NET10 Pay-As-You-Go Plans work for basic phones only and come with a certain number of minutes. Pay-As-You-Go Plans vary in the number of Service Days offered. Minutes can be used for calling, text messaging, and data services. The rate to send or receive a regular text message is generally .5 minutes per message. The rate to send and receive a MMS message (picture or video message) is generally 2.5 minutes per message. For incoming messages, minutes are only deducted for messages which are opened. On certain NET10 phones, other text messaging rates may apply. See individual NET10 phone package for details. Minutes are also deducted for data services. For more information about the rates that apply for using data services please see Section 6 below. Minutes are deducted for all incoming and outgoing calls, including incoming call waiting calls, simultaneous calls, toll free calls, and calls to 411, 611, Customer Care, and your voice mail. For simultaneous calls, such as incoming call waiting and 3-way calling (where available) minutes will be deducted for each call. Minutes are not deducted for calls to 911. For outbound calls, you may be charged minutes for incomplete, busy, or no answer calls. Minutes are deducted in full unit increments. Partial minutes are rounded up to the next minute. No credit is given for dropped calls. Your NET10 phone may include 10 airtime minutes for set up. These minutes may be used for test calls at our discretion. Monthly Plans. NET10 Monthly Plans work on smartphones and basic phones and come with unlimited nationwide calling, text messaging (including international text messaging), and up to a certain amount of high speed data at 4G speeds for each Plan Cycle depending on which Plan you select. All NET10 Monthly Plans come with thirty (30) Service Days. 4G/4G LTE networks are not available on all devices and in all locations. 4G/4G LTE networks require a capable device and SIM card. Actual availability, coverage, and speeds may vary. After your high speed data balance is reached, your data speeds will be reduced to as low as 64 kbps for the remainder of your Plan cycle. Your high speed data will be restored once your next Plan Cycle begins unless you purchase a new Monthly Plan prior to the start of your next Plan Cycle. If your data speeds are reduced, the reduced speeds may impact the functionality of some data applications, such as streaming audio or video or web browsing. Data transmitted over Wi-Fi does not count against your data balance. Depending on the Carrier network, your Monthly Plan may be automatically enabled with a feature that optimizes all detectable video streaming to DVD-quality (typically 480p) through the Carrier’s network (“Data Optimizer”). Data Optimizer manages the amount of data used when streaming video on your phone in order to improve your experience by reducing the chances of your video stalling or buffering. Video streaming over a Wi-Fi connection will be delivered at the video’s native resolution. You may disable the Data Optimizer feature at any time by contacting Customer Care. Upgrade Plans. For more information about Upgrade Plans please refer to Section IV below. 4. USING YOUR SERVICE Service End Date. To keep your Service active, you must purchase and redeem a Plan prior to your Service End Date. Your Service End Date is the last day of your Plan Cycle and is determined by the date on which you activated your Service by redeeming a Plan. If you fail to redeem a new Plan prior to your Service End Date, your Account will be deactivated on your Service End Date and, if applicable, you may lose your phone number. To prevent this from occurring, please keep your Service active by purchasing a Plan before your Service End Date. NET10 reserves the right to deactivate any Account for which there is no usage for a period of six (6) consecutive months for smartphones and twelve (12) consecutive months for basic phones. If your Account is deactivated, it may be reactivated by purchasing and redeeming a new Plan. Once reactivated, you will be assigned a new phone number. Airtime which remained unused at the time of deactivation will still be available if Service is reactivated within sixty (60) days from the deactivation date for basic Phones and within thirty (30) days for smartphones, otherwise any unused airtime will be lost. Carryover Benefits. Certain Pay-Go Plans provide a Carryover Benefit which allows you to carryover unused minutes when you purchase a new Plan and to combine the number of minutes and Service Days provided by your Pay-Go Plan. For example if you purchase and redeem two Pay-Go Plans that come with 200 minutes and 30 Service Days, your Account will be credited with 400 minutes and 60 Service Days. If you add a 30-day Pay-Go Plan fifteen (15) days into an existing 30-day Plan Cycle, you will have forty-five (45) Service Days and your Service End Date will be adjusted accordingly. Accordingly, you can extend your Service End Date by adding multiple Plans to your Account on or before your Service End Date. Please note that upon your redemption of a Monthly Plan, any unused minutes and Service Days carried over under your Account will be cleared and will be replaced with the service and Service Days provided under your new Monthly