You may have the opportunity to purchase Services on a subscription basis where we assess "subscription
charges" – charges that allow you access to the Services and/or provide you a certain amount of use of the
Services for a defined period of time. Depending on your Service, certain types of subscription charges may
be assessed automatically 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.
How We Calculate Your Charges For Billing Purposes
We round up partial minutes of use to the next full minute. Time starts when you press
Regular Voice Calls:
"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. 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.
Walkie-Talkie Charges: Charges for walkie-talkie 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 walkie-
talkie call and ends approximately 6 seconds after completion of a communication to which no participant
responds – subsequent walkie-talkie communications are considered new calls. Depending on your plan,
nationwide, international or group walkie-talkie calls may use the local walkie-talkie minutes in your plan
and result in additional charges. Responses to call alert transmissions are treated as new walkie-talkie
transmissions even when responding within 6 seconds of receiving the alert. Walkie-talkie billing methods
are subject to change as we introduce new walkie-talkie 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 (MB), and 1024 MB equals 1 gigabyte. Bytes are rounded up to kilobytes, 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 network, you
may incur data charges. Examples of data you will be charged for includes the size of a requested file or
