responds. Customer initiates a new
Direct Connect

or Group Connect
®

Customer responds more than six (6) seconds
after the other participant completes a
communication. Nationwide Direct Connect

Airtime charges for Direct Connect
®
or Group

includes unlimited transmissions or access, are
calculated by multiplying the duration of the
transmission (including the six (6) second period
referred to above) by the applicable rate and the
number of participants. Customer will not be
charged for sending or receiving call alert
transmissions (“Call Alerts”), but will be deemed to
have initiated a new Direct Connect
®
transmission
