If you set up service using your PCS Phone, the network
automatically communicates the ESN to us. You’ll only
need this number when you’re setting up service by
calling us from a phone other than your new PCS Phone.
The ESN, or Electronic Serial Number, is an 11-digit
number written on the barcode sticker attached to the
phone. To find it, remove the phone’s battery. (For more
information about removing and replacing your battery,
see “Installing and Removing the Battery” on page 19.)

ESN: _________________________________________

After writing down the ESN, replace the battery and
turn on your phone by holding down the key for a
few seconds.

Performance and Safety

Important Information About Your Phone and Service

Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength
icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside
a building, being near a window may give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active,
it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself
by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a
message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone
returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals.
When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the
power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in
digital mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below. To further limit RF exposure, you can limit the
duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power­efficient manner. In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) joined in updating ANSI's 1982 standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard
in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard

consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation Protections and
Measurements (NCRP).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.



Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over
your shoulder.



Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.



Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.



Speak directly into the mouthpiece.



Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and
remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or
call PCS Customer Solutions for service.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint Authorized Personnel should

service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without
a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as
to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.

When using your phone in the car:



Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial
and redial.



When available, use a hands-free device.



Position your phone within easy reach.



Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions.

47

Basics

48

Basics



Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.



Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
stationary or before pulling into traffic.



Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
divert your attention from the road.



Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your
wireless phone.



Use your phone to help others in emergencies.



Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
number when necessary.

Tip: Purchase an optional Hands-Free Car Kit.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency
(RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF
signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF signals.

Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission

before using the phone near medical equipment.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with Pacemakers:



Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6”) inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.



Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.



Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.



If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from
a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.
To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using
your phone while the plane is in the air.

49

Basics

50

Basics

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting
in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include:



Fueling areas such as gas stations.



Below deck on boats.



Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.



Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.



Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle’s engine.

Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the

compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, or make calls
that increase your phone bill.

Caring for Your Phone



Never attempt to disassemble the phone or any of its accessories.
If service or repair is required, return the unit to a Sprint
authorized service center. If the unit should be disassembled, a
risk of electric shock or fire may result.



Always use Sprint-approved accessories and optional devices
when operating this cellular phone, as the use of incompatible
auxiliary equipment could result in fire, electric shock, or other
bodily injury. The use of unauthorized accessories will also void
your Warranty.



When the phone is used for extended periods of time in high
temperature conditions the phone surface could become hot. Please
use caution when touching the phone under such conditions.



Use in Vehicles - Always secure the phone in its holder when it is
not in use. Never place the phone on the passenger seat or
anyplace else in the car where it can become a projectile during a
collision or sudden stop.



Never expose this phone to high temperatures, such as those found
near a heater or in a closed car parked in the sun. This can cause
heat-damage to the plastic parts, the electronic components, and
the battery.



Never drop this phone or subject it to violent impact or shock.
This can cause mechanical damage.



Never store this phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up
(to its normal operating temperature), moisture can form inside the
phone, which may damage the phone’s electronic circuit board.



Never use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean this phone. Always clean it with a soft cloth that has been
slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.



Never paint this phone. This can clog the moving parts.



If you at anytime notice an allergic skin reaction from use of
this product, immediately discontinue use and consult with
your physician.



Do not aim your camera at the sun. The sunlight passing through
the camera lens may cause damage to the camera.



Do not use your camera's flash close to a person's eyes. This may
cause the person to lose eyesight temporarily and result in
an accident.

Caring for Your Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.



Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These
chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other
batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.



In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures
that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).



Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity
areas, such as the bathroom.



Never dispose of the battery by incineration.



Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.



Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.



The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long
period of time.



It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times
before it needs replacing.



Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods
of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:

-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)

More than one month:

-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)



Never expose the terminals of the battery pack to any other metal
object. Always wrap it or place it in a plastic bag whenever
transporting it.



Never heat and never attempt to disassemble the battery pack, as
that could cause leakage of the caustic electrolyte. If the battery is
accidentally broken, avoid skin contact with the contents. In the
event of skin contact, wash the affected area immediately and
obtain prompt medical attention.



Always turn your phone OFF before removing the battery pack,
and always use the battery pack for its intended purpose only.

Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some

areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may
be prohibited.

