oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new Sprint PCS Phone™

Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access
certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless
Web, however, all of your calls are still private and
secure.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

area where you
think Sprint PCS
Service is
available, turn
your phone off
and on again to
reconnect to the
Sprint PCS
Nationwide
Network.
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your

Using Sprint PCS Voice CommandSM
With Sprint PCS, the first wireless provider to offer
innovative Voice Command technology, reaching
your friends, family, co-workers and teammates has
never been easier – especially when you’re on the
go.
With Sprint PCS Voice Command:
䊳
You can store all your contact’s phone numbers,
so you can simply say the name of the person you
want to call.
䊳
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers,
memorize voicemail passwords or try to dial
while you’re driving.
䊳
You can call anyone in your address book – even
if you don’t remember their phone number.
It’s Easy To Start
Making and
Answering Calls
Just dial
from your Sprint PCS
Phone™ to activate the service. You can also dial
to go through a Sprint PCS Voice
Command tutorial directly from your phone.
Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 500 names into your
address book, with each name having up to five
phone numbers. That’s 2,500 phone numbers –
and with the advanced technology of Sprint PCS
Voice Command – you can have instant access to
all of them.
There are four ways to update your address book:
Section 4
Making and Answering Calls
45
䊳
On the Web: Go to www.talk.sprintpcs.com and
receive a fully functional Web-based address book
to create and update your contacts.
䊳
Use an Existing Address Book: Upload your
contacts from Microsoft® Outlook,® Microsoft
Excel® and other personal information software
into your address book for no additional charge.
䊳
Call Directory Assistance: If you don’t have a
computer or Internet access handy, you can have
Sprint PCS Directory Assistance look up phone
numbers for you and automatically add them to
your address book. Just say, “Call operator,” and
we’ll add two names and numbers to your
address book for our standard directory assistance
charge.
䊳
Use Voice Recordings: Simply dial
and say, “Add name.” You will then be asked to
say the name and number you want to add to
your personal address book. Your address book
can store up to 20 Voice Recordings at once.
How It Works
1. Once you’ve signed up for Sprint PCS Voice
Command and created your address book, all you
do is press
. You’ll hear a tone
followed by the prompt “Ready.”
2. After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a
natural voice, the name of the person or the
number you’d like to call. For example, you can
say, “Call Jane at work,” “Call John on his
wireless phone,” “Call 555-1234” or “Look up
Bob.”
Section 4
46

3. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in
mind that Sprint PCS Voice Command recognizes
not only your voice, but any voice, so others can
experience the same convenience if they use your
phone.

through the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed versions of popular
Internet sites, including Yahoo!® Amazon.com®,

The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page

quality your Sprint PCS Phone was designed to give you.
Section 16
Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
167
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
0.1 2W to 0.2 W in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
Section 16
168
Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Performance and
Safety
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).

Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not
expressly approved in this document could void
your warranty for this equipment and void your
authority to operate this equipment. Only use
approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use
of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous
and voids the phone warranty if said accessories
cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex
piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
the Sprint PCS supplied or approved carrying case,
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not
use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at
least 0.394 inch (1 centimeter) from your body
when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint PCS approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please
visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorted in the head of a user
of a wireless handset.
Section 16
176
Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Performance and
Safety
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 than 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.
16
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 SH-P300 are:
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.41 W/kg; Body-worn:
0.093 W/kg

