Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Charges. For most forms of wireless Service, your usage will be charged from the time you first initiate contact between your phone or other wireless device and the network until the network connection is broken, whether or not you are successful in connecting with the service with which you seek to connect, even if the connection is later broken or dropped. An exception is that you are not charged for 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 by either party. 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, connection fees, roaming charges, directory assistance, call completion charges, account review and management charges optional features you select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory-related charges. 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