Agreement. Your agreement (“Agreement”) with Sprint Spectrum L.P.

and any of its affiliates doing business as Sprint providing PCS Services
(“Services”) to you is made up of these Terms and Conditions of
Service (“Terms”) and the Service Plan that we agree to provide you.
Your “Service Plan” is described in our marketing materials, and
includes the terms, rates and features we set for that Service Plan. In
the agreement, we use the words “we,” “us,” “our” or “Sprint” to refer
to Sprint Spectrum L.P. and its affiliates doing business as Sprint. You
accept the agreement when you activate PCS Services or make any
attempt to use our PCS Services (for example, attempting to place any
call while on or roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,
using data services, etc.). We may change the Agreement at any time
by giving you prior notice. Any changes to the Agreement are effective
when we publish them. If you use our Services or make any payment to
us on or after the effective date of the changes, you accept the changes.

If we change a material term of the Agreement and that change has a
material adverse effect on you, you may terminate the Agreement
without an early termination fee by calling 1-888-211-4727 within 30
days after the invoice date of the first invoice your receive after the
changes go into effect. You understand and agree that taxes, Universal
Service fees and other charges imposed by the government or based
on government calculations may increase or decrease on a monthly
basis, and that this paragraph does not apply to any increases in such
taxes, Universal Service fees and other charges.

Provision of Service. Your purchase of a PCS Phone or other

equipment does not mean that we must provide Services to you.
We may decide not to provide Services to you for any lawful reason.
We may request that you provide us with any information we
reasonably require to determine whether you qualify for Services.
Services in some areas are managed and provided under contract with
Sprint by independent affiliates with access to the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network. Some Services may not be available or may operate
differently in certain affiliate markets or other areas.

Credit Verification. You must have and maintain satisfactory credit

to receive and continue to receive Services. We will verify your credit
before agreeing to provide Services to you and we may verify your
credit at any time while we provide Services to you. Credit verification
may include a review of credit reports that we receive from credit
bureaus. If at any time we determine, in our sole discretion, that
payment for Services may not be made when due, we may suspend
Services and require that you provide payment on account or a
guarantee of payment before we resume Services.

Service Plan. You may be eligible for a fixed length PCS Service Plan

(“Term Service Plan”) or for a month-to-month Service Plan
(“Non-Term Service Plan”). We determine the Service Plan for which
you qualify. Except as permitted by the Agreement, you must maintain
service with us on your Term Service Plan for the minimum term
associated with that Term Service Plan. We may offer non-identical
Service Plans to different individuals or entities. Services and coverage
under some Service Plans may be more limited than available under
other Service Plans. Your Service Plan sets out the charges for Services
and is your Service Plan until that Service Plan is changed, you switch

57

Basics

to a different Service Plan, or your Services terminate. Based on your
credit rating or other factors, we may require that you make a deposit,
prepayment, or a series of deposits or prepayments, or be subject to an
account spending limit, before Services are activated or maintained.

Changing Service Plans. If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you

may change to a different Service Plan for which you qualify. Any
change is effective at the start of your next full invoicing cycle unless
otherwise specified by us at the time that you place your change
order. If you change or add a different Service Plan or service feature
and the change is effective prior to the start of your next full invoicing
cycle, you will be invoiced a prorated amount. We may require a
service charge for implementing any change directed by you in
addition to the charges associated with the Service Plan or optional
service features you select. If you are on a Term Service Plan and you
want to change your service plan, you may be required to accept a
new Term Service Plan and we may require you to pay the early
termination fee set out in your Service Plan or other fee.

Termination. Non-Term Service Plan. If you are on a Non-Term

Service Plan, you may terminate Services at any time by giving us
notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we may terminate
Services at any time, with or without notice. If your Service has been
suspended due to non-payment, you may be charged a reactivation
fee. We may deactivate any Number before you receive notice of
termination without liability to you. Termination by either of us may
be with or without cause.

Termination. Term Service Plan. EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE

AGREEMENT, IF YOU TERMINATE YOUR TERM SERVICE PLAN
BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM, OR IF WE TERMINATE SERVICES
FOR CAUSE BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM, YOU WILL BE
REQUIRED TO PAY THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE ASSOCIATED
WITH YOUR TERM SERVICE PLAN. No early termination fee is charged
if you terminate a Term Service Plan in accordance with the return
policy associated with your Term Service Plan. After the expiration of
the term, the Terms relating to Non-Term Service Plans apply.

