Safety & Warranty
Charges. For most forms of wireless Service, your usage will be charged from the time you first
initiate contact between your phone or other wireless device and the network until the network
connection is broken, whether or not you are successful in connecting with the service with
which you seek to connect, even if the connection is later broken or dropped. An exception is
that you are not charged for voice calls that are not completed. You are charged for completed
calls to your Number from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is
terminated. You will be charged peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated during the
peak time periods applicable to your Service. You will be charged off-peak rates for the entire
duration of calls initiated during the off-peak time periods applicable to your Service. In addition
to these usage charges, you may be charged for recurring monthly service charges, applicable
local and long-distance toll charges, other usage charges, (including voicemail access, call
waiting, call forwarding, etc.), connection fees, roaming charges, directory assistance, call
completion charges, account review and management charges, optional features you select at an
extra cost, surcharges related to government programs, and taxes. Charges for most Services are
incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes of use rounded up to the next highest
minute. You must pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for Services provided to the Number
for each phone or other equipment that our records show you activated, no matter who actually
uses or has possession of the phone or other equipment at the time Services are provided.
PCS Vision (Third Generation) Wireless Charges. For PCS Vision wireless services, you will be
charged, on a per kilobyte basis, for data used, whether sent or received by your PCS Phone or
other wireless device, rather than for airtime used, even for certain third generation voice
services. As long as your PCS Phone or other wireless device is connected to the enhanced Third
Generation Sprint Nationwide PCS Network (“PCS Vision network”), you will be incurring data
usage charges. You cannot receive incoming calls while using third generation services. Data
usage will be measured in kilobytes and will be rounded up to the next whole kilobyte. Kilobyte
usage will be rounded up to the next full cent. Rounding up will occur at the end of each
separate session or each clock hour (at the top of each hour), if the session spans more than 1
clock hour. When traveling on our PCS Vision network, a session may be ended and new session
initiated, although no interruption to the actual data session will occur. The amount of data used
and charged to you will vary widely, depending upon the specific PCS Vision wireless
application or other service you use, the amount of data used in the specific application or
service, and network congestion. You will be charged for data exchanges initiated by other
Internet users as well as those you initiate. Estimates of data usage, for example, the size of
downloadable files, will vary from what you actually use. You will be charged for additional data
used in transporting and routing on the network. If you use a Premium Service (including
services provided by third parties but for which you are billed on your PCS Invoice), you will be
charged for data used in transport and routing in addition to the charge for the Premium Service.
You will be charged for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use, including re-sent
data, and for unsuccessful attempts to reach Web sites and use other applications and services,
