Mobile Terms and Conditions

You must also ensure that your End User Terms include clauses regarding carryover and endless data, using substantially equivalent wording to that set out at here.

The key points to be included in your End User Terms are as follows:

• The terms for Services only covers the terms on which you may use the Services. They do not cover your purchase of your Handset.
• Services will be provided within the network coverage area but it is always possible that the quality or coverage area may be affected at times.
• You must not use the Services to cause any nuisance or for any illegal or improper purposes.
• You agree that we and our network provider can store, process and use your personal data, which we collect or which you submit to us.
• Fair Use Policy applies to the 2talk Network Services (details of the Fair Use Policy can be found at here.

The Minimum Terms to be included in your End User Terms are as follows:

1. Coverage

• The Services are only available within the coverage of the Network.
• We and our Network Provider will do our best to provide quality Services to you but there may be situations when the Services are not continuously available or the quality is affected and so we cannot guarantee continuous fault-free service.
• Coverage and Services may be adversely affected by radio interference, geographic or atmospheric conditions, outages, maintenance works, over-loading, faults or limitations in your Handset or the mobile phone or other device of the person with whom you are communicating, faults or other operational difficulties in the Network or any other mobile telecommunications network to which the Network is connected, or other circumstances or factors not wholly in our or our Network Provider’s control. This means you may not receive all of the Services in all areas all of the time.
• Coverage and Services can also change as our Network Provider continues to manage, build, develop and improve the Network. Managing the Network includes prioritising certain types of traffic over other traffic at times of congestion.

2. The Services

• The maximum length of any one call you make is 180 minutes. If you reach this limit the call will be terminated. You can re-dial and continue the call should you wish to do so.
• Where a Service is only available in a specific geographic location this will be set out in the specific terms and conditions applicable to that Service.
• Not all Handsets and devices can receive all of the Services and some mobile phones and devices may not be compatible with the Network. We only agree to provide Services to you when you use a Handset or device of a make and model that is compatible with the Network. You are responsible for obtaining a compatible Handset or other device or equipment required by you to use the Services.
• We may restrict or prevent the use of voice over internet protocol (“VOIP”) or message over internet protocol (“MOIP”) communications on the Network, where your use of such communications would cause degradation or impact the performance of, the Network.
• The Services may be changed, suspended or removed by us and/or new Services introduced from time to time.

3. Your Responsibilities
   
   • You agree not to use the Services to make abusive, offensive or nuisance calls or communications (including spam) or for any illegal or fraudulent purpose. We may immediately cease providing Services to you if you do so.
   • You must not use any Handset which masks or in any way alters the true point of origin or termination of any call or other transmission over the Network.
