Agreement (e.g., Early Termination Fee, etc.) still apply. If a transfer to Sprint is not
successful, you will be responsible for any discounts provided to you with the purchase
of your device. See our printed in-store materials or visit www.sprint.com for additional
important information on number transfers.
Coverage.
Available coverage areas for Services are generally identified in our mapping
brochures and at www.sprint.com. This may include coverage on our digital network
(the "Nationwide Sprint PCS Network") as well as coverage we make available to you
through agreements with other carriers ("off network" or "roaming" coverage).
All
coverage maps are high level representations of outdoor coverage and there are
gaps in coverage within areas shown as covered on the maps. Coverage is not
available everywhere, nor can we guarantee you will receive coverage at all
times, or without interruptions or delays (e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.)
in the coverage areas we identify. Actual coverage and quality of Services may be
affected by conditions within or beyond our control, including network
problems, software, signal strength, your equipment, structures (including
buildings in which you may be located), atmospheric, geographic, or
topographic conditions.
Roaming Coverage.
You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that you are
roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices and, unless included
as part of your Services, will result in additional charges. Roaming calls placed
"manually" (through an operator or with a credit card) will always incur separate and
additional charges. Depending on your phone settings, you may automatically roam if
there is a gap or interruption in coverage within the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network
coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your phone guide for how to adjust
phone settings. Certain features and services may not be available in roaming coverage
areas (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).
Charges.
Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed charges
based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation, monthly recurring
charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g., charges for long distance, roaming,
call forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). Airtime and other time based usage charges
are calculated from when your device first initiates contact with a network until the
network connection is broken, whether or not you were actually successful in
connecting to the intended destination. However, you will not be charged for voice calls
that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a busy signal. For voice calls received by your
device, you are charged from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the
call is terminated. You are charged for an entire voice call based on the time period in
which the call is initiated. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next minute.
Sprint PCS Vision Charges.
Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in minutes. Bytes
are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding occurs at the top of each clock hour while
in a session and at the end of each session and is then charged to you based on the
terms of your Services. Depending on your Services, usage may be charged against an
