How We Calculate Your Charges For
Billing Purposes
Regular Voice Calls:
We round up partial
minutes of use to the next full minute. Time
starts when you press “Talk” or your Device
connects to the network and stops when
you press “End” or the network connection
otherwise breaks. You’re charged for all
calls that connect, even to answering
machines, voicemail, or voice transcription
services. You won’t be charged for
unanswered calls or if you get a busy
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
(for example, 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. Call time for a single
call may be subject to a maximum duration
and may be automatically terminated if
the maximum duration is exceeded. Rates
that vary based on the time of access will
be determined based on the location of
the network equipment providing service
and not the location of your Device or your
Device’s area code (if applicable).
Push-to-Talk Charges:
Charges for
push-to-talk 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 push-to-talk
call and ends approximately 6 seconds
after completion of a communication
