,'Pnulatory Surcharoes anc Verizon Wireless' pricing does not include federal, state, local or foreign fees, assessments or other charges (collectively "fees"), which must be billed based on the jurisdiction in which the subscriber's cellular number is set up and located. Fees vary by state and local areas and are subject to change without notice, Verizon Wireless cannot provide a comprehensive list of all charges and regulatory fees required and assessed when using a wireless device because they vary greatly from one jurisdiction to another. In addition to taxes, surcharges and fees that we are required to collect, we will also collect charges to recover or help defray costs of taxes and governmental surcharges and fees imposed on us, and costs associated with governmental regulations and mandates on our business. These charges include, among others, a Regulatory Charge and a Federal Universal Service Charge, and are described below in more detail. These charges are Verizon Wireless charges, not taxes, and are subject to change. Because these charges are not taxes, your tax exemptions, if any, will not apply to these charges. Federal Universal Service Charge Wireless carriers are assessed by the federal government to fund the delivery of universally -affordable telecommunications and information services under the Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) program. The Federal Universal Service Charge (FUSC) collected by Verizon is a percentage of the customer's monthly bill and is used to defray the costs of the FUSF. The FUSC is collected on most items on the bill, other than data charges for wireless broadband Internet access, equipment charges and taxes. As of April 1, 2018, the basic FUSC rate is 18.40% and changes quarterly. The FUSC rate for bundled minute plans is 4.84% if the customer does not exceed the included number of minutes. The 18.40% rate applies to long distance interstate calls that exceed the customer's included bundle of minutes. Other services, such as VOIP, are charged a lower FUSC rate. • Cellular Access for voice calling plans (only on first 79% of this item) • Verizon Wireless Toll • Roaming Charges • Activation Charges • Re -connect fees • Landline Connect Fee • TXT Messaging monthly service • TXT Messaging usage • Airtime usage for voice calls • Mobile to Mobile feature • Nights and Weekends feature • Toll free feature The quarterly percentage rate described above for the FUSC is applied in our billing system. Verizon Wireless also imposes state universal service charges. These charges vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change depending on changes in the state universal service impositions on Verizon Wireless. Regulatory Charge The Regulatory Charge is an assessment that helps defray our ongoing costs of complying with various governmental mandates and assessments. Examples Include: • The cost of the license fees assessed by the FCC. • Costs assessed by the FCC to administer local number portability requirements. This charge is subject to change over time upon notice and is taxable in most jurisdictions. The Regulatory Charge is $0.01 per line for wireless Mobile Broadband Internet access and Machine to Machine devices and $0.21 per line for all other services. Regulatory fees impacting the wireless industry are constantly evolving and are subject to change without notice. For more information you can visit the FCC's website at www.fcc.gov.
