How We Calculate Your Charges For Billing Purposes
Regular Voice Calls: We round up partial minutes of use to the next full minute. Time starts when
you press “Talk” or your Device connects to the network and stops when you press “End” or the
network connection otherwise breaks. You’re charged for all calls that connect, even to
answering machines. You won’t be charged for unanswered calls or if you get a busy signal. For
incoming calls answered, you’re charged from the time shortly before the Device starts ringing
until you press END or the network connection otherwise breaks. If charges vary depending on
the time of day that you place or receive calls (for example, Nights and Weekend plans), you’re
charged for the entire call based on the rate that applies to the time period in which the call
starts.
Walkie-Talkie Charges: Charges for walkie-talkie calls are billed to the person who starts the call
and calculated by multiplying the duration of the call by the applicable rate and number of
participants. You’re charged at least 6 seconds of airtime for each call you start; subsequent
communications in the same call are rounded up to and billed to the next second. Time begins
when you press any button to start a walkie-talkie call and ends approximately 6 seconds after
completion of a communication to which no participant responds – subsequent walkie-talkie
communications are considered new calls. Depending on your plan, nationwide, international or
group walkie-talkie calls may use the local walkie-talkie minutes in your plan and result in
additional charges. Responses to call alert transmissions are treated as new walkie-talkie
transmissions even when responding within 6 seconds of receiving the alert. Walkie-talkie billing
methods are subject to change as we introduce new walkie-talkie Services.
Data Usage: Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, data usage is measured in bytes, kilobytes,
megabytes, and gigabytes – not in minutes/time. 1024 bytes equals 1 kilobyte (“KB”), 1024 KB
equals 1 megabyte (MB), and 1024 MB equals 1 gigabyte. Bytes are rounded up to kilobytes, so
you will be charged at least 1 KB for each data usage session (“data session”). Rounding
occurs at the end of each data session, and sometimes during a data session. Depending on
your data Services, usage may be charged against an allowance or on a fixed price per KB, and
you may be subject to limitations on the amount of data usage. If you are charged on a fixed
price per KB, any fractional cents will be rounded up to the next cent. You are charged for all
data directed to your Device’s internet address, including data sessions you did not initiate and
for incomplete transfers. As long as your Device is connected to our data network, you may incur
data charges. Examples of data you will be charged for includes the size of a requested file or
Data Content (game, ringer, etc.), web page graphics (logos, pictures, banners, advertisement,
etc.), additional data used in accessing, transporting and routing the file on our network, data
from partial or interrupted downloads, re-sent data, and data associated with unsuccessful
attempts to reach websites or use applications. These data charges are in addition to any
charges for the Data Content itself (game, ringer, etc.). Data used and charged to you will vary
widely, even between identical actions or data sessions. Estimates of data usage – for example,
the size of downloadable files – are not reliable predictors of actual usage. Your bill won’t
separately list the number of KB attributed to a specific action/data session.
