162 Section 5B: Terms and Conditions
Data Usage: Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, data
usage is measured in bytes, kilobytes and megabytes – not in
minutes/time. 1024 bytes equals 1 kilobyte (“KB”), and 1024
KB equals 1 megabyte. 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. 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 Web sites 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.
Your Bill
Your bill provides you notice of your charges. It reflects
monthly recurring charges (usually billed one bill cycle in
advance) and usage/transaction specific charges (usually
billed in the bill cycle in which they’re incurred). Some usage
charges, such as those that depend on usage information
