WHAT IS THE TERM OF THESE T&Cs?
As the Un-Carrier, we did away with annual service contracts. You are free to go, although we’d be sad to see you leave. You are responsible for all Charges incurred through the end of, or resulting from, your Service term, including Charges covering periods where your Service is suspended for non-payment. In most instances, this will be the close of your then-current billing cycle. If you port your number to another carrier, your Service will be deactivated immediately once the number is ported, though you will still be charged for a full billing cycle. In addition, cancellation of Service may affect other agreements that you have with us, including equipment installment plans or lease agreements where your payments may be accelerated upon cancellation. Cancellation may also impact other services that are billed through the TMO biller as well as any subscriptions you may have through us.
CAN WVT NETWORKS CHANGE, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE MY SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT?
Yes. Except as described below for Rate Plans with the price-lock guarantee (including the “Un-Contract Promise”), we may change, limit, suspend or terminate your Service or this Agreement at any time, including if you engage in any of the prohibited uses described in these T&Cs, no longer reside in a WVT NETWORKS-owned network coverage area, or engage in harassing, threatening, abusive or offensive behavior. If your Service, Product, or account is limited, suspended, or terminated and then reinstated, you may be charged a reconnection fee. Your account may still accrue charges even if the Service is suspended. You are responsible for any charges that are incurred while your Service or account is suspended.
Under certain limited circumstances, we may also block your Device from working on our network. If the change to your Service, Product, or Rate Plan will have a material adverse effect on you, we will provide 14 days’ notice of the change. You’ll agree to any change by using your Service or Product after the effective date of the change. We may exclude certain types of calls, messages or sessions (e.g. conference and chat lines, broadcast, international, 900 or 976 calls, etc.), in our sole discretion, without further notice. For information about our unlocking policy, visit https://wvtnetworks.com/privacy-policy.
If you are on a price-lock guaranteed Rate Plan, we will not increase your monthly recurring Service charge (“Recurring Charge”) for the period that applies to your Rate Plan, or if no specific period applies, for as long as you continuously remain a customer in good standing on a qualifying Rate Plan. If you switch plans, the price-lock guarantee for your new Rate Plan will apply (if there is one). The price-lock guarantee is limited to your Recurring Charge and does not include, for example, add-on features, taxes, surcharges, fees, or charges for extra Features or Devices.
AM I CONSENTING TO BE CONTACTED?
Yes. We may contact you without charge, on any wireless telephone number assigned to your account for any purpose, including marketing, and in any manner permitted by law.

ACCOUNT AND PAYMENT INFORMATION
WHAT IS A RATE PLAN?
Your “Rate Plan” includes your Service allotments, for example, for minutes, messages or data, rates, and other terms. We may introduce access to new technologies, features, or services that you can add for an additional charge. If any term in your Rate Plan conflicts with these T&Cs, the term in your Rate Plan governs.
HOW WILL I BE CHARGED FOR DATA USAGE?
Data service may be included in your Rate Plan or International Pass or you may be charged for data usage on a pay-per-use basis (“Data Plan”). Your Rate Plan and/or Data Plan will contain more information about how we calculate data usage. You can check your current usage by visiting my.WVT NETWORKS.com or by using a short code from your device (you can find more information about the short code at www.WVT NETWORKS.com). Legacy Sprint customers can check their current usage by logging into their account at Sprint.com, or by using the My Sprint app. If you do not have a Data Plan, your Device may not be able to access data services.
HOW DO I GIVE OTHER PEOPLE ACCESS TO MY ACCOUNT?
An Authorized User is someone you establish as someone that can access and manage your Account. An Authorized User can:
- Make changes to your account;
- Add or remove services or features to your account;
- Receive notices and disclosures on your behalf;
- Purchase Devices for use with our Service, including under an installment plan; and
- Incur Charges on your account.
The easiest way to designate an Authorized User is online through your account.WVT NETWORKS.com account. Keep in mind that you should not share your account validation information, which includes the last four digits of your social security number or your PIN/passcode. An Authorized User will need to verify identity before we provide access to account information. When calling us, this requires presentation of the last four digits of the primary account holder’s social security number or the account PIN/passcode. This information is sensitive so take steps to protect it. We will treat presentation of the proper account validation information as authorized access to an account.
CAN WVT NETWORKS ACCESS MY DEVICE?
Yes. We may remotely change software, systems, applications, features, or programming on your Device without notice. These changes will modify your Device and may affect or erase data you have stored on your Device, the way you have programmed your Device, or the way you use your Device. You will not be able to use your Device during the installation of the changes, even for emergencies. We may also remotely program or reconfigure your Device upon activation on our network or at other times and install additional software and apps.
