Fee, etc.) still apply. If a transfer to Sprint is not successful, you will be 
responsible for any discounts provided to you with the purchase of your

Coverage. Available coverage areas for Services are generally identified in 
our mapping brochures and at www.sprintpcs.com. This may include coverage 
on our digital network (the “Sprint Nationwide PCS Network”) as well as 
coverage we make available to you through agreements with other carriers 
(“off network” or “roaming” coverage). All coverage maps are high level 
representations of outdoor coverage and there are gaps in coverage within areas 
shown as covered on the maps. Coverage is not available everywhere, nor can we 
guarantee you will receive coverage at all times, or without interruptions or delays 
(e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.) in the coverage areas we identify. Actual 
coverage and quality of Services may be affected by conditions within or beyond 
our control, including network problems, software, signal strength, your equipment, 
structures (including buildings in which you may be located), atmospheric, 
geographic, or topographic conditions. 
Roaming Coverage. You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that you 
are roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices and, 
unless included as part of your Services, will result in additional charges. 
Roaming calls placed “manually” (through an operator or with a credit card) 
will always incur separate and additional charges. Depending on your phone 
settings, you may automatically roam if there is a gap or interruption in 
coverage within the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network coverage area and 
roaming coverage areas. See your phone guide for how to adjust phone 
settings. Certain features and services may not be available in roaming 
coverage areas (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call waiting, call 
forwarding, etc.).
Charges. Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed 
charges based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation, 
monthly recurring charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g., charges 
for long distance, roaming, call forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). 
Airtime and other time based usage charges are calculated from when your 
device first initiates contact with a network until the network connection is 
broken, whether or not you were actually successful in connecting to the 
intended destination. However, you will not be charged for voice calls that 
ring and do not pick up, or if you get a busy signal. For voice calls received 
by your device, you are charged from the time shortly before the phone 
starts ringing until the call is terminated. You are charged for an entire voice 
call based on the time period in which the call is initiated. Partial minutes of 
use are rounded up to the next minute.
