Data Plans and Features: Permitted Uses. You can use our Data Plans and Features for accessing the Internet and for such uses as: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) e–mail; (iii) intranet access (including accessing corporate intranets, e–mail and individual productivity applications made available by your company); (iv) uploading, downloading and streaming of audio, video and games; and (v) Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
Data Plans and Features: Prohibited Uses. You may not use our Data Plans and Features for illegal purposes or purposes that infringe upon others' intellectual property rights, or in a manner that interferes with other users' service, interferes with the network's ability to fairly allocate capacity among users, or that otherwise degrades service quality for other users. Examples of prohibited usage include: (i) server devices or host computer applications, including continuous Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine–to–machine connections, or peer–to–peer (P2P) file–sharing applications that are broadcast to multiple servers or recipients such that they could enable "bots" or similar routines (as set forth in more detail in (iii) below) or otherwise denigrate network capacity or functionality; (ii) as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections; (iii) "auto–responders," "cancel–bots," or similar automated or manual routines that generate amounts of net traffic that could disrupt net user groups or e–mail use by others; (iv) generating "spam" or unsolicited commercial or bulk e–mail (or activities that facilitate the dissemination of such e–mail); (v) any activity that adversely affects the ability of other users or systems to use either Verizon Wireless' services or the Internet–based resources of others, including the generation or dissemination of viruses, malware, or "denial of service" attacks; (vi) accessing, or attempting to access without authority, the information, accounts or devices of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to penetrate, Verizon Wireless' or another entity's network or systems; or (vii) running software or other devices that maintain continuous active Internet connections when a computer's connection would otherwise be idle, or "keep alive" functions, unless they adhere to Verizon Wireless' requirements for such usage, which may be changed from time to time. By way of example only, you may not use a Data Plan or Feature for web broadcasting, or for the operation of servers, telemetry devices and/or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition devices.
You may assess and monitor your own data usage during a particular billing period, including during the Return Period under your Worry Free Guarantee, by accessing My Verizon online, or by contacting Customer Service.
Approximate Data Usage Examples: Basic information and examples showing the approximate data usage for several common Internet activities appear below.
| The speed of the Verizon Wireless data network is measured in Kilobits (kb) per second. However, the amount of data transmitted over the Verizon Wireless data network is measured in Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB). | |
| Bit | A unit of information that respresent a single character. |
| Byte | A unit of information composed of 8 bits. |
| Kilobyte | 1024 bytes (measuring the number of kilobytes tells you the size of a file and/or the amount of data you have used). |
| Megabyte | 1024 Kilobytes (measuring the number of megabytes tells you the size of a file and/or the amount of data you have used). |
| Gigabyte | 1024 Megabytes (measuring the number of gigabytes tells you the amount of data you have used). |

Prepaid Service
If you have existing Prepaid service and transfer your service to contract service, we will treat the remaining balance on your account as an account credit for the contract service. We cannot give you any credit for transaction taxes you may have paid to purchase the Prepaid airtime for your Prepaid Account. This could result in you paying transaction taxes twice for the service transfer. Your balance may not exceed $1,000 and you may be prevented from making payments to your account if it reaches $1,000. Minimum payment is $15; maximum payment is $250. You may replenish up to ten times or $600 in a rolling 30-day period. Transaction fees may apply for some methods of payment.
