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. 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 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 Web sites 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.
Your Bill
Your bill provides you notice of your charges. It reflects monthly recurring charges
(usually billed one bill cycle in advance) and usage/transaction specific charges
(usually billed in the bill cycle in which they’re incurred). Some usage charges, such
as those that depend on usage information from a third party, may be billed in
subsequent bill cycles and result in higher than expected charges for that month.
Bill cycles and dates may change from time to time. Your bill may also include other
important notices (for example, changes to this Agreement, to your Service, legal
notices, etc.). Your paper bill may not include individual call detail. Your call detail is
available online. Paper bills with call detail may be subject to an additional charge.
If you choose internet billing, you will not receive paper bills.
Your Payments; Late Fees
Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. If we do not receive payment in full by
the date specified on your bill, a late payment charge, which may be charged at
the highest rate permissible by law, may be applied to the total unpaid balance.
We may also charge you any costs we pay to a collection agency to collect unpaid
balances from you. If we bill you for amounts on behalf of a third party, payments
received are first applied to our charges. You may be charged additional fees for
certain methods of payment. We may charge you, up to the highest amount
permitted by law, for returned checks or other payments paid by you and denied
