44 Terms and Conditions of Services
Roaming Coverage. You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that
you are roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices
and, unless included as part of your Services, will result in additional
charges. Roaming calls placed “manually” (through an operator or with a
credit card) will always incur separate and additional charges. Depending
on your phone settings, you may automatically roam if there is a gap or
interruption in coverage within the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network
coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your phone guide for how
to adjust phone settings. Certain features and services may not be
available in roaming coverage areas (including Sprint PCS Vision, voicemail,
call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).
Charges. Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed
charges based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation,
monthly recurring charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g.,
charges for long distance, roaming, call forwarding, directory assistance,
etc.). Airtime and other time based usage charges are calculated from
when your device first initiates contact with a network until the network
connection is broken, whether or not you were actually successful in
connecting to the intended destination. However, you will not be charged
for voice calls that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a busy signal. For
voice calls received by your device, you are charged from the time shortly
before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated. You are
charged for an entire voice call based on the time period in which the call is
initiated. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next minute.
Sprint PCS Vision Charges. Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in
minutes. Bytes are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding occurs at the
top of each clock hour while in a session and at the end of each session and
is then charged to you based on the terms of your Services. Depending on
your Services, usage may be charged against an allowance or on a fixed
price per kilobyte. Usage charges may be rounded up to the next cent at
monthly or other intervals. In certain instances, you may not know that
your session has not ended. As long as your device is connected to our
network, you will incur data usage charges. You will be charged for all data
directed to the internet address (or “IP address”) assigned to your device,
regardless of who initiates the activity or whether your device actually
receives the data. This includes, but is not limited to, the amount of data
associated with the particular information/item (e.g. game, ringer, email,
