the list.
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available)
and Internal Phone Book entry name (if the phone number

the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed text versions of popular
Internet sites, including Yahoo!®, Amazon.com®, The
Weather Channel®, and more. Browsing the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web using your phone is different than using a

reduce their graphics.

vary depending on your service option.

You may notice that sometimes the MiniBrowser will
launch without placing a call. This is because the phone
stores recently viewed pages in its memory cache. The
MiniBrowser will connect automatically when you access a
page that's not stored in the cache.
If the phone has been inactive for a while and a new
wireless Internet site has not been requested, the
MiniBrowser will automatically disconnect. The
MiniBrowser will remain active – only the connection will
end. The MiniBrowser will automatically reconnect when
you go to a wireless Internet site that's not stored in the
phone's memory cache. For this reason, you may find that
you are billed for several network connections within a
single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize
airtime charges.
When launching the MiniBrowser, you may need to take an
extra step or see a reminder that MiniBrowser calls will be
charged. If you need to take an extra step, see “Web Guard”
on page 137 to disable the setting.

Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines

157

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
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 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 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 on, it periodically rechecks service
availability or you can check 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.

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the back of the phone kept 0.60 inches (1.5 cm) from the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.60 inches (1.5 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back
of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or
retracted. All belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
used by this device must not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.
Note: For more information about RF exposure, please visit
the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

Understanding

Body-worn Operation

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a
minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.

Performance

CAUTION

Safety Information:
FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before
using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and
Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines 159

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount
of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless
handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models
are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less that the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a
base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What
is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,
variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by
the public.
The highest reported SAR values of SCP-6000 are:
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.28 W/kg; Body-worn:
1.05 W/kg.

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
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 hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone Note:

Agreement

Your agreement ("Agreement") with Sprint Spectrum L.P.
and any of its affiliates doing business as Sprint PCS
providing Sprint Personal Communications Services
("Services") to you is made up of these Terms and
Conditions of Service ("Terms") and the Service Plan we
agree to provide you. Your "Service Plan" is described in our
marketing materials and includes the rates and features we
set for that Service Plan. We use the words "we," "us," "our"
or "Sprint PCS" to refer to Sprint Spectrum L.P. and its
affiliates doing business as Sprint PCS in these Terms.
When you activate Services or attempt to use our Services
(including, without limitation, attempting to place a call
on the Sprint PCS Network or off the Sprint PCS Network
when roaming, including "911" or similar calls), you
accept the Agreement.

170

Section 18
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information

Provision of Service

Your purchase of Sprint PCS phones 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 PCS by
independent affiliates with access to the Sprint PCS
Network. Some Services may not be available or may
operate differently in certain affiliate markets.
Credit Verification

Warranty/Terms
and Conditions

You must have and keep 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 commercially available credit bureaus. We
may require a guarantee of payment by an individual or
entity approved by us. If at any time we determine, in our
sole discretion, that payment for Services may not be made
when due, we may suspend Services to your phone and
require that you provide payment on account or a
guarantee of payment before we resume Services to your
phone.
Changes to Agreement

We may change this Agreement at any time (but see Service
Plans). Any changes to the Terms are effective when we
provide you with notice. 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 you do not accept the changes,
you may terminate Services (but see Termination;
Changing Service Plans). For purposes of the Agreement,
"use" includes keeping the right to access the Sprint PCS
Network by not terminating Services. You may not modify

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 171

the Agreement except for your Service Plan (see
Termination; Changing Service Plans).
Service Plan

You may be eligible for a fixed length 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. We may offer non-identical Service
Plans to different individuals or entities. Services and
coverage under some Service Plans may be more limited as
compared to 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 to a different Service
Plan, or your Services terminate. Your Service Plan 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 by contacting
us. 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 for the period
during the previous invoicing cycle that the new Service
Plan or service feature was effective. We may require a
service charge for implementing any change directed by
you and the Service Plan or optional service features you
selected. If you are on a Term Service Plan, your ability to
change to another Service Plan may be limited and we may
require you to pay a termination fee as set out in your
Service Plan.

other equipment used by you on the Sprint PCS Network.
We may change the Number by giving you prior notice. You
do not own the Number. You may not (1) modify the
Number we program into any phone or other equipment,
(2) transfer or duplicate the Number to any phone or other
equipment other than that authorized by us, or (3) transfer
the Number to any other individual or entity.