Termination. General. Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term

or a Term Service Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you
without liability if: (1) you breach any provision of this Agreement
(including if you fail to pay any charges for Services); or (2) you fail to
pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise. If Services are
terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, we will not
prorate the monthly recurring charge to the date of termination, and
you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes in your
Service Plan.

Use of Services and Equipment; Availability. You must be at least

18 years old to subscribe to our Services. We may require you to
provide proof of your age and identity. If you are under 18 years old
you may be eligible for certain Services that have Account Spending
Limits if a person 18 years or older is also named as a subscriber on the
Account. Your PCS Phone will not accept the services of any wireless
provider other than Sprint (but see Roaming). Services and
equipment may not be used for any unlawful, fraudulent or abusive
purpose. By requesting Services, you agree that you will not use
Services and equipment in any unlawful, fraudulent or abusive
manner. You may not resell or lease Services or equipment to anyone.

Coverage. Most services are only available within the operating range

of the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network(also see Roaming). Coverage is
not available everywhere. Coverage and quality of Services may be
affected by conditions within or beyond our control, including
network problems, signal strength, your equipment, and
atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions. We do not
guarantee service availability or that there will be no interruptions or
delays in Services (e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.).

Number. We assign a phone number (“Number”) to the phone or

other equipment used by you on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
We may change the Number without compensation by giving you
prior notice. You do not own the Number. You may not modify the
Number we program into any phone or other equipment, transfer or
duplicate the Number to any phone or other equipment other than
that authorized by us, or transfer the Number to any other individual
or entity.

Basics

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.

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. 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, (including
voicemail access, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.), connection fees,
roaming charges, directory assistance, call completion charges,
account review and management charges, optional features you select
at an extra cost, surcharges related to government programs, and
taxes. 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 (“PCS Vision network”), you will be incurring data usage
charges. You cannot receive incoming calls while using third
generation services. Data 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. When traveling on our
PCS Vision network, a session may be ended and new session
initiated, although no interruption to the actual data session will
occur. The amount of data used and charged to you will vary widely,
depending upon the specific PCS Vision wireless application or other
service you use, the amount of data used in the specific application or
service, and network congestion. 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 Websites 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.

PCS Vision Premium Services. Your PCS Vision wireless services

may allow you to access or download premium content for an
additional charge. Certain PCS Vision services (e.g., games, ringers
and screen savers) primarily contain premium services content.
Access to and downloading of premium content is not included with
PCS Vision services. The additional charges for this premium content
will be billed to you on your PCS Invoice. You will be charged for this
content (at rates and charges specified at the time of access or
download) that will be in addition to data usage charges you will incur

61

Basics

62

Basics

while connected to the enhanced PCS Vision network. We provide no
warranties and make no representations or claims with regard to third­party Premium Services. In certain instances, subject to the terms of
the content purchased, we may delete premium and non-premium
items downloaded to available storage areas (e.g., your vault),
including any pictures, games and other content. We may limit the
amount of Premium Services you may purchase in a specific
timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period). We may suspend
your use of Premium Services without prior consent or notice if we
have reason to suspect fraudulent or unauthorized use of your
Premium Services account, but we make no assurances that we will
suspend your account.

Other Terms Applicable to PCS Vision Wireless Usage. Use of

PCS Vision wireless services requires the purchase of a separate third
generation wireless compatible phone or other device and is subject
to any software, memory, storage or other limitation in the phone or
other equipment. Not all applications and services work, or work the
same, on all third generation wireless phones and devices. Check the
materials accompanying your phone or device to determine which
applications and services it will support. PCS Vision wireless services
are not available while off the PCS Vision network.

Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services
applications or other information provided by third parties and
accessible through PCS Vision wireless services. Neither Sprint nor its
vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy, completeness or
usefulness of information that is obtained through the PCS Vision
wireless services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.
Use of certain PCS Vision wireless services, including some messaging
services, may result in the disclosure to others of your email address
and other information about you in connection with your internet
usage. Your accessing of, or use of, third party sites or services
accessible PCS Vision wireless services may require the disclosure of
information about you, subject to the policies of those sites and
services. You consent to receiving advertising, warnings, alerts and
other messages, including broadcast messages. Your access to
PCS Vision wireless services is controlled by a password.

