Device Unlocking

At Nex-Tech Wireless, our devices are not typically programmed with an “SPL, Service Programming Lock” so “unlocking” is unnecessary.  Although a device may work on one carrier’s network, it may not be technologically compatible to work on another carrier’s network.  For any device leaving Nex-Tech Wireless for service on another network, the account must be out of contract, in good standing and no fees owed to Nex-Tech Wireless.

 

Nex-Tech Wireless will accept any unlocked device onto our network that is in good condition, is in a “generic” unbranded state and matches our network requirements.  Many carriers have specific software that is proprietary to their network and unlocking a device may enable some functionality of the device but not all.  Nex-Tech Wireless does not have the ability to override other carrier’s software, even in an unlocked state.  Should a device be carrier locked, it is the customer’s responsibility to contact their previous carrier to have it unlocked.  Nex-Tech Wireless will not assume any responsibility in doing so, nor will we assume any responsibility for a “locked” device being sold to another party for activation.  Nex-Tech Wireless cannot unlock another carrier’s device.  This must be done by the current serving carrier, according to their policies.

 

Should Nex-Tech Wireless employ such software with lock enabled, it will develop and publish an unlocking policy consistent with the standards set forth in the CTIA Code Section 12 for Wireless Service.

 

Please contact Nex-Tech Wireless Customer Care team for any questions.

Do Not Call Registry

Are you receiving unsolicited phone calls on your NTW mobile device? You have the right, under federal law, to avoid unwanted telephone solicitations from telemarketers. In implementing the law, the federal government in concert with state governments, has established a national Do-No-Call Database that telemarketers are obligated to honor.

If you wish to register your telephone number in the Do-Not-Call Database, you may do so by phone (you must call from the phone whose number you wish to register) by calling 1-888-382-1222 or over the Internet at www.donotcall.gov.

There is no charge for registering your phone number and the registration will not expire. Once your number is registered, telemarketers have up to 31 days before they stop calling you.

 

Registration may not eliminate all unwanted calls since political organizations, charities and organizations conducting bona fide telephone surveys are exempt from the law. If at any time, you wish to revoke your registration you will need to call the number above from the phone whose number you wish to remove from the database.

Terms and Conditions of Customer Agreement

(May also be referred as Terms & Conditions in Nex-Tech Wireless Documents)

Thank you for choosing Nex-Tech Wireless.  The Customer Agreement includes the terms in this document together with the terms associated with the Services you select (as described in our marketing materials, e.g., service plan brochures, or on our website).  In this document Nex-Tech Wireless uses the words “we”, “us”, “our”, “Nex-Tech Wireless”, or “NTW” to refer to Nex-Tech Wireless, LLC and its affiliates doing business as Nex-Tech Wireless.  This Customer Agreement covers the terms on which we agree to provide you and you agree to accept any service or product we make available to you, including your wireless services, wireless devices, etc. (collectively “Service”).

Accepting the Customer Agreement:

You accept this Agreement when you do any of the following: (a) provide your written or electronic signature; (b) accept through an oral or electronic statement; (c) attempt to or in any way use any of the Services; (d) pay for any Services; or (e) open any materials or package that says you are accepting when you open it. You represent that you are at least 18 years old and are legally able to accept an agreement. If you are accepting for an organization, you are representing that you are authorized to bind that organization, and where the context requires, “you” means the organization. By accepting you are agreeing to every provision of this Agreement whether or not you have read it.

Authorized User:

You can appoint someone to manage your account. The person you appoint, known as an Authorized User, will be able to make changes to your account, including adding and/or disconnecting lines of Service, buying new wireless devices, and extending your contract term, make payments on the account, view information on the account, etc. You are responsible for any account changes and/or purchases made by any Authorized User.    

 

Eligibility and Use of Service:

You are eligible for Service only if you or your employer has a billing address within the Nex-Tech Wireless licensed markets. The customer address or business address for business accounts (not the billing address if different) will be deemed to be the primary place of use of Service for all devices on this account for purposes of calculating certain taxes, surcharges and fees. You agree to inform us of any changes in your customer address or business address for business accounts which must always be within Nex-Tech Wireless’s licensed markets.  NTW may terminate service if a customer uses more than 50% of their usage (voice or data) while roaming off the Nex-Tech Wireless Network.

Service is furnished for your use only; you may not resell Service to third parties. You may not use the Service for any unlawful, improper, harassing or abusive purpose or in such a way that interferes with Nex-Tech Wireless’s network, business operations employees, or customers. NTW may, in its sole discretion, block access to certain categories of numbers. We may periodically, without notice, remotely change or update your wireless device software, applications or programming. This process may affect or erase any data you have stored on the device or any personalized settings.

Acceptable Use:

You may not use our services for any activities that are unlawful, illegal, fraudulent or harmful, or in connection with any unlawful, illegal, fraudulent or harmful purpose or activity.  If we discover any unlawful or illegal materials, such as child pornography, on any devices that are given or provided to us or used in connection with our service, we are obligated to report such materials to the appropriate authorities.  You agree and acknowledge that we will have no liability to you or any third parties for reporting any unlawful or illegal materials to such authorities.

