74 Subscriber Agreement: General Terms and Conditions of Service
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 (e.g., 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.
iDEN 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.
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