Voice Command. PCS Voice Command is an optional service that

allows you to place calls by using speech recognition technology.
Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be placed through
the Voice Command feature. Airtime and applicable long distance
charges for a call completed from your Number using the Voice
Command feature begin when you press or activate the TALK or
similar key(s) and end when your call is terminated by hitting the
END key or by returning to the Voice Command platform. If you
initiate and complete another call without leaving the Voice
Command platform, a separate charge for that call will begin from the
time the previous call was terminated. Airtime and applicable long
distance charges will be applied to the entire length of a completed
call initiated from Voice Command. Using Directory Assistance to
input names into your Voice Command address book will incur
additional charges.

Invoicing. Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length.

Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time. Except as
otherwise provided in your Service Plan, monthly recurring charges
(MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance. Charges for
Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after the charges
accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges
occurring before the invoicing cycle being invoiced, if they were not
previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for usage incurred during a
prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will be applied to your Service
Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle. However, if you change
your PCS Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred and
the beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those minutes from the
prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per minute for usage
over included minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the
time the usage was incurred.

Payment. If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment

by credit card or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice or
consent is required before we invoice the credit card or debit the bank
account for all amounts due to us or billed by us on behalf of a third
party. You must promptly notify us of any change in your invoicing
address or of the credit card or bank account used for payment. We
reserve the right to require payment by money order, cashier’s check

63

Basics

64

Basics

or other secured form of payment. If we take action to receive
payment beyond invoicing you for charges for Services or equipment,
you must pay our costs and expenses of collection, including
attorneys’ fees and expenses, the fees of any collection agency and
court costs. If we act as an invoicing agent for a third-party service
provider, payments received are first applied to amounts due and
owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied to sums due and
owing to the third-party service provider. We may immediately charge
an additional fee for any check or other negotiable instrument
endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any
reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.

Late Payment Charges. Payment is past due if we do not receive it by

the due date shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and
equipment not made when due accrues late charges until paid at the
rate of 5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by law. Acceptance
of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”) does not
waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us. If your Service
has been suspended due to non-payment, you may be charged a
reactivation fee.

Disputed Charges. You must raise any dispute that you have about

any charges invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice
or you have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by
notifying PCS Customer Service Solutions. Calls to our sales or general
business offices are not notice of a dispute. If disputed invoice
procedures are described on the invoice, you must follow them.

Account Spending Limit. If we agree to provide Services to you on

an Account Spending Limit basis, we will tell you your Account
Spending Limit before we start Services to your Number, or as
reasonably practicable after the limit is imposed. If we require a
deposit for you to establish or keep Services on an Account Spending
Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment
for Services (see Deposits). Charges for Services accrue against your
Account Spending Limit as they are incurred. We may charge an initial
ASL start up fee. We may charge a monthly ASL service fee, in addition
to your recurring monthly service charge. We may suspend Services
to your Number without prior notice to you when your account
balance reaches your Account Spending Limit. Services are restored

when you have paid any past due balance and pay a specified
minimum amount to reduce your account balance below your
Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum amount at any
time upon notice to you. You may pay any past due balance and the
minimum amount by any method authorized by Sprint. Contact PCS
Customer Service Solutions for information about authorized
methods of making these payments. We may charge you a fee for calls
that involve our live customer care services. If we provide Services to
you on an Account Spending Limit basis, Services and coverage may
be limited in certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services even
if they exceed the amount of your Account Spending Limit.

Clear Pay. If we agree to provide Services to you as a Clear Pay

customer, we may suspend Services to your Number without prior
notice to you immediately when your bill becomes past due. Even if
your bill is not past due, we may suspend services if your unpaid usage
exceeds $125 or another amount to be determined by your past credit
or usage history. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep
Services as a Clear Pay customer, we will hold the deposit as partial
guarantee of payment for Services (see Deposits, below). Contact PCS
Customer Service Solutions for information about authorized
methods of making these payments. We may charge you a fee for calls
that involve our live customer care services. If we provide Services to
you on as a Clear Pay basis, Services and coverage may be limited in
certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services whether or not
your Services are suspended or terminated.

