Calling From Afghanistan

Data Plans and Features

If you download an audio or video file, the file may be downloaded in sections or in its entirety; data charges will apply to the portion downloaded, regardless of whether you listen to or watch all of it. You may access 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.

Data sessions automatically terminate after 24 hours of activity. Data session is inactive when no data is being transferred.  Data session may seem inactive while data is actively being transferred to the device, or may seem active when it is actually cached and not transferring data. Please note that certain applications or widgets on Smartphones periodically send and receive data in the background, without any action by the user. This incidental data use will be billed according to your data package. Third-party applications may automatically reinitiate data sessions without your pressing or clicking the or connect button.

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; that violates trade and economic sanctions and prohibitions as promulgated by the departments of Commerce, Treasury or any other U.S. government agency; that 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 that are broadcast to multiple servers or recipients such that they could enable “bots” or similar routines (as set forth in more detail in (ii) below) or otherwise degrade network capacity or functionality; (ii) “auto-responders,” “cancel-bots,” or similar automated or manual routines that generate amounts of net traffic that could disrupt net user groups or email use by others; (iii) generating “spam” or unsolicited commercial or bulk email (or activities that facilitate the dissemination of such email); (iv) 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; (v) 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 (vi) 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. Customers who do not have dedicated Mobile Broadband devices cannot tether other devices to laptops or personal computers for use as wireless modems unless they subscribe to Mobile Broadband Connect.

We further reserve the right to take measures to protect our network and other users from harm, compromised capacity or degradation in performance. These measures may impact your service, and we reserve the right to deny, modify or terminate service, with or without notice, to anyone we believe is using Data Plans or Features in a manner that adversely impacts our network. We may monitor your compliance, or other subscribers’ compliance, with these terms and conditions, but we will not monitor the content of your communications except as otherwise expressly permitted or required by law.

International Eligibility
International Eligibility requires a minimum payment history and credit approval; a contract term and security deposit may also be required. Failure to maintain these requirements may result in suspension of International Eligibility without notice. You can remove International Eligibility at any time by calling Customer Service. You are responsible for any unauthorized use of your SIM Card and will safeguard security codes.  Upon termination of service, destroy your SIM Card. See verizonwireless.com/global for details.


International Roaming
 When using Global Data or  Global Phone services, or if you subscribe to a Nationwide Plus Canada or Nationwide Plus Mexico Plan, and you’re roaming near country borders, calls may be carried by a cell site located in a neighboring country and billed at that country’s rates.