Thanks for choosing to connect with Sprint PCS. These terms and

personal communication services.
For the most current version of the terms and conditions, please visit
our website at www.sprintpcs.com or call Sprint PCS Customer Care at
1-888-211-4PCS, because the terms of conditions included with your
Sprint PCS may not be the most current version. If you activated Sprint
PCS Services before the effective date of these terms of conditions, these
terms and conditions replaces and supersede any previous terms and
conditions.
If you have questions about your Sprint PCS Services, call Sprint PCS
Customer Care at 1-888-211-4PCS(4727) visit our Web site at
www.sprintpcs.com.
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 Services (“Terms”) and the Service Plan that
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 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.
Section 17
180
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Provision of Service
Your purchase of Sprint PCS phones or other equipment dose 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 contact 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
17
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 Plan). Any
changes to the Terms are effective when we publish the revised terms. 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 Terminations and
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 the Agreement except for
your Service Plan (see Termination and Changing Service Plans).
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
181
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
than available under other Service Plans. Your Service Plan sets out the
charges for the 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. 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 a implementing any
change directed by you as well as the Service Plan or optional service
features you select. 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.
Section 17
182
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
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. 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.
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
Services are available within the operating range of the Sprint PCS
Network. Coverage and quality of Services may be affected by conditions
within or 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).
17
Number
We assign a phone number (“Number”) to the phone or other
equipment used by you on the Sprint 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.
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, we activate a different phone on your existing account
or your Service Plan says so. Details on any applicable phone activation
fee are set out in your Service Plan or can be obtained by calling Sprint
PCS Customer Care.
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
183
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 by either party. 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, connection fees, roaming chages,
directory assistance, call completion charges, optional features you
select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory related charges.
Charges for most Services are incurred in one -minute increments, with
partial minutes of 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.
Voice Command
Sprint PCS Voice CommandSM is an optional service that allows you to
place calls by using speech recognition technology. Call 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 keys and end when
Section 17
184
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
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. Details on charges for the Voice
Command feature can be found in the marketing materials for this
feature, by visiting www.sprintpcs.com or by calling Sprint PCS
Customer Care.
Invoicing
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
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 changes accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and
changes 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 rate per minutes for
usage over included minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the
time the usage was incurred.
17
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
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
185
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. 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 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 may 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 Sprint PCS
Customer Care. 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.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate Service at
any time by giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we
Section 17
186
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
may terminate Services at any time, with or without notice. 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.
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
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 or activation fee, (3) you may be required
to pay a termination fee, (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. 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.
17
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 (a) Services provided before termination of a Number and (b)
equipment, regardless of who terminates Service. If Services are
terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, (i) the
monthly recurring charge is not prorated to the date of termination,
and (ii) you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes
in your Service Plan.
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
187
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 PCS. Call
Sprint PCS Customer Care 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, Service 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
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 charges 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
Section 17
188
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
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 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 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.
Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be obtained
through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web service 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.
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 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 and Voice Portal data calls
may not be 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 and Voice Portal
Services available to you. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our
17
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
189
website at www.sprintpcs.com for availability and equipment
compatibility information. Specific additional information about
Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal Services, including pricing,
included minutes and combining with other Service Plans, is available
in our standard sales collateral for Sprint PCS Wireless Web Services and
Voice Portal Services at www.sprintpcs.com. Sprint PCS is not a
publisher of third party content that can be accessed through Wireless
Web Services or Voice Portal Services. Sprint PCS is not responsible for
any opinions, advice, statements, services or other information is
provided by third parties and accessible through Wireless Web Services
or Voice Portal Services. Neither Sprint PCS 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 Other Regulatory Related Charges
We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by federal, state
or local authorities, or foreign government on Services. We also assess
charges associated with regulatory mandates and obligations, such as
Universal Service and Enhanced 911 service. 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.
Roaming
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 another CDMA PCS provider’s system only when a roaming
agreement is in place between Sprint PCS and the other provider. If your
Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, 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
Section 17
190
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
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 Sprint PCS coverage area that
prevents connection with the Sprint PCS network and your dual-mode
phone is set to roam automatically when outside Sprint PCS coverage,
you may incur roaming fees within a Sprint PCS coverage area. 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.
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
Interruption of Service
17
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.
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.
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
191
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 (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.
Caller ID
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 +
OK, 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. It is not
possible to use your phone with a TTY.
Section 17
192
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Pay-Per-Call Service
We will not complete calls from your Number to 900,976 and similar
numbers for pay-per-call services.
International Calling
You may be limited in the international destinations that you can call
with Services. You should contact Sprint PCS Customer Care for
information about international destinations that you cannot call.
Limitation of Liability
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
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, the prorated MRC for Services to the piece of
equipment during the affected period, or (2) in cases not related to
a specific piece of equipment, the prorated MRCs for the Services to
you during the affected period. Neither we nor our vendors,
suppliers or licensors are liable for any damage arising out of or in
connection with:
17
a) any act or omission of any telecommunications service or other
service provider other than us;
b) any directory listing;
c) any dropped calls or inability to place or receive calls;
d) any interruption of Services, including interruptions caused by
equipment or facilities failure or shortages, transmission limitations or
system capacity limitations;
e) traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims allegedly
arising from the use of Services, phones, equipment or accessories used
in connection with the Services;
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
193
f) the use of Sprint PCS Wireless Services, including the accuracy or
reliability of any information obtained from the Internet using Sprint
PCS Wireless Web Services or from Voice Portal Services, or Internet
services, content or applications not supported by Sprint PCS;
g) any late or failed message delivery;
h) any interruption or failure of 911 or E911 emergency services or
identification of the Number, address or name associated with any
person accessing or attempting to access emergency services from your
phone;
i) the installation or repair of any products or equipment by parties who
are not our authorized employees or agents;
j) events due to factors beyond our control, including acts of God
(including, without limitation, weather-related phenomena, fire or
earthquake), war, riot, strike, or orders of governmental authority;
k) any act or omission of any third party or independent contractor that
offers products or services in conjunction with or through the Services,
or
l) your negligent or intentional act or omission.
NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PHONES OR OTHER
EQUIPMENT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF
BUSINESS, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Indemnification
You indemnify and defend us, our partners, directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against any claim, action, damage,
liability and expense arising out of or in connection with: (1) your acts
or omissions that occur in connection with your use of the Services or
equipment used in connection with the Services, and (2) any
communications you make or receive using the Services. This
indemnification extends to and includes any attorney’s fees and costs
incurred by us arising from any actions or claims to which this
indemnification applies, or from the contesting of the applicability of

ARBITATION OF DISPUTES
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
17
ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING
IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING FRAUD,
MISPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, RELATED
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER
BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE CUSTOMER OR BETWEEN
THE COMPANY AND THE COSTOMER, ON THE ONE HAND, AND
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATED BUSINESSES OF THE
OTHER PARTY, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY
ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF
WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator will be selected in accordance with AAA procedures from a list
of qualified people maintained by the AAA. All expedited procedures
prescribed by the AAA rules will apply, and each party will bear their own
costs and attorney’s fees.
No discovery will be permitted, excepts that the parties will exchange,
thirty days prior to the hearing on their dispute, all documents to be
submitted to the arbitrator, including any reports or summaries, and a
Section 17
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
195
list of the names and addresses of those persons to be called to testify.
Following exchange of this information, the parties may agree to waive
a hearing.
The arbitrator will have authority only to award compensatory damages
and will not have authority to award punitive damages, lost profits, or
other non-compensatory damages. The arbitrator’s decision and award
will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s
decision must not contain findings of fact or conclusions of law.
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 Sprint PCS
Customer Care. Written notice to you is sent to your last known address
in our invoicing records. Written notice is deemed delivered 3 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 Sprint PCS Customer Care, and (2) we may notify you by
leaving a message for you on your Sprint 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. You agree to submit yourself to the personal jurisdiction of
the courts in the State of Kansas.
Section 17
196
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
General
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
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