Deposits. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep

Services, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for
Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time to reflect
revised estimated monthly charges based upon your usage. A deposit
may not be used to pay any invoice (unless it is used to pay a final
invoice) or delay payment. The deposit amount, the length of time
we hold the deposit and changes to the deposit amount are
determined based on your credit and payment history. The rate of
interest, if any, on the deposit is subject to change. We may mix
deposits with our other funds. If Services are terminated for any
reason, we may, without notice to you, apply your deposit toward
payment of outstanding charges and return any excess to you at your

65

last known address within 75 days after termination of Services. If the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the money to you and returns it to
us, we will hold it for you for one year from the date of return and,
during that period, we may charge a servicing fee against the deposit
balance. Any money held during this one-year period will not accrue
interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion of the money left
after the one-year period.

Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services. Wireless Web Services

are part of the Services that can be obtained through Sprint. Wireless
Web Services are not available in all markets or while roaming off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Use of Wireless Web Services
requires an Internet-ready PCS Phone or certain other equipment (or
both) and is subject to any memory, storage or other limitation in the
phone or other equipment. Wireless Web Services are not available on
PCS Vision phones or devices. The Caller ID blocking feature is not
available when using Wireless Web Services. Any use of Wireless Web
Services deducts from your Service Plan minutes. For data calls
(including Wireless Web and Voice Portal calls) that are attempted,
but not completed, you are charged for the time during which the
network attempts to connect the call. You are charged for time spent
connected to the Wireless Web or Voice Portal, including time spent
browsing on the Internet or Voice Portal and reviewing or scrolling
through Internet information on-line while still connected to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Not all Internet sites can be accessed
and you may receive an error message if you attempt to access a site
that cannot be accessed through Wireless Web Services. You are also
charged for Wireless Web connections to review your PCS account
information. Wireless Web Services are not available with all Service
Plans. Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements,
services or other information provided by third-parties and accessible
through Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. Neither
Sprint nor its vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy,
completeness or usefulness of information that is obtained through
the Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. You are
responsible for evaluating such content.

Taxes and Surcharges. We invoice you for taxes, fees and other

charges levied by or remitted directly to federal, state or local
authorities, or foreign government on Services including, without
limitation, sales, gross receipts, use, and excise taxes. If you claim
any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt
document. Any tax exemption applies only from the date we receive
a valid tax-exempt document.

We also invoice you for fees that we collect and remit to the
government such as Universal Service, and for surcharges that we
collect and keep to pay for the costs of complying with government
mandates such as number pooling and portability, and Enhanced
911 service. These charges are neither taxes nor government
imposed assessments.

Roaming. Calls made while off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network

are “roaming” calls. Your PCS Phone is specifically designed and
engineered to work only on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. It
works on another CDMA PCS provider’s system only when a roaming
agreement is in place between Sprint and the other providers. If your
PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS
provider’s system (in addition to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network)
and a wireless analog telecommunications provider’s system only
when roaming agreements are in place between Sprint and the other
providers. If we do not have a roaming agreement in place, you may
be able to place roaming calls “manually” by using a valid credit card.
If there is a gap or other interruption of coverage within a PCS
coverage area that prevents connection with the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and your dual-band phone is set to roam automatically
when outside PCS coverage, you may incur roaming fees within a PCS
coverage area. Certain features and services may not be available
when roaming (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call waiting, call
forwarding, etc.).

67

Phones and Other Equipment. Phones and other equipment may be

purchased and returned as provided in the purchase documents. We
are not the manufacturer of the phones or other equipment. The only
warranties on the phones or other equipment are any limited
warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no liability in
connection with the phones and other equipment or for the
manufacturers’ acts or omissions.

Lost or Stolen Equipment. If your phone or other equipment is lost or

stolen, you must notify us by calling PCS Customer Service Solutions.
You are responsible for all charges for Services provided to the
Number for the lost or stolen equipment before you notify us of the
loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to the Number upon
notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be required to provide
evidence of the loss or theft (for example, a police report or sworn
statement). If the equipment is later found, we may require that you
exchange it for another phone or other equipment before we
reactivate Services (if we do reactivate Services), as well as require
you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate Services to any
Number without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or
fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably with
us in investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.

