6. SERVICE AVAILABILITY - Service is generally
available to Customer when Customer is within the
operating range of the Nextel network or within the
range of a provider with which Nextel has a
reciprocal service arrangement (“Service Area”).
Customer acknowledges that any map, diagram or
other illustration of Customer’s Service Area is only
an estimate and actual service coverage may vary.
CUSTOMER’S SERVICE AREA IS SUBJECT TO
CHANGE AT ANY TIME IN NEXTEL’S SOLE
DISCRETION. Service quality and availability
within Customer’s Service Area is also affected by
conditions Nextel does not control, including the
Equipment, problems associated with
interconnecting carriers, power failures, “viruses”,
obstructions such as buildings or trees, tunnels,
atmospheric, geographic or topographical
conditions and other conditions. Service also may
be limited or temporarily unavailable due to system
capacity limitations or system repairs or
modifications. Nextel also may be required during
public safety emergencies or when system
capacity is otherwise limited to limit access to the
Nextel network for those customers that are not
then using the Service and connected to the
network in order to facilitate communications by
public safety organizations such as police and fire
departments. In this event, customers that have
priority access Service as part of their Service Plan
will be given access to the Nextel network before
Nextel’s non-priority access customers. Nextel will
not complete calls to 900, 976 or similar numbers
for pay-per-call services. Caller identification
information may not be available for all incoming
calls. International calling may be blocked.

Service or the Equipment. Customer is
responsible for all charges or purchases
associated with Customer’s Number and
Equipment whether or not Customer was the user
of the Service or authorized its use. If Customer
fails to pay any amounts when due under this
Agreement, Customer shall be in default and
Nextel shall be entitled to exercise any remedies
available to it under this Agreement or at law or in
equity.
Service Charges - Customer shall pay all charges
for Services selected by Customer as part of
