government such as Universal Service, and for surcharges that we collect and
keep to pay for the costs of complying with government mandates such as
number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911 service. These charges are
neither taxes nor government imposed assessments.
Roaming. Calls made while off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network are “roaming”
calls. Your PCS Phone is specifically designed and engineered to work only on the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. It works on another CDMA PCS provider's
system only when a roaming agreement is in place between Sprint and the other
providers. If your PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS
provider's system (in addition to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network) and a
wireless analog telecommunications provider's system only when roaming
agreements are in place between Sprint and the other providers. If we do not have
a roaming agreement in place, you may be able to place roaming calls “manually”
by using a valid credit card. If there is a gap or other interruption of coverage
within a PCS coverage area that prevents connection with the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and your dual-band phone is set to roam automatically when outside
PCS coverage, you may incur roaming fees within a PCS coverage area. Certain
features and services may not be available when roaming (including PCS Vision,
voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).
Phones and Other Equipment. Phones and other equipment may be purchased and
returned as provided in the purchase documents. We are not the manufacturer of
the phones or other equipment. The only warranties on the phones or other
equipment are any limited warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no
liability in connection with the phones and other equipment or for the
manufacturers' acts or omissions.
Lost or Stolen Equipment. If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you
must notify us by calling PCS Customer Service Solutions. You are responsible for
all charges for Services provided to the Number for the lost or stolen equipment
before you notify us of the loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to the Number
upon notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be required to provide
evidence of the loss or theft (for example, a police report or sworn statement). If
the equipment is later found, we may require that you exchange it for another
phone or other equipment before we reactivate Services (if we do reactivate
Services), as well as require you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate
Services to any Number without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or
fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in
investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.
Messages. You will incur airtime usage charges when accessing your voicemail
from your PCS Phone. You may also incur charges in accessing text messages from
your PCS Phone. You may access your voicemail without incurring airtime usage
charges by checking your voicemail from a wireline phone. We may impose limits
on the number of voicemail or text message that can be retained through your
PCS account. Audible or visual indicators of text or voicemail messages, including
mailbox icons on your PCS Phone, may not always provide an up to date