Messages. You will incur airtime usage charges when accessing your

voicemail from your PCS Phone. You may also incur charges in
accessing text messages from your PCS Phone. You may access your
voicemail without incurring airtime usage charges by checking your
voicemail from a wireline phone. We may impose limits on the
number of voicemail or text message that can be retained through
your PCS account. Audible or visual indicators of text or voicemail
messages, including mailbox icons on your PCS Phone, may not
always provide an up to date indication of new messages. In certain
instances, you may be required to manually reset or clear your
mailbox indicator.

Caller ID. If you do not want people you call to receive the Number

assigned to your phone, you must call PCS Customer Service Solutions
for information about automatic Caller ID blocking. The Number
assigned to your phone can be blocked on a per-call basis by dialing
*67 + Destination Number + TALK (or similar key), but Caller ID
delivery resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID display on
incoming calls to your Number depends on receiving the information
from the calling party.

TTY Access. A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a

telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard
of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone. TTY doesn’t work with all PCS Phones. If
you have a PCS TTY-capable phone, it may not function effectively, or
at all, when attempting 911 calls due to the equipment or software of
the answering agency. Therefore, a TTY device should not be relied
on for 911 calls.

Pay-Per-Call Service. We will not complete calls from your Number

to 900, 976 and similar numbers for pay-per-call services.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. ANY CLAIM,

CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE OF ANY KIND BETWEEN THE
CUSTOMER AND THE COMPANY AND/OR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING
FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, OR
ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF
THE DATE OF ACCRUAL OF SUCH CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR
DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING
ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF
WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. HOWEVER,
NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL
PRECLUDE THE CUSTOMER FROM RESOLVING ANY CLAIM,
CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT HE OR SHE
OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE.

A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the
arbitration. The arbitrator will be selected according to the rules of
CPR or, alternatively, may be selected by agreement of the parties,
who shall cooperate in good faith to select the arbitrator. The
arbitration will be conducted by, and under the then-applicable rules
of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. All expedited procedures
prescribed by the applicable rules will apply. Any required hearing
fees and costs shall be paid by the parties as required by the applicable
rules or as required by applicable law, but the arbitrator shall have the
power to apportion such costs as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

71

Basics

72

Basics

The arbitrator's decision and award will be final and binding (subject
to the appeal clause below), and judgment on the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

An appeal may be taken under the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure
from any final award of any arbitral panel in any arbitration arising out
of or related to this agreement that is conducted in accordance with
the requirements of such Appeal Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed
by the parties and the appeal tribunal, the appeal shall be conducted
at the place of the original arbitration.

If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim
that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such
action or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the
other party's costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or
compelling arbitration, including attorney’s fees.

Notices. You may get our current address for written notice by

calling PCS Customer Service Solutions. Written notice to you is sent
to your last known address in our invoicing records. Written notice is
effective three days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid,
and properly addressed. Unless required by this Agreement or
Applicable Laws, (1) you may notify us by calling PCS Customer
Service Solutions, and (2) we may notify you by leaving a message for
you on your PCS Phone, answering machine or with your answering
service. Notice addresses may be changed by giving notice as
provided in this section.

Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and

must be construed under federal law and the laws of the State of
Kansas, without regard to choice of law principles.

General. If either of us does not enforce any right or remedy available

under this Agreement, that failure is not a waiver of the right or
remedy for any other breach or failure by the other party. Our waiver
of any requirement in any one instance is not a general waiver of that
requirement and does not amend this Agreement. This Agreement is
subject to any applicable federal and state law (collectively,
“Applicable Laws”). If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable, that part is interpreted consistent with Applicable
Laws as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the

parties and the rest of this Agreement remains in full force and effect.
Section headings are for descriptive purposes only and are not used to
interpret this Agreement. You may not assign this Agreement to any
other person or entity without our prior written approval. This
Agreement (including any referenced documents and attachments)
makes up the entire agreement between you and us and replaces all
prior written or spoken agreements, representations, promises or
understandings between you and us. The provisions of this
Agreement that are contemplated to be enforceable after the
termination of this Agreement survive termination of this Agreement.
If there is a conflict, the Service Plan (including any Term Service
Plan) controls over the Terms.