Your Device may contain sensitive or personal information. We are not responsible for any information on your Device, including sensitive or personal information. At all times, you should remove or otherwise safeguard any sensitive or personal information when your Device is out of your possession or control including, but not limited to, relinquishing, exchanging, returning, or recycling your Device. By providing your Device to us, you agree that our employees, contractors, or vendors may access all information on your Device.
HOW WILL I BE BILLED FOR USE OF THE SERVICES?
You agree to pay all Charges we assess and bill you, including charges covering periods where your Service is suspended for non-payment, or Charges that were accepted or processed through all Devices and/or Products on your account, including while your service is suspended. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete billing and tax related information and to report all changes within 30 days of the change. You will receive an electronic (paperless) bill unless you tell us you want a paper bill. You have the option of switching to a paper bill at no cost to you by changing your billing preferences or by contacting Customer Care. For more information about paperless billing,
AutoPay: Autopay is a free service that automatically makes payments from your designated payment account to pay your bill. For more information on AutoPay,.
Unless required by law, we will not give you additional notice or obtain additional consent from you before charging Charges to that credit or debit card. You must promptly notify us of any change in the credit or debit card or bank transfer authorization you want to use for payment. You may also make a payment by credit or debit card only at https://wvtnetworks.com. In addition, you may pay your Charges by making a cash payment in person at any WVT NETWORKS store. You may be required to pay an additional service charge or fee, depending on the channel and/or payment method you choose. This information is available at https://wvtnetworks.com. We may charge a return payment fee at the highest amount permissible by law. We may restrict your payment methods to cashier’s check, money order, or other similar secure forms of payment at any time for good reason.
Your Device can be used to purchase services and products from third parties, and Charges for these purchases may be included on your WVT NETWORKS bill. Charges may be one-time or recurring. The amount and frequency of the charges will be disclosed at the time a purchase is made. If selected, the charges will become part of the amount due for that billing cycle. For no additional cost you can block third party charges from being included on your WVT NETWORKS bill by logging into your account at https://wvtnetworks.com or calling Customer Care.
Off-Rate Plan Charges. You may have to pay extra for calls to some numbers (e.g. conference & chat lines, broadcast, calling card, international, 900 or 976 calls, etc.).
Usage. Airtime usage is measured from the time the network begins to process a call (before the phone rings or the call is answered) through its termination of the call (after you hang up). For voice calls, we round up any fraction of a minute to the next full minute. Depending upon your Rate Plan, data usage may be rounded at the end of each data session, at the end of your billing cycle, and/or at the time you switch data plans. You may be charged for more than one call/message when you use certain features resulting in multiple inbound or outbound calls/messages (such as call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, conference calling, and multi-party messaging). You will be charged for text, instant or picture messages, and email whether read or unread, sent or received, solicited or unsolicited. We use filters to block spam messages, but we do not guarantee that you will not receive spam or other unsolicited messages. Additional blocking options are available at https://wvtnetworks.com. Most usage and Charges incurred during a billing cycle will be included in your bill for that cycle. Some usage and Charges may be delayed to a later billing cycle, which may cause you to exceed Rate Plan allotments in a later billing cycle. Unused Rate Plan allotments expire at the end of your billing cycle. You may be billed additional Charges for certain features and services. Charges for Wi-Fi usage may vary; see your Rate Plan for more details.
Taxes. You agree to pay all taxes and fees imposed by governments or governmental entities. We may not give advance notice of changes to these charges. To determine taxes & fees, we use the street address you identified as your Place of Primary Use (“PPU”). If the tax laws require use of a different address, then we utilize the best information available to us to determine the correct address. The PPU for USA must be in USA. If you did not identify the correct PPU, or if you provided an address, such as a PO Box, that is not a recognized street address, does not allow us to identify the applicable taxing jurisdiction(s), or does not reflect the Service area associated with your telephone number, you may be assigned a default location for tax purposes. Except as may be otherwise required by law, in the event you dispute your PPU or the location we assigned you and the resulting taxes or fees applied on your bill, you must request a refund of the disputed tax or fee within 60 days of the date of our bill containing such tax or fee. Regardless of any Rate Plan guarantee, taxes and fees may change from time to time without notice.
