may charge you at some point after you use the Services. Unless otherwise disclosed, Services offered
on a perday basis end 24 hours after Service is initiated.

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-
totalk call and ends approximately 6 seconds after completion of a communication to which no participant
responds. Subsequent pushto-talk communications are considered new calls. Charges apply for the
entire period of time the push-to-talk call is connected to our network. Depending on your plan,
nationwide, international, or group push-to-talk calls may use the local push-to-talk minutes in your plan
and result in additional or different charges. Responses to call alert transmissions are treated as new
push-to-talk transmissions even when responding within 6 seconds of receiving the alert. Push-to-talk
billing methods are subject to change as we introduce new push-to-talk Services.
Data Usage: Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, data usage is measured in bytes, kilobytes,
megabytes, and gigabytes—not in minutes/time. 1024 bytes equals 1 kilobyte (―KB‖), 1024 KB equals 1
megabyte, and 1024 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte. Bytes are rounded up to KB, so you will be charged
at least 1 KB for each data usage session (―data session‖). Rounding occurs at the end of each data
session, and sometimes during a data session. Depending on your data Services, usage may be charged
against an allowance or on a fixed price per KB, and you may be subject to limitations on the amount of
data usage. If you are charged on a fixed price per KB, any fractional cents will be rounded up to the next
cent. You are charged for all data directed to your Device's Internet address, including data sessions you
did not initiate and for incomplete transfers. As long as your Device is connected to our data networks,
you may incur data charges. Examples of data for which you will be charged includes the size of a
requested file or Data Content (game, ringer, etc.); Web page graphics (logos, pictures, banners,
advertisement, etc.); additional data used in accessing, transporting, and routing the file on our network;
data from partial or interrupted downloads; re-sent data; and data associated with unsuccessful attempts
to reach websites or use applications. These data charges are in addition to any charges for the Data
Content itself (game, ringer, etc.). Data used and charged to you will vary widely, even between identical
actions or data sessions. Estimates of data usage—for example, the size of downloadable files—are not
reliable predictors of actual usage. Your bill won't separately list the number of KB attributed to a specific
action/data session.
