Voice Command.PCS Voice Command is an optional service that allows you to
place calls by using speech recognition technology.Calls to 911 or similar
emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice Command feature.
Airtime and applicable long distance charges for a call completed from your
Number using the Voice Command feature begin when you press or activate the
TALK or similar key(s)and end when your call is terminated by hitting the END key
or by returning to the Voice Command platform.If you initiate and complete
another call without leaving the Voice Command platform,a separate charge for
that call will begin from the time the previous call was terminated.Airtime and
applicable long distance charges will be applied to the entire length of a completed
call initiated from Voice Command.Using Directory Assistance to input names into
your Voice Command address book will incur additional charges.
Invoicing.Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length.Invoicing cycles
and dates may change from time to time.Except as otherwise provided in your
Service Plan,monthly recurring charges (MRCs)are invoiced one invoicing cycle in
advance.Charges for Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after the
charges accrue.We may,however,invoice you for usage and charges occurring
before the invoicing cycle being invoiced,if they were not previously invoiced.If
you are invoiced for usage incurred during a prior invoicing cycle,those minutes
will be applied to your Service Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle.
However,if you change your PCS Service Plan between the time the usage was
incurred and the beginning of the current invoicing cycle,those minutes from the
prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per minute for usage over included
minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.
Payment.If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by credit card
or by debiting a bank account,no additional notice or consent is required before we
invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for all amounts due to us or billed
by us on behalf of a third party.You must promptly notify us of any change in your
invoicing address or of the credit card or bank account used for payment.We
reserve the right to require payment by money order,cashier’s check or other
secured form of payment.If we take action to receive payment beyond invoicing
you for charges for Services or equipment,you must pay our costs and expenses of
collection,including attorneys’ fees and expenses,the fees of any collection agency
and court costs.If we act as an invoicing agent for a third-party service provider,
payments received are first applied to amounts due and owing to us and any
remaining amounts are applied to sums due and owing to the third-party service
provider.We may immediately charge an additional fee for any check or other
negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial
institution for any reason.You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.
Late Payment Charges.Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date
shown on your invoice.Any payment for Services and equipment not made when
due accrues late charges until paid at the rate of 5% per month or at the highest rate
allowed by law.Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”)
does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.If your Service has
been suspended due to non-payment,you may be charged a reactivation fee.