In order to register you as a member of the Service, we ask you to

occasionally, at other times while using the Service. All uses of your
information will be in accordance with our privacy policy, as set forth
in the following Privacy Policy. As this policy may be updated from
time to time, a current version can be found at www

.sprintpcs.com.

PRIVACY POLICY

(a) Sprint respects the privacy of its customers, and other individuals

and businesses using the Websites owned and operated by Sprint and
its Affiliates (“Sprint Websites”). This updated Privacy Policy effective
October 22, 2001, is to keep you informed about the types of
information collected on Sprint Websites and how the information is
used and protected. The revised Privacy Policy includes information
about advertisements on Sprint Websites and access to your account
information.

Sprint protects the privacy of its local, long distance and wireless
customers consistent with the Federal Telecommunications Act and
rules and regulations issued by the Federal Communications
Commission.

Sprint's Privacy Policy for its high speed Internet services can be
accessed at: www

.sprint.com/privacypolicy/broadbandservices.

There are two types of information that may be exchanged between
the Sprint site and the user during each visit to a Sprint site. They are:

1. General technical data transmitted between your computer and
the Sprint site that does not identify you personally.

2. Personally identifiable information that you voluntarily share. The
types of personally identifiable information that you might share
include your name, address, phone number, email address and credit
card number.

(b) Anonymous Information

In order to provide you with the information and services that you
look for from the Sprint Websites, Sprint gathers certain types of
information from you that are not personally identifiable. This is
called anonymous information and includes:

1. The type of Internet browser you use when you visit

2. The types of computer operating system you use

77

Basics

78

Basics

3. The search engine you use to access the Sprint Websites (such as

“AOL.com,” “Yahoo.com” or “Go.com”)

4. The specific Sprint Website that you visit (sprint.com

,

sprintpcs.com

, etc.).

The anonymous information collected is not associated with you
personally or your business. Sprint uses this anonymous information
in the aggregate to improve Sprint Websites and the services we
provide through those sites.

(c) Use Of Cookies

Sprint Websites may use “cookies” to collect the anonymous
information described in this Privacy Policy. Cookies are bits of
encrypted data that are loaded by a Sprint server onto your computer
or other device when you visit a Sprint Website. The server can retrieve
the cookies the next time you visit a site and use them to identify the
computer as a return visitor. Sprint uses cookies to collect non­personally identifiable information and generically track usage patterns
on the Sprint Websites in order to monitor activity and administer the
sites. Sprint also uses information obtained from cookies to improve
Sprint Websites, and make decisions concerning advertising, product
offerings and services. Most users can disable cookies from their
Internet browsers, receive a warning before a cookie is placed on their
computer, and erase all cookies from their computer hard drives by
following the instructions provided by the browser.

(d) Advertisements On Sprint Websites

Advertising companies deliver ads on some Sprint Websites. You
should be aware that when you click on these ads, the advertising
companies may also deploy cookies to receive anonymous
information about ad viewing by Internet users on Sprint Websites
and other Websites. This information is associated with your Web
browser, but cannot be associated with your name or email address
without your permission. Therefore, advertising companies may
know where your computer goes on the Web, but they do not know
who you are unless you tell them. Sprint does not provide personally
identifiable information about its customers or Sprint Website visitors
to these advertising companies.

(e) Personally Identifiable Information

Sprint may ask you to provide what is often referred to as “personally
identifiable information” such as your name, address, telephone
number and email address when you use Sprint Websites to: purchase
a service or product online, enter a contest or sweepstakes, ask to
receive information, respond to a survey, register with a Sprint Website,
access your account, ask for a personalized service, request customer
service online, or apply for a job. You always have the alternative of
mailing or calling Sprint with the information requested if you do not
wish to provide it online. Personally identifiable information provided
at a Sprint Website to order Sprint services other than Internet
services will be protected in the same manner as when the
information is provided by other means such as over the telephone or
by mail. We protect customer information obtained from the local,
long distance and wireless service customers of Sprint consistent with
federal laws governing telecommunications services and with
regulations issued by the Federal Communications Commission.
Sprint's Privacy Policy for its Internet services can be accessed at:

www

.sprint.com/privacypolicy/broadbandservices.

