  • Peace of Mind Connect Unlimited: $75

Partial charges from activation date to the end of bill cycle. Partial charges will only appear on your first bill, or if you change plans and add-ons. For example:

  • Partial charge: $44.35

One time service fee. For example:

  • Connection fee: $40

Bill credits for promotions may take up to 2 billing cycles to appear.