Surcharges. You agree to pay all surcharges applicable to your Rate Plan. Surcharges are not mandated or imposed on you by law, they are WVT NETWORKS Charges that are determined, collected, and retained by us. The components and component amounts of the Surcharges are subject to change without notice. Surcharges include charges, costs, fees, and certain taxes that we incur to provide Services (and are not government taxes or fees imposed directly on our customers). Examples include general and administrative fees (such as certain costs we have already incurred or will incur to provide Service), as well as governmental-related assessments (such as Federal or State Universal Service fees, regulatory or public safety charges, environmental fees, and gross receipts taxes). Surcharges assessed to you will vary depending on the type of Service and the Rate Plan you have. Surcharges may change from time to time without notice regardless of any Rate Plan guarantee (and subject to our 14-day notice policy if changes to your Service or Rate Plan will have a material adverse effect on you). Surcharges will apply whether or not you benefit from the programs, activities, or services included in the Surcharge. When Surcharges are assessed in connection with your Service, you can find the Surcharges detailed in either the “Taxes, Fees & Surcharges”, “WVT NETWORKS Fees and Charges” or the “Other Charges” sections of your bill or at www.myWVT NETWORKS.com.
Other Fees. We may charge activation, prepayment, reactivation, program, or other fees to establish, change, or maintain Services, Certain transactions may also be subject to a charge (for example, convenience payment, changing phone numbers, handset upgrades, etc.). We will tell you if any of these fees apply to your requested transaction.
WHAT IF I DON’T PAY ON TIME?
You are responsible for all Charges incurred through the end of, or resulting from, your Service term, including Charges covering periods where your Service is suspended for non-payment. If you do not pay on time, we may charge a late fee of up to the highest amount allowed by law. We may also charge a returned payment fee at the highest amount permissible by law. We may restrict your payment methods to cashier’s check, money order, or other similar secure forms of payment at any time for good reason. If you fail to pay on time and we refer your account to a third party for collection, a collection fee will be assessed by WVT NETWORKS and will be due at the time of the referral to the third party. The fee will be calculated as a percentage of the amount due to the extent permitted, or not otherwise prohibited, by applicable law. If we accept late or partial payments, you still must pay us the full amount you owe, including late fees. We will not honor limiting notations you make on or with your checks. Late payment, non-payment and/or collection fees are intended to be a reasonable advance estimate of our actual costs resulting from late payments and non-payments by our customers; these costs are not readily ascertainable and are difficult to predict or calculate at the time that these fees are set. You and we each agree that if you fail to timely pay amounts due, we may assign your account for collection, and the collection agency may pursue, in small claims court, claims limited strictly to the collection of the past due amounts and any interest or costs of collection permitted by law or this Agreement. If your account is unpaid or otherwise not in good standing, your service may be reduced, suspended, or terminated. Charges may not be prorated while your Service is suspended.
DOES WVT NETWORKS CHECK MY CREDIT?
Yes, for many of our products and services. We may get information about your credit history from credit-reporting agencies, which may affect your credit rating. We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. We may place a temporary or permanent account spending limit (ASL) on your account to limit the amount you can charge, regardless of when payment on those charges is due, and we may suspend your Services without prior notice if your account balance reached the ASL, even if your account is not past due.
AM I REQUIRED TO MAKE A DEPOSIT?
We may require you to make a deposit or prepayment for Services. We can apply deposits, payments, or prepayments in any order to any amounts you owe us on any account. This deposit is refundable and will be applied as a credit to your account along with interest as may be required by law.
USING OUR NETWORK
WHERE, HOW, AND WHEN DOES MY SERVICE WORK?
These T&Cs describe the experience you can expect on our networks, including information about our reasonable network management practices, and the experience on our roaming partners’ networks. Please check our coverage maps, which approximate our anticipated coverage area outdoors. Your experience on our networks may vary and change without notice depending on a variety of factors. You agree that we are not liable for problems relating to Service availability or quality. To provide the best possible experience for the most possible customers on WVT NETWORKS or Sprint branded rate plans, for many Rate Plans, we prioritize the data usage of a small percentage of our heavy data users, below that of other customers. This threshold number is specified in your Rate Plan and is also periodically evaluated and may change over time. We also prioritize the data of customers who choose certain Rate Plans after the data for other WVT NETWORKS or Sprint branded rate plans, but before customers who are prioritized as heavy data users. Customers whose data is prioritized lower may notice speeds lower than customers with higher priority in times and locations where there are competing customer demands for network resources. See your selected service or visit our Open Internet page at the link below for details. We prioritize smartphone and mobile internet (tablet) over Smartphone Mobile HotSpot (tethering) and wireless internet traffic on our network. We utilize streaming video optimization technology in our networks to help minimize data consumption while also improving the service experience for all customers. For example, a small number of Rate Plans experience video optimization via the Binge On feature. Some qualifying video providers may choose to opt-out of the Binge On program. For a list of opt-out providers . The Binge On optimization technology is not applied to the video services of these providers, and high-speed data consumption will continue as if Binge On were not enabled. Additionally, we may implement other network practices, to ensure optimized network performance as technologies evolve. For example, some plans may offer gaming or audio streaming at standard or at high definition.