We use personally identifiable information provided at a Sprint Website
in the following ways unless otherwise specified:

1. For its intended purpose (such as to complete an online order
for service).

2. To provide you with information about new PCS Products and
Services or products and services offered in conjunction with Sprint
business partners.

(f) Disclosure To Third Parties

Sprint will not sell or disclose to outside parties any personally
identifiable information obtained from a Sprint online service or the
registration at a Sprint Website without your consent except under
the following circumstances:

1. When required by law,

2. When disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a customer,
third party or Sprint's property,

79

Basics

80

Basics

3. If it is required in connection with any sale or transfer of all or a

portion of Sprint's assets.

When Sprint uses agents, contractors or other companies to perform
services on its behalf, Sprint will require that they protect your
personally identifiable information consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Sprint may share the anonymous information described in this Privacy
Policy with third parties from time-to-time.

(g) Email Communications

Email is an increasingly popular communication tool through which
you and your business may communicate with Sprint. Likewise, Sprint
may use email to communicate with you, respond to your email, and
to tell you about new products and services. If you do not wish to
receive email promotions and new products and service
announcements from Sprint, please follow the instructions that
appear at the end of the email communication that you receive from
Sprint to have your name removed from the list.

(h) Security

Sprint utilizes several encryption methods to ensure that the data you
submit on any of the Sprint Websites is secure. Through this “secure
session,” information that you input into a Sprint online order form
will be sent and will arrive privately and unaltered at a Sprint server.
This security prohibits access to your information by other companies
and Web users.

(i) Children

Sprint does not intend to collect personally identifiable information
from individuals under 18 years of age. If Sprint becomes aware that a
user who is under 18 is using a Sprint Website, Sprint will specifically
instruct that individual that they are not to submit information on
Sprint Websites without a parent or guardian's consent. If a child has
provided Sprint with personally identifiable information without the
knowledge of Sprint, a parent or guardian of the child may contact
Sprint at [email protected]

and Sprint will delete the child's

information from our existing files.

(j) Links

Some Sprint Websites contain links to other Websites that are owned
and operated by parties other than Sprint. Please be aware that this

Privacy Policy does not extend to any Websites other than those
owned and controlled by Sprint.

(k) Account Information

You may always contact us at [email protected] or by telephone
or mail to verify your name, address, email address, telephone number
and/or billing information. Sprint will correct any information that is
inaccurate.

(l) Questions

If you have questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, you
may contact us at [email protected]

. If you have submitted
personally identifiable information, and would like that information
deleted from our records, please contact us at our email address,

[email protected]

. We will use reasonable efforts to delete that

information from our files.

(m) Updates

Sprint may amend this Privacy Policy from time-to- time. These
changes will be posted online.

9. Usage and Storage

We and our suppliers assume no responsibility for: (1) any full or
partial loss, deletion or failure to store your pictures or any other data;
(2) any notice or lack of notice of such loss, deletion or failure to store
your data; or (3) any correct or erroneous informing of or failure to
inform user of such loss, deletion or failure to store your data. From
time to time we may establish an upper limit on the size of data storage
that you are permitted to use on the Service and/or an upper limit on
the frequency or amount of usage that you are permitted on the
Service or related software. We may establish a reasonable period of
time (for example, three months) such that if you do not use the
Service at least once during such period, we may terminate the
Service to you for non-use, and delete pictures and other data that you
may have stored through the Service.

10. No Resale of Service or Software

Your membership account is intended only for personal,
noncommercial use. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell,
resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the

accessing any information or material through the Service. You agree
that you, the member, will bear all risk associated with any content

subject to our Terms. You agree that your sole remedy for any damage
or loss of any materials that you submit to us for processing, printing,
storage, transmission or other handling, even if caused by negligence
or other fault, will only entitle you to replacement with a like amount
of unexposed film and processing. EXCEPT FOR THE EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY OF REPLACEMENT, THE HANDLING OF ANY FILM, PRINT,

cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service must be
filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be
forever barred. The failure of Sprint to exercise or enforce any right or
provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or
provision.

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent

should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in
the provision, and that the other provisions of the Terms shall be valid
