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.
Disputed Charges.
You must raise any dispute that you have about any
charges invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or you
have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by
notifying PCS Customer Service Solutions. Calls to our sales or general
business offices are not notice of a dispute. If disputed invoice
procedures are described on the invoice, you must follow them.
Account Spending Limit.
If we agree to provide Services to you on an
Account Spending Limit basis, we will tell you your Account Spending
Limit before we start Services to your Number, or as reasonably

wireless services, including some messaging services, may result in the
disclosure to others of your email address and other information about
you in connection with your internet usage. Your accessing of, or use
of, third party sites or services accessible PCS Vision wireless services
may require the disclosure of information about you, subject to the
policies of those sites and services. You consent to receiving
advertising, warnings, alerts and other messages, including broadcast
messages. Your access to PCS Vision wireless services is controlled by a
password.
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