plan. NET10 Auto Refill. You may enroll in Auto Refill to purchase a new Plan each time your Plan Cycle expires by registering your credit or debit card online with the NET10 website and selecting the Plan you want to purchase on a recurring basis. When you enroll in Auto Refill, a new Plan will be automatically purchased and redeemed to your Account each month at the end of your Plan Cycle and your credit or debit card will be automatically charged for the cost of the Plan you elected to purchase on a recurring basis. See additional terms and conditions which apply when you enroll in Auto Refill. NET10 Reserve: With NET10 Reserve, you may purchase and add to your Account one or more Monthly Plans. If you have a Monthly Plan in your NET10 Reserve, it will be automatically applied to your Account on your Service End Date. You may redeem the Service Plans in your NET10 Reserve at any time prior to your Service End Date, however, if you do so, you will lose any used service under your previous Plan. If you are enrolled in Auto Refill, the Plans in your NET10 Reserve will take precedence over Auto Refill and will be redeemed before an Auto Refill purchase is processed. Customers with Monthly Plans in their NET10 Reserve will also be unable to purchase Pay-Go Plans until all Plans in their NET10 Reserve have been applied. All plan rates, offerings, and features are subject to change without prior notice. Plans have no cash value and are non-refundable. Plans cannot be transferred to another account nor can they be used with or transferred to another brand owned by TracFone Wireless, Inc. or another wireless service provider. No refunds or discounts will be given for (i) unused Service that expires by your Service End Date; (ii) unused Service if your phone if it is lost or stolen; or (iii) NET10 Plans purchased that are not compatible or supported by your phone. 5. TEXT MESSAGING You should not attempt to participate in Premium SMS services or campaigns other than those authorized by NET10. Any text message you send to a “short code” not authorized by NET10 will likely not go through. Any charges you may incur as a result of your attempts to participate in Premium SMS services or campaigns not authorized by NET10, are not refundable. 6. DATA SERVICES Some apps, content, programs, and software that you download or that come preloaded on your phone automatically and regularly send and receive data transmissions in order to function properly, without you affirmatively initiating the request and without your knowledge. For example, mobile apps that provide real-time information and location-based information connect to our network, and send and receive updated information so that it is available to you when you want to access it. Your Account balance will deducted for all Data Usage initiated by your phone, including, Data Usage for connections that you affirmatively initiate and for those that run automatically in the background without your knowledge whether they are successful or not. The duration of your data connection and the associated Data Usage is not determined from the exact moment you press a button on your phone. Data Usage also depends on the size of the content and the actual time it takes to download or transmit the content or MMS message. If you cancel or attempt to cancel a download or transmission in progress, or if the process is otherwise interrupted through no action on your part, you will still incur Data Usage. Unless you are using Wi-Fi, any Data Usage on your phone, will count against your Account balance. Pay-As-You-Go Plans. With Pay-As-You-Go Plans that come with minutes only, one (1) minute will be deducted from your Account per (1) minute of Data Usage. Minutes deducted for Data Usage are deducted in full minute increments. Data Usage lasting less than sixty (60) seconds will be rounded up to the next full minute. Your NET10 phone will not allow you to access NET10’s Mobile Web Portal without a balance of at least 10 minutes. For MMS messages, your Account will deducted 2.5 minutes for each MMS message you send or receive in addition to the one (1) minute deduction for each minute it takes to send or receive the MMS message.

With certain NET10 Phones, you may be able to view, access, use, or download online content (“Content”) using NET10’s Mobile Web Portal, an internet browser, an app store, or a mobile app depending on your phone type (e.g., basic phone or smartphone).

You will have the opportunity to select one of two payment options: (1) you may use a credit card to complete your purchase or (2) you may select a direct deduction of minutes from your NET10 phone. Content Charges paid via direct deduction of minutes are calculated using a dollar-to-minute conversion factor of $1.00 equals 10 minutes of airtime. The costs for Data Services in U.S. Dollars and/or minutes and the dollar-to-minute conversion factor are subject to change at any time without notice. The total Access Charge will vary depending on the size of the content and the actual time it takes to complete the download. Any Content you purchase and download may only be used or viewed on the phone used to purchase and download the Content and cannot be transferred to another phone, including, a new or replacement NET10 phone.