WILL MY SERVICE VARY? WHAT FACTORS MAY AFFECT MY SERVICE?
As our customer, your actual Service area, network availability, coverage and quality may vary based on several factors, including your selected service, network capacity, terrain, weather, if you are on a private or public Wi-Fi network, using a non-WVT NETWORKS device, or if your Device no longer supports network technologies compatible with or available on WVT NETWORKS’s network or the networks of our roaming partners. Outages and interruptions in Service may occur, and speed of Service varies. Devices also have varying speed capabilities and may connect to different networks depending on technology. Even within coverage areas and with broadband-capable devices, network changes, traffic volume, outages, technical limitations, signal strength, obstructions, weather, public safety needs, and other conditions may impact speeds and service availability.
We engineer our network to provide consistent high-speed data service, but at times and at locations where the number of customers using the network exceeds available network resources, customers will experience reduced data speeds. In those cases, customers who choose certain rate plans may notice speeds lower than customers on other WVT NETWORKS or Sprint branded rate plans, which are prioritized higher on our networks. Further, to provide the best possible on-device experience for the most possible customers on WVT NETWORKS or Sprint branded plans and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may, without advance notice, take any actions necessary to manage our network on a content-agnostic basis, including prioritizing all on-device data over Smartphone Mobile HotSpot (tethering) data and, for the vast majority of Rate Plans, further prioritizing the data usage of a small percentage of heavy data users (as defined in their Rate Plans) and wireless internet, below that of all other customers in times and locations where there are competing customer demands for network resources, for the remainder of the billing cycle. This threshold number is periodically evaluated and may change over time.
Where the network is lightly loaded in relation to available capacity, a customer whose data is prioritized below other data traffic will notice little, if any, effect from having lower priority. This will be the case in most times and locations. At times and locations where the network is heavily loaded in relation to available capacity, however, these customers will likely see significant reductions in data speeds, especially if they are engaged in data-intensive activities. Customers should be aware that these practices may occasionally result in speeds below those typically experienced on our 5G or LTE networks. We constantly work to improve network performance and capacity, but there are physical and technical limits on how much capacity is available, and in constrained locations the frequency of heavy loading in relation to available capacity may be greater than in other locations. When network loading goes down or the customer moves to a location that is less heavily loaded in relation to available capacity, the customer’s speeds will likely improve. Visit https://wvtnetworks.com/privacy-policy/ for details and for current data amount subject to this practice.
CAN I ROAM ON MY DEVICE?
Domestic Roaming. Your Device may connect to another provider’s network (“Off-Net”). This may happen even when you are within the WVT NETWORKS coverage area. Check your Device to determine if you are Off-Net. Please do not abuse this; we may limit or terminate your Service if you do. Your device may also connect to another provider’s secured Wi-Fi network. See WHAT ARE THE PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED USES FOR MY DEVICE AND SERVICE? section for additional info.
International Roaming & Dialing. Availability and features offered for international roaming and dialing vary depending on your Rate Plan and Device. All countries may not be available for roaming, and available countries may change from time to time; visit https://wvtnetworks.com/privacy-policy for more information about which countries are currently available for roaming. Whether roaming internationally or making and sending international calls and messages while in the U.S. (or Puerto Rico), you may be charged international rates (including for voicemails left for you and for data usage). This includes per-minute rates for calls, and per-minute rates for calls transferred to your voicemail, and the relevant data rates for data usage. You may be charged for more than one call for unanswered calls that are forwarded to voicemail regardless of whether the calls result in actual voicemail messages being left for you and regardless of whether your Device is on or off. Different rates and rounding increments apply in different countries. For information on international access, rates, services, and coverage, visit https://wvtnetworks.com/privacy-policy. While roaming internationally, your data throughput may be reduced, and your Service may be otherwise limited or terminated at any time without notice. You are responsible for complying with U.S. Export Control laws and regulations, and the import laws and regulations of foreign countries when traveling internationally with your Device. The availability of, and access to, emergency calling services (e.g., 911 in the U.S.), may vary by country. You should familiarize yourself with how to access these services before using your handset for international roaming. See WHAT ARE THE PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED USES FOR MY DEVICE AND THE SERVICE? section for additional information about international roaming.
