4.1 Wireless systems use radio channels to transmit voice and data communications over a complex radio network. Your mobile phone may contain sensitive or personal information. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure privacy while using a mobile phone, however mobile telephone calls may be intercepted and so, while complete privacy is likely, it cannot be guaranteed; and We will not be liable to You for any lack of privacy which You may experience while using the Service.
4.2 We are not responsible for any information on Your phone, including sensitive or personal information. If possible, You should remove or otherwise safeguard any sensitive or personal information when Your phone is out of Your possession or control, including, but not limited to, relinquishing, exchanging, returning or recycling Your phone.

We make no guarantee that roaming coverage will be available. Roaming coverage may exist both within and outside Our network coverage areas. Your phone will generally indicate when You are roaming. Depending on Your Services, separate charges or limits on the amount of minutes used while roaming may apply. Certain Services may not be available or work the same when roaming (including data services, voicemail, call waiting, etc.).
4.5 You must only use mobile phones, SIM Cards and accessories that have been approved by Us for use with the network, and must follow relevant laws, regulations and rules that apply to use of the Service and the network.
5. SIM CARDS
5.1 GSM compatible mobile phones only work with a SIM Card. This card contains a microchip that identifies You to Our network. It stores information about Your phone number, service and registration and provides the memory for Your phone book and stored messages. For Your security, You should add a personal security code to Your SIM Card to prevent unauthorised use of Your phone. The Service will not work without the SIM Card so You must keep it with You at all times.
5.2 You shall use the SIM Card provided to You only to access Our network and Our services. You acknowledge that we have configured the SIM Card such that it is barred from use with any other provider’s network or service. The SIM Card is locked to Our network. You shall not unlock the SIM Card or allow any third party to unlock the SIM Card without Our prior written consent. If You attempt to use Your SIM Card with any third party network or services, or in any way not expressly authorised by Us, this may result in Your service being permanently blocked; in which case the SIM Card must immediately be returned to Us. We accept no responsibility for Your service being blocked in this way.
5.3 You acknowledge and agree that the SIM Card remains Our property and You must keep the SIM Card safe and in good condition while it is in Your possession. Any loss of or damage to the SIM Card, other than through fair wear and tear, is Your responsibility and, in the event of loss or damage, You will be required to pay for a replacement SIM Card. A replacement fee will not be charged in the event that a SIM Card is faulty or defective and returned to Us within the applicable warranty period. Any replacement SIM Card will also remain Our property.

5.5 At Our request, and/or on termination of Your agreement with Us, You shall return the SIM Card to Us or anyone acting on Our behalf, as per our instructions.

We charge in increments of one hundredth of a Megabyte at the end of each month. If You are on an inclusive data plan You will be charged a monthly fee for the specified monthly data increment plus a specified Megabyte rate for data used over the plan limit. Your invoice will not separately identify the number of kilobytes attributable to Your use of specific services. Premium content (games, ringers, songs, etc.) are priced separately. Data sent and received includes, but is not limited to, downloads, uploads, email, overhead and software update checks. Reported data may be higher than expected due to network overhead, software update requests, and resend requests that may be caused by network errors.

4. ROAMING
4.1 Roaming charges for the Service may be charged when outside Our wireless network. Display on Your Device will not indicate whether You will incur roaming charges. Use of the Service when roaming is dependent upon the roaming carrier’s support of applicable network technology and functionality. Certain capabilities of the Service may vary or be unavailable in certain countries and with particular carriers while roaming. Availability, quality of coverage and Services while roaming are not guaranteed. Check with roaming carriers individually for support and coverage details. Billing for domestic and international roaming usage may be delayed up to three billing cycles due to reporting between carriers. You are responsible for paying Your roaming charges whenever the bill is rendered.

For example, if Your mobile data plan includes 1 Gigabyte, or 1024 Megabytes of data, Your offnet usage allowance is restricted to a cumulative maximum of 205 Megabytes of data over two (2) consecutive months. Case-bycase exceptions may be considered if pre-approved by Our customer service department.

When outside coverage area, access will be limited to information and applications previously downloaded to, or resident on, Your Device. Coverage areas vary between Our Mobile Broadband and GPRS/EDGE/LTE network technology. Actual download speeds depend upon Device characteristics, network, network availability and coverage levels, tasks, file characteristics, applications and other factors. Performance may be impacted by transmission limitations, terrain, in-building/in-vehicle use, capacity constraints, and the type of network technology used in specific locations to provide service (including Mobile Broadband or GPRS/EDGE technology). Availability of downloadable or streaming content is subject to change, including but not limited to television channels and radio stations.

Some Data Content is available from Us or Our vendors, while other Data Content can be accessed from others (third party websites, games, ringers, etc.). We make absolutely no guarantees about the Data Content You access on Your phone. Data Content may be: (1) unsuitable for children/minors; (2) unreliable or inaccurate; or (3) offensive, indecent or objectionable.

It is Your responsibility to read the rules or service agreements of each content provider or service provider. Any information You involuntarily or voluntarily provide to third parties is governed by their policies or terms. The accuracy, appropriateness, content, completeness, timeliness, usefulness, security, safety, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, transmission or correct sequencing of any application, information or downloaded data is not guaranteed or warranted by Us or any content provider or other third party.

While these are recognized as the more common uses permitted by Your data plan, there are certain uses or applications that cause extreme network capacity issues – they severely interfere with Our network – and are therefore prohibited.
8.2 Examples of prohibited uses include, without limitation, the following: (i) server devices or host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications; (ii) VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) applications; (iii) “auto-responders,” “cancelbots,” or similar automated or manual routines which generate excessive amounts of net traffic, or which disrupt net user groups or email use by others; (iv) “spam” or unsolicited commercial or bulk email (or activities that have the effect of facilitating unsolicited commercial email or unsolicited bulk email); (v) any activity that adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to use either Our wireless services or other parties’ Internet-based resources, including “denial of service” (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user; (vi) accessing, or attempting to access, without authority, the accounts of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to penetrate, security measures of Our wireless network or another entity’s network or systems; (vii) software or other devices that maintain continuous active Internet connections when a computer’s connection would otherwise be idle, or any “keep alive” functions, unless they adhere to Our data retry requirements, which may be changed from time to time. This means, by way of example only, that checking email, surfing the Internet, downloading legally acquired songs, and/or visiting corporate intranets is permitted, but downloading movies using P2P file sharing services, redirecting television signals for viewing on personal computers, web broadcasting, and/or the operation of servers, telemetry devices and/or supervisory control and data acquisition devices are prohibited. We reserve the right, without notice to anyone, to (i) deny, disconnect, modify and/or terminate the Service of anyone We believe is using the Service in any manner prohibited or whose usage hinders access to Our wireless network, adversely impacts Our wireless network or service levels, including without limitation, after a significant period of inactivity or after sessions of excessive usage and (ii) otherwise protect Our wireless network from harm, compromised capacity or degradation in performance, which may impact legitimate data flows.