Credit and Deposits:

You authorize NTW to access your credit report to determine your credit worthiness prior to activating service. NTW may, at its sole discretion, require an applicant to make a suitable deposit with NTW to be held as a guarantee of the payment of charges for Service.  Such deposit may vary or be adjusted from time to time depending upon your credit history or the level of Service available to you. Deposits will be credited to your account after a minimum of 12 consecutive months of satisfactory payment history. NTW may apply deposits or payments to any charges you owe us on any account.  You authorize consumer reporting agencies to periodically furnish NTW with your consumer report. You authorize NTW to periodically disclose your account information and payment history to consumer reporting agencies.  Upon termination of Service, any deposit will be applied to pay any charges then or thereafter due, and any excess will be refunded within seventy-five (75) days after termination to you at your last known address.  The fact that a deposit has been made does not relieve you from prompt payment of bills nor does it constitute a waiver of the provisions of the Agreement allowing suspension of Service and/or termination for nonpayment of any sums due.  Disputes regarding past credit reporting must be sent in writing via certified mail.

Activation, Terms, and Termination:

An Activation Fee will apply to all new activations and upgrades. The terms of this Agreement will commence on the Service Activation Date and continue until termination in the following manner:  

1. You select a plan with a fixed term longer than one month, the initial term of this Agreement shall continue for the number of full months or years applicable to the plan selected. After the fixed term, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically for successive one-month intervals. You acknowledge that you will be charged a special rate in exchange for subscribing for a fixed term. Except as otherwise provided in this contract or by law, if you or NTW terminates this Agreement prior to the end of the fixed term, you agree to pay NTW (in addition to other amounts then owing under this or any other agreement) a cancellation fee of $100-$350 (smartphone users will pay $350 if the contract is terminated in the first 12 months or $175 if terminated in the second 12 months; non-smartphone users will pay $200 if contract is terminated in the first 12 months or $100 if terminated in the second 12 months) as liquidated damages due to the difficulty of determining the actual damages caused by the early termination of this Agreement. You may modify your plan upon oral or written notice to NTW subject to the terms of the contract. You or NTW may terminate this Agreement upon delivery of notice oral or written at any time and for any reason. Termination fees shall not apply to the NTW Freedom Installment program; however, any remaining balance for the device will be due upon receipt of your final invoice from NTW.

5. We may discontinue Service without prior notice to you if you breach any representations you made to us in this Agreement, fail to perform any of your obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement between you and us, or use the Service in any abusive manner or in any way that damages or interferes with us.

In the event of your default, you will reimburse us for attorney and expert witness fees, costs of investigation, collection and similar expenses incurred by us in the enforcement of any right or privilege hereunder. If this Service is terminated because of your default, we may keep any charges or sums prepaid by you upon termination. Our remedies hereunder are not exclusive but are in addition to all other remedies provided by law. Further, you may be subject to reactivation charges if Service is suspended or terminated and subsequently reconnected.
6. If you are “hotlined” (suspended)  for late payment, NTW may at its sole discretion assess a “reconnect fee” per phone, to the customer’s past due balance each time the account is “hotlined”. This fee along with the past due balance must be paid prior to reactivation of Service. All recurring monthly charges including taxes will continue while the line(s) are suspended/hotlined.
7. If Service is disconnected for any reason within the term of the agreement, you understand that you will be charged back for any signing bonus received, and any other promotional offers, in addition to any remaining balance for the device, as well as the fee for early termination of the contract ($100 - $350 dependent upon phone and time completed of contract) if applicable, upon receipt of your final invoice from NTW.

Payment of Charges:

You are responsible for payment of all charges for Service furnished together with usage and third party charges (which are in addition to regular monthly service charges).  Payments are delinquent if not received by NTW by the due date shown on the monthly invoice.

Usage charges are billed at the end of each billing cycle, with monthly service charges prorated in the event of activation, termination or expiration of this Agreement on a day other than the last day of the billing cycle.

1. Payments must be made by the due date.
2. In the event your payment is not posted to your account by the due date, you shall pay NTW a late payment fee of $5.00, of any amount not paid when due for every month the amount remains unpaid; provided such a charge is permitted according to any applicable tariff or law.

All coverage maps are high level representations of outdoor coverage and there are gaps in coverage within areas shown as covered on the maps. Coverage is not available everywhere, nor can we guarantee you will receive coverage at all times, or without interruptions or delays (e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.) in the coverage areas we identify.  Actual coverage and quality of Services may be affected by conditions within or beyond our control, including network problems, software, signal strength, your equipment, structures (including buildings in which you may be located), and atmospheric, geographic, or topographical conditions.

See your phone guide for how to adjust phone settings. Certain features and services may not be available in roaming coverage areas (including data services, messaging services, voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).
