The terms set forth in this Section 3 explain how to apply the rate tables associated with the
service offerings described in Section 4, following.
3.1. Timing of Calls and Calculation of Billable Usage
| |
3.1.1. Billing for Calls placed over the Company's network is based in part on the
duration of the Call. Timing of each Call begins when the Called Station is
answered, as determined by standard industry methods generally in use for
ascertaining answer, including hardware answer supervision in which the local
telephone company sends a signal to the switch or the software utilizing audio
tone detection. Timing ends when the Called Party hangs up.
3.1.2. Operator handled calls, including but not limited to Person-to-Person and
Collect Calls, are not offered by the Company under this Schedule.

minimum per call of sixty (60) seconds. The Customer’s monthly usage
charges for the Company service are based upon the total number of minutes the
Customer uses and the service options to which the Customer subscribes.
3.1.4. Where applicable, charges will be rounded up to the nearest penny. |
3.2. Calculation of Distance
| |
3.2.1. Where mileage bands appear in a rate table, rates for all calls are based upon the
airline distance between the originating and terminating points of the call, as
determined by the vertical and horizontal coordinates associated with the
exchange (the area code and three digit central office code) associated with the
originating and terminating telephone numbers. The vertical and horizontal
coordinates (“V&H Coordinate”) for each exchange and the airline distance
between them will be determined according to the V&H Coordinate table as
used on an industry wide basis and incorporated herein by reference. |
3.3. Start of Billing
| |
3.3.1. For billing purposes, the start of service is the day the Customer’s service is
prescribed to the Company or the Customer otherwise initiates use of the
Company’s services. The end of service date is the last day the Customer
utilizes the Company’s services following notice of cancellation to the
Company, as allowed in Section 2.9. |

| |
3.4.1. The Company’s rates are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without time
of day restrictions unless otherwise stated. |
3.5. Primary Interexchange Carrier Change Charges
| |
3.5.1. When a Customer switches long distance service to the Company, the
Customer’s local exchange carrier may charge a primary Interexchange Carrier
Change Charge (“PICC”) for initiating the switch. At the Company’s sole
discretion, the Company may provide a credit to the Customer’s in an amount
equal to or less than the amount charged by the local exchange carrier. The
Company may request proof of the charge prior to deciding whether or not to
provide a Customer credit. If the Company agrees to provide a credit, it will be
applied to the Customer’s account within a commercially reasonable time
period. |
