Phone Activation Fee. You may be required to pay a non-refundable phone activation fee when you activate a
new Number, have us switch a Number to a different phone, have your current Number changed, we activate a
different phone on your existing account or your Service Plan says so. Details on any applicable phone activation
fee are set out in your Service Plan or can be obtained by calling PCS Customer Service Solutions.
Charges. For most forms of wireless Service, your usage will be charged from the time you first initiate contact
between your phone or other wireless device and the network until the network connection is broken, whether or
not you are successful in connecting with the service with which you seek to connect, even if the connection is
later broken or dropped. An exception is that you are not charged for voice calls that are not completed. You are
charged for completed calls to your Number from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is
terminated by either party. You will be charged peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated during the peak
time periods applicable to your Service. You will be charged off-peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated
during the off-peak time periods applicable to your Service. In addition to these usage charges, you may be
charged for recurring monthly service charges, applicable local and long-distance toll charges, other usage
charges, connection fees, roaming charges, directory assistance, call completion charges, account review and
management charges optional features you select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory-related charges.
Charges for most Services are incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes of use rounded up to the
next highest minute. You must pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for Services provided to the Number for
each phone or other equipment that our records show you activated, no matter who actually uses or has
possession of the phone or other equipment at the time Services are provided.
PCS Vision (Third Generation) Wireless Charges. For PCS Vision wireless services, you will be charged, on a
per kilobyte basis, for data used, whether sent or received by your PCS Phone or other wireless device, rather than
for airtime used, even for certain third generation voice services. As long as your PCS Phone or other wireless
device is connected to the enhanced (Third Generation) Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you will be incurring
data usage charges. You cannot receive incoming calls while using third generation services. Data packet usage
will be measured in kilobytes and will be rounded up to the next whole kilobyte. Kilobyte usage will be rounded up
to the next full cent. Rounding up will occur at the end of each separate session or each clock hour (at the top of
each hour), if the session spans more than 1 clock hour. The number of data packets used and charged to you will
vary widely, depending upon the specific PCS Vision wireless application or other service you use and the amount
of data used in the specific application or service. You will be charged for data exchanges initiated by other
Internet users as well as those you initiate. Estimates of data usage, for example, the size of downloadable files,
will vary from what you actually use. You will be charged for additional data used in transporting and routing on
the network. If you use a Premium Service (including services provided by third parties but for which you are
billed on your PCS Invoice), you will be charged for data used in transport and routing in addition to the charge
for the Premium Service. You will be charged for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use, including
re-sent data, and for unsuccessful attempts to reach Web sites and use other applications and services, including
those resulting from dropped network connections. Your invoice will not separately identify the number of
kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or services used. Specific additional information about