Warranty/Terms
and Conditions

You must be at least 18 years old to subscribe to our Services
(other than on a Prepaid Service Plan). 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. 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. Services are
available within the operating range of the Sprint PCS
Network. Coverage and quality of Services may be affected
by conditions beyond our control, including atmospheric,
geographic, or topographic conditions. We do not
guarantee that there will be no interruptions or delays in
Services. Your Sprint PCS Phone™ will not accept the
services of any wireless provider other than Sprint PCS (but
see Roaming).

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, or we activate a
different phone on your existing account. Details on any
applicable phone activation fee are set out in your Service

Plan or can be obtained by calling Sprint PCS Customer
Care.
Charges

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. These charges
include, but are not limited to, recurring monthly service
charges, applicable local and long-distance toll charges,
usage charges, connection fees, roaming charges, directory
assistance, call completion charges, optional features you
select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory
related charges. Charges for a completed call from your
Number that is dialed manually begin when you press the
TALK (or similar key) and end when the call is terminated
by either party. You are invoiced for completed calls to your
Number from the time shortly before the phone starts
ringing until the call is terminated by either party. Charges
for most Services are incurred in one-minute increments,
with partial minutes of use rounded up to the next highest
minute. Certain Service Plans do not include itemized
message transmission detail, even for measured service.
Other Services are invoiced on a recurring monthly flat rate
charge and you do not receive itemized message
transmission detail on them.
Voice Command

The Sprint PCS Voice Command feature an optional service
that allows you to place calls without manually dialing 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
that is dialed using the Voice Command feature begin when
you press or activate the TALK or similar key (including the
## keys for making subsequent calls) and end when your
174

Section 18
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information

call is terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to
the Voice Command platform. If you initiate and complete
a subsequent 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 the Voice
Command feature, including the entire amount of time
spent interacting with the Voice Command platform. Using
Directory Assistance to input names into your Voice
Command address book will incur additional charges.
Details on charges for the Voice Command feature can be
found in the marketing materials for this feature or by
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care.
Invoicing

Warranty/Terms
and Conditions

18
18

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. Airtime is invoiced retroactively to the first
minute based on your Service Plan for your total usage in
your invoicing cycle. Charges for Services are usually
invoiced as soon as possible after the charges accrue (unless
you are receiving Services under a Sprint PCS Prepaid
Service Plan). 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
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
applicable per minute overage rate set out in the Service
Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 175

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 (including
any late charges, taxes or other regulatory related charges)
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 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 charge an additional fee for any check or
other negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned
unpaid by a financial institution for any reason.
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 1.5% per month or at the highest rate
allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each day
that payment is past due, but are not compounded
monthly. 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.
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
176

Section 18
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information

dispute by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. Calls to our
sales or general business offices are not notice of a dispute.
You do not have to pay any properly disputed amounts
while we investigate them; however, you must pay amounts
not in dispute by the due date. If disputed invoice
procedures are described on the invoice, you must follow
them.
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. We may terminate
Services at any time, with or without notice (subject to this
Agreement). We may deactivate any Number before you
receive notice of termination (if we give any notice) without
liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or
without cause.
Termination. Term Service Plan.
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions

18
18

If you are on a Term Service Plan, (1) your ability to
terminate Services before the end of the term is limited, (2)
your ability to change to another Service Plan before the
end of the term may be limited and may result in a
termination and/or activation fee, (3) you may be required
to pay a termination fee as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, (4) we may not terminate Services without cause
before the end of the term and (5) if we terminate Services
for cause before the end of the term you may be required to
pay a termination fee as liquidated damages. No
termination fee is charged if you terminate a Term Service
Plan within 14 days of activation of your Sprint PCS Phone.
During the term we must give each other notice to
terminate Services. At and after the expiration of the term,
you may terminate Services at any time by giving us notice
and we may subject to this Agreement terminate Services at
any time, with or without notice.

