upon activation and automatically
assessed for subsequent subscription
periods. Subscription Services offered on a
recurring basis do not end until terminated
by you or us. Subscription charges for
recurring Services occur at the beginning
of each bill cycle. Information regarding
your bill cycle for subscription Services will
be provided when you order the Services.
For Services offered on a per-day basis, you
will generally be charged for use before or
at the time of use. In certain instances, we
may charge you at some point after you use
the Services. Unless otherwise disclosed,
Services offered on a per-day 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.
78 General Terms and Conditions of Service
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 to which
no participant responds. Subsequent push-
to-talk communications are considered
new calls. Charges apply for the entire
period of time the push-to-talk call is
v.7-1-13
v.7-1-13
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,
