Are there strings attached? 
Changes to your Wireless Calling Plan generally will be effective only after we have provided notice to you on a bill, by separate mailing, by text message or otherwise.  However, if (a) your Wireless Calling Plan is part of a package with landline voice, video and/or data services provided by Long Lines Wireless' affiliates and you change one of the other services in the package, your rates may be immediately adjusted without prior notice to a Wireless Calling Plan for which you qualify, or (b) you receive our Wireless cell phone service via an affiliation with a business or other organization that has an agreement with us to make our wireless cell phone service available, such an arrangement may be modified or terminated without notice to you.

Your Wireless Calling Plan will include sales, excise and other taxes and surcharges that we are required by law to bill to customers.  They will be based on the taxes and surcharges applicable to the street address you provided to us.  If you are tax-exempt, you must provide us with copies of your exemption certificates and pay for any filings we are required to make.  Your bill will also include a Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee of $1.25 per month to recover or help offset the costs of government surcharges and fees imposed on Long Lines Wireless and costs associated with government regulations and mandates on our business including, for example, number pooling, number portability, E-911 service and federal and state Universal Service Fund charges.