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 177

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 (1) if you breach any provision of this
Agreement (including if you fail to pay any charges for
Services) or (2) if you fail to pay any charges due us for
equipment or otherwise. If you promptly cure the breach,
we may, but are not obligated to, reactivate Services to you.
You must pay all charges for (1) Services provided before
termination of a Number and (2) equipment, regardless of
who terminates Services. If Services are terminated before
the end of your current invoicing cycle, (1) the monthly
recurring charge is not prorated to the date of termination,
and (2) you will not receive a credit or refund for any
unused minutes in your Service Plan.
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,
below). Charges for Services accrue against your Account
Spending Limit as they are incurred. 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 PCS. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care for information
about authorized methods of making these payments. If we
provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit basis,

178

Section 18
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information

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.
Deposits

Warranty/Terms
and Conditions

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 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 any excess is returned
to you at your 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 we may
charge a monthly 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.
Prepaid Service Plans. General.

(Prepaid Services are not available in Southern California,
Hawaii or certain Sprint PCS affiliate markets.) If we
provide Services to you on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service
Plan, you may be required to pay an Initial Prepaid Service
Fee to establish your prepaid account with us. This Initial
Prepaid Service Fee is non-refundable and does not apply
against charges for phone calls you make or receive or
service charges. You must keep a positive balance in your
prepaid account in order to make or receive calls. The
balance in your prepaid account is reduced by daily or

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 179

monthly service charges (or both), in addition to the
charges for the phone calls you make and receive. Charges
for Prepaid Services are invoiced in one-minute increments
and deducted from your prepaid account balance. Partial
minutes of use are rounded up to the next highest minute.
If you add additional options to your prepaid account, the
monthly charges for them will be deducted from your
prepaid account which could bring your account balance to
$0 or below. When you have used all of the money in your
prepaid account, Services are suspended until you add
money to your account. You may add money to your
prepaid account by any means we agree to accept (e.g.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Cards). If you do not have any
money in your prepaid account for 45 consecutive days, you
will have to pay a reconnection fee to restore Services.
During this 0-45 day period with a $0 balance, your daily or
monthly service charges (or both) will continue to accrue
and you must pay any accrued charges plus a reconnection
fee before Services are restored. If you do not have any
money in your prepaid account for 90 consecutive days, we
close the account. If you wish to restore Services in the
future, you will be subject to current Sprint PCS Prepaid
Service Plan availability and the current Terms; in
addition, you may be charged a reactivation fee. If you call
us toll-free at 1-888-263-9695, we can provide information
about adding money to your prepaid account, the fees for
restoring or reactivating Services, Number availability and
balance information. You must pay all charges for Services
used by you whether or not they are more than the amount
of money in your prepaid account. Services and coverage
under Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans may be more
limited than under other Service Plans. Money in your
prepaid account may be mixed with our money. We do not
pay interest on money in your prepaid account. We do not
refund unused money in your prepaid account and will not
transfer unused money to anyone else or any other Sprint
PCS prepaid or non-prepaid account.
180

Section 18
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information

Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(Daily Service Charge)

If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Daily Service
Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account once each
day, which could bring your account balance to $0 or
below. You can avoid disruption in Services by keeping a
positive balance in your account. Even if your account
balance reaches $0, the Daily Service Charge continues to
accrue for 45 consecutive days, causing your account
balance to become negative. After 45 consecutive days with
a $0 or negative balance, we will charge you a reconnection
fee in addition to the accrued Daily Service Charge to
restore Services.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(Monthly Service Charge)

If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan does not have a
Monthly Service Charge and you have not added money to
your account for 60 consecutive days, your account balance
is forfeited. If you add money to your prepaid account
within the 60 day period, your prior account balance and
the money added are carried forward for another 60
consecutive days.

Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(No Monthly Service Charge)

Warranty/Terms
and Conditions

If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Monthly
Service Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account on
the first day of each month. This could bring our account
balance to $0 or below. You can avoid disruption in Services
by adding enough money to your account before the end of
each month to cover the Monthly Service Charge and keep a
positive balance in your account.

