Airtime Usage
- If your Service includes measured voice usage, your airtime is charged in 30-second increments, and actual usage is rounded up to the next 30-second increment at the end of each call. We charge a 30-second of airtime usage for every fraction of the 30-second of airtime used. Airtime begins for outgoing calls when you press SEND (or similar key) and for incoming calls when a signal connection from the caller is established with our facilities. Airtime ends after you press END (or similar key), but not until the disconnect signal is received by our facilities and confirmed. All outgoing calls for which we receive answer supervision or which have at least 30 seconds of airtime, including ring time, will incur a minimum of 30-second airtime charge. Answer supervision is generally received when a call is answered; however, answer supervision may also be generated by voicemail systems, private branch exchanges, and interexchange switching equipment. Airtime may include time for us to recognize that only one party has disconnected from the call, time to clear the channels in use, and ring time. Airtime may also occur from other uses of our facilities, including voicemail deposits and retrievals, and call transfers. Calls that begin in one rate period and end in another rate period may be charged during the period in which the call began. For overseas usage of Sakura Mobile products, airtime usage will be charged in full-minute increments.

Data Services – Applications and Content
- Our Data Services may allow you to access the Internet where you will have access to text, pictures, video, games, graphics, music, email, applications, sound, and other materials primarily from third party content providers unaffiliated with Sakura Mobile (“Data Content”) and where you will have the ability to send, receive and share Data Content. You may also purchase Data Content with your Device from us or from third parties. Sakura Mobile is not a publisher of third party Data Content and is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, or other information, services, or goods provided by third parties. Third-party Data Content may among other things be offensive, indecent, violent, pornographic, inappropriate, false and misleading, inaccurate, unreliable, and unsuitable for children and minors – you are solely responsible for any third party Data Content accessed through our Data Services.

-
Data Usage
- We measure data usage by the kilobyte or the megabyte or gigabyte, where 1024 kilobytes equals 1 megabyte, and 1024 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte. To determine your data usage, we calculate in full-kilobyte increments, and actual usage is rounded up to the next full kilobyte increment at the end of each data session. Data usage occurs whenever your Device is connected to our network and is engaged in any data transmission. This includes among other things, sending and receiving email, texts, documents, and content; accessing websites; and downloading and using applications and content. Some applications, content, programs, and software that you download or that come pre-loaded on your Device automatically and regularly send and receive data transmissions without any action by you and without your knowledge. For example, applications that provide real-time information and location-based information connect to our network and continuously send and receive updated information. In addition, advertisements or advertiser-related messages or data delivered to your Device, even if delivered to an application, as well as any messages or content initiating a response to an advertisement, will count toward your data usage. Network overhead, software update requests, email notifications, and resend requests caused by network errors can increase data usage. You will be charged for all data usage when your Device is connected to our network, whether you initiate the connection or it runs automatically in the background and whether successful or not.
-
Rate Plans
- Sakura Mobile’s Wireless Service rate plans offer voice calls, SMS, and data service reflected in the contract you signed up for.

For all Sakura Mobile plans, high-speed data access allows download speeds of a maximum of 20 Mbps for compatible 4G LTE devices and 3 Mbps for compatible 4G HSPA+ devices.
-
Unlimited Data
- You agree that “unlimited” means you pay a single monthly flat rate that includes wireless data service regardless of how much data you use in a billing cycle. You further agree that “unlimited” does not mean that you can use Sakura Mobile's wireless data service in any way that you choose or for any prohibited uses and that if you use your unlimited data plan in any manner that is prohibited, Sakura Mobile can limit, interrupt, suspend or cancel your Service. Any unlimited plan we may offer is subject to these Ts&Cs, including the restrictions against prohibited uses and misuse and abuse of our Services and Devices, any reasonable network management practices, and our Acceptable Use Policy. Plans are also subject to network carriers' Fair Usage Policy (FUP), which ensures a stable network for all users by restricting the data transmission of users deemed to be using excessive amounts of data hindering network usage of other users.
-
Location-Based Services
- Sakura Mobile collects information about the approximate location of your Device in relation to our cell towers and the Global Positioning System (“GPS”).

This includes, but is not limited to, redirecting television signals for viewing on computing devices, web broadcasting, and/or the operation of servers, telemetry devices, or supervisory control and data acquisition devices. You agree not to engage in conduct toward our employees, customers, or others that involves the use of abusive, derogatory, insulting, threatening, vulgar, offensive, or similarly unreasonable language or behavior; engage in conduct that is harmful to, interferes with, damages, or adversely affects our network and infrastructure, property, Services, Devices, operations, customers, reputation, intellectual property rights, or that results in the publication of threatening, offensive or illegal material, or generates spam or other abusive messaging or calling, a security risk, or a violation of privacy; or violate, in any way, these Ts&Cs, the Agreement, or our Policies.
