In addition to the prepaid amount for the service, you must pay for any minutes used over what is provided by your plan. Failure to pay for the additional minutes will result in your account being suspended. If you cancel the service before your plan term ends or if service is terminated for any reason, you will not be reimbursed for the period not used.
If your credit card information is stored at our website, monthly/quarterly fees may, at your option, be paid by automatic debit 2 days before the bill cycle (“due date”) and/or when your prepaid balance falls below a customer set level, cheaptollfree.com will automatically top up your account by charging the funds needed to your stored credit card. If your payment is received over the weekend period, your payment will be applied to your account the following Monday; if your payment is received during a US holiday period, your payment will be applied to your account on the following business day in which we are opened.

We begin billing you for call time when the called party, or a voicemail system, answering machine, facsimile machine, a key press greeting, and/or a PBX/Auto Attendant, answers the call, and ends when one of the parties disconnects the call. It is important to note; however, that some foreign carriers with whom cheaptollfree.com must interconnect with in order to terminate calls to foreign regions, designate a call as “answered” at the first ring or after a certain number of rings and will thereby charge cheaptollfree.com for a completed call. In cases such as this, cheaptollfree.com will charge you as if the call was answered by the called party.
We reserve the right to obtain payment from any and all credit/debit card(s) on file for your account with cheaptollfree.com, at anytime, without further authorization. Further, if payment is not immediately available on said card(s), we reserve the right to continue to attempt to obtain payment until such a time as payment is successful.
If, as a result of our billing system and processes, your bank or financial account becomes overdrawn, you will be the sole party responsible for said fee(s). cheaptollfree.com will not reimburse you for any such fee(s) nor shall it be liable for any harm or loss you experience as a result of such.
We reserve the right to refuse or reject payments sent to us from “unconfirmed” and/or “unverified” PayPal accounts. If your PayPal payment is accepted by our Accounting Department, your payment will be posted to your cheaptollfree.com account within 24 business hours. Further, all such payments are posted in the order in which they were received.
All monies are payable to cheaptollfree.com in US currency only. If you send funds in any other currency, cheaptollfree.com may either reject your payment or convert the payment into US dollars using the exchange rate in effect at that time and assess a 2.5% conversion fee on your payment, which will be deducted from the payment after conversion.
You may not lower your account’s Payment Settings below the minimum monthly/annual fee due for the phone number(s) you subscribe to.
We ask that you please allow at least 24 business hours, from the time we receive your check, money order, PayPal, or wire transfer payment(s), to have the payment(s) applied to your account. If your payment is received over the weekend period, your payment, if it is to be posted, will be applied to your account the following Monday; if your payment is received during a US holiday period, your payment will be applied to your account on the following business day in which we are opened. If you have not completed our email verification process, your payment will be held until such time as you complete the email verification process on our website.
If cheaptollfree.com finds that you are unable to pay for your Service, cheaptollfree.com reserves the right to require that you fund your account within a specified number of days and that all future payment(s) be made via money order or wire transfer only.
The monthly/quarterly minimum fee(s) are due each month, regardless of usage. Any unused included plan minutes will expire at the end of each month and will NOT “rollover” for future use.

If the vanity phone number you have requested is available for purchase, and we secure the phone number(s) for you, we will send you an email notification to that effect.
You should not publish a vanity/custom phone number(s) you order until such time as we have given you written notice that the phone number(s) you have ordered are activated on your cheaptollfree.com account and you have thoroughly tested the phone number(s) to ensure that the functionality of said number(s) suits your needs.

13. NUMBER PORTABILITY
You agree that cheaptollfree.com maintains exclusive ownership of the Service(s) it provides to you.
You agree and understand that cheaptollfree.com is unable to influence the outcome of your request to port a number(s) into its systems. Further, cheaptollfree.com does not guarantee that your port request will be a success. If your transfer is a success, generally speaking, transfer requests for toll-free phone numbers, porting into our systems, take between 7-9 business days to process – it is important to note that this time frame is largely dependent on the speed with which your current provider responds to our request to port the phone number(s) into our systems. It is not uncommon for a transfer request to take longer than 7-9 business days; however. If your transfer request is unsuccessful, we may notify you of the response we received from your current provider; in such case, you may have the option of resubmitting the request.
You may port a phone number(s) away from cheaptollfree.com provided your account with cheaptollfree.com is active, in good standing, all monthly and/or annual dues (including any unbilled charges and/or fees) have been PAID IN FULL, we have received a transfer request from your new carrier requesting to port the phone number(s) away, and the phone number(s) you are requesting to port have each been active on your cheaptollfree.com account for at least 90 days. If your cheaptollfree.com account does not satisfy ALL of the aforementioned criteria, cheaptollfree.com reserves the right to reject your request to port said phone number(s) away from cheaptollfree.com and you hereby waive any right to contest the rejection. If the port is successful, we will terminate our Service for that phone number(s); if unsuccessful, for any reason, our Service to the phone number(s) you were attempting to port away from cheaptollfree.com will not terminate and you will continue to be responsible for paying cheaptollfree.com all charges and fees for the phone number(s) in question.
You may port a phone number(s) into our systems provided you are the current owner of the phone number(s) you wish to port, you have an active cheaptollfree.com account in good standing, your request to port the phone number(s) has been accepted and approved by the current carrier of said phone number(s), and you have paid the monthly cost(s), upfront, for each of the phone number(s) you wish to port into our system(s).
A successful port request does not constitute the cancellation of your cheaptollfree.com account. If you request to port a phone number(s) away from cheaptollfree.com and your request is approved and the phone number(s) released, you will remain responsible for any and all phone number(s) and/or Services you still have with us.
If you desire to cancel your Service and use your cheaptollfree.com phone number with your new carrier, it is your responsibility to ensure that the number has successfully transferred or ported prior to cancelling your account with cheaptollfree.com. Cancellation of your cheaptollfree.com account prior to confirmation from your new provider that the telephone number has successfully transferred may result in an inability for cheaptollfree.com to transfer your number and the potential loss of your number. Failure to cancel your account with cheaptollfree.com after successfully transferring to another provider may result in continued monthly charges by cheaptollfree.com for which you will remain responsible until such time as you cancel your Service with us ENTIRELY.
