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) Charges. For PCS Vision wireless services, you will be
charged on a per kilobyte basis for data used, rather than for airtime used. As long as
your PCS Vision device is connected to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
(“PCS Vision network”), you will be incurring data usage charges. You are
responsible for all data activity from and directed to your PCS Phone, regardless of
who initiates the activity. We will invoice you for all data directed to the internet
address (or “IP address”) assigned to your device in a given PCS Vision session,
regardless of whether your device actually receives the data. You will be charged for
data usage initiated by others as well as those you initiate. You will be charged for
additional data used in transporting and routing on the network. You will be charged
for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use, including re-sent data, and
for unsuccessful attempts to reach websites and use other applications and services,
including those resulting from dropped network connections. 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. 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 and other matters. For this and other
reasons, estimates of data usage - for example, the size of downloadable files - will
vary from what you actually use. You cannot receive incoming calls while using
third generation services. Data usage 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. Your invoice will not separately identify the number
of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or services used.
