How We Calculate Your Charges For Billing
Purposes
Regular Voice Calls: We round up partial minutes
of use to the next full minute. 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. 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 (e.g.,
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.
Nextel 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.
Data Usage: Unless we specifically tell you
otherwise, data usage is measured in bytes,
kilobytes and megabytes - not in minutes/time.
1024 bytes equals 1 kilobyte ("KB"), and 1024 KB
equals 1 megabyte. 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. 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,
