Rules and regulations
The U.S. Federal Communications
Commission and the Industry Canada
regulate cellular telephone service in
their respective countries. It is
important for you, the cellular
telephone user, to observe the
applicable regulations when operating
your cellular telephone in either
country. In addition to these U.S. and
Canadian federal regulations, you may
be bound also by certain state,
provincial, territorial, and local rules
and regulations, as well as by your
cellular carrier’s tariff (the rates, terms,
and conditions of its service). If you
wish to use your cellular telephone in
both the U.S. and Canada, please
consult with your System Operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that
your cellular telephone is a
radiotelephone, — i.e., it combines both
wireline technology, as used in your
home or office telephone system, and
radio technology — and that the scope
of regulations and precautions is
therefore broader than the scope of
regulations and precautions relating to
wireline-only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of
consideration are set out below. Please
note, however, that these “Rules and
Regulations" and "Safety Precautions”
sections do not constitute legal advice,
and are intended merely for general
information purposes. If you have
specific questions, please contact your
cellular carrier (System Operator).
License — If your home system is in the
U.S., you do not require a separate
license to operate your cellular
telephone; obtaining a cellular
telephone access number is sufficient to
register you as a user. If your home
system is in Canada, a separate license
is required; your carrier will assist you
in the licensing process. If you wish to
use your cellular phone on both sides of
the border, please contact your cellular
carrier (System Operator).
Equipment modifications — The U.S.
Federal Communications Commission
has type-approved the model of cellular
telephone which you have purchased,
and has allocated a specific frequency
range for cellular service. No changes or
adjustments are to be made to your
cellular telephone.
The radio equipment shall be made
available for inspection upon request by
representatives of the FCC or licensees.
Denial of service — A cellular carrier
may deny service temporarily or
terminate service for violation of any
government regulations or violation of
its tariff.
Privacy — As a telephone user, you have
come to assume a certain standard of
privacy when you place or receive a
telephone call via the traditional wireline
systems. However, because cellular
telephones utilize radio transmissions to
effect calls, the same standard cannot
always be assured. While it is unlawful
for any unauthorized person to divulge
or use any information obtained from
intercepting or “listening in on”
conversations intended for others, you
should not assume that your
conversation is completely secure.
Commercially available scanning
equipment can permit a third party to
monitor the radio channels used for
cellular telephone calls.
Interference — No person shall
interfere with, or cause interference to,
any radio communication or signal.