Prepaid Wireless Cards

Each Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Card has an expiration
date on it. If you purchase a Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless
Card and have a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan, you can

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 181

only use the card to add money to your prepaid account.
The card must be used to add money to your prepaid
account before the card’s expiration date. If you obtain a
promotional Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Card and do not
have a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan, you can use the
card to make prepaid phone calls that will not show up on
your monthly invoice. You will not be able to use the card
after the expiration date or 60 consecutive days after
making your first call using the card (whichever comes
first).
Wireless Web Services

Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be
obtained through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web Services may
not be immediately available in some Sprint PCS affiliate
markets. Use of Wireless Web Services requires a wireless
data compatible phone or certain other equipment (or
both) and is subject to any memory, storage or other
limitation in the phone or other equipment. The Caller ID
blocking feature is not available when using Wireless Web
Services. Your Number is transmitted to any site you visit on
the Internet. You are charged for time spent connected to
the Wireless Web, including time spent browsing on the
Internet and reviewing or scrolling through Internet
information on-line while still connected to the Sprint 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
Sprint PCS account information. Wireless Web Services
currently are not available when you are roaming off the
Sprint PCS Network. Wireless Web Services are not available
to you if you are on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan. If
you receive Services on an Account Spending Limit basis,
you may be limited in the Wireless Web Services available to
you. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our website at
www.sprintpcs.com for availability and equipment

compatibility information. Specific additional information
about Wireless Web Services, including pricing, included
minutes and combining with other Service Plans, is
available in Sprint PCS’ standard sales collateral for Sprint
PCS Wireless Web Services or at www.sprintpcs.com. Sprint
PCS is not a publisher of third party content that can be
accessed through Wireless Web Services. Sprint PCS is not
responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services or
other information that is provided by third parties and
accessible through Wireless Web Services. Sprint PCS does
not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of
information that is obtained through the Wireless Web
Services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.
Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges

Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside
of the Sprint PCS Network are "roaming" calls. Your
Sprint PCS phone is specifically designed and engineered to
work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It works on other
CDMA PCS providers’ systems only when a roaming
agreement is in place between Sprint PCS and the other
providers. If your Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone,

Roaming

Warranty/Terms
and Conditions

We invoice you for taxes, regulatory related obligations and
other charges levied by federal, state or local authorities, or
foreign government on Services, or mandated to be paid in
proportion to receipts from telecommunications services
provided, or on sales of equipment (except for taxes based
on our net income), if we pay these taxes or other
regulatory related charges. Taxes, regulatory related
charges and charges not directly paid by us are not invoiced
to you, but payment to the taxing or levying authority of
any applicable taxes, regulatory related charges and
charges due from you are your responsibility. If you claim
any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid taxexempt document. Any tax exemption applies only from the
date we receive a valid tax-exempt document.

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 183

it works on both a CDMA PCS provider’s system (in addition
to the Sprint PCS Network) and a wireless analog
telecommunications provider’s system only when roaming
agreements are in place between Sprint PCS 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. Certain features are not available
when roaming. Roaming rates may be different from and
higher than the rates you pay for calls within your
Sprint PCS Home Service Area and on the Sprint PCS
Network. Roaming charges are invoiced according to the
practices of the roaming service provider. When roaming,
you are subject to the limitation of liability provisions and
other applicable rules imposed by the roaming service
provider on its own subscribers or on roamers.
Interruption of Service

We may give credit for a continuous interruption of Services
for more than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis.
Interruptions caused by your negligent or willful actions, or
by failure of equipment or service not provided by us, or by
causes beyond our reasonable control, do not qualify for
credit. We may provide you with an airtime credit of one
minute for a call that is disconnected because of
transmission limitations caused by atmospheric,
geographic or topographic conditions and that you redial
within one minute of disconnection. You must notify us
within 24 hours of the disconnection to request credit.
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
and 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, or both.

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information

Lost or Stolen Equipment

If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must
notify us by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. 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 (e.g.,
a police report or affidavit). 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 reasonably
cooperate with us in investigating suspected unlawful or
fraudulent use.

If you do not want people you call to get the Number
assigned to your phone, you must call Sprint PCS Customer
Care 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. Caller ID delivery resumes on the next call you make.
Caller ID display on incoming calls to your Number is
dependent on receiving the information from the calling
party.

Limitation of Liability

Except as otherwise provided in this section, our sole
liability to you for any loss or damage arising out of
providing or failing to provide Services (including mistakes,
omissions, interruptions, delays, errors, or defects) does not
exceed (1) in cases related to a specific piece of equipment,
