how to determine which FC&A you qualify for?

I have two lines, one in a corporate market, the other in an affiliate. What
is used to determine if i qualify for FC&A for 5bux or 10bux? the billing
address or the CSA of the primary phone?

Thanks

Your billing address.

Maybe I've just been lucky but I've got my primary number in a Sprint
corporate area and 2 add-a-phones with numbers in an affiliate market. My
billing address is in the affiliate market. I've got the $5 F&CA on my
primary number which, of course, adds it to all numbers on my account. If my
primary number was in the affiliate market where I live I would be limited
to 100 roaming minutes for $10. I probably should note that I had a
SprintPCS phone in the Sprint corporate area a couple years before SprintPCS
was even available where I live so my billing address has never been in my
primary service area. I've got a couple billing cycles since adding the F&CA
and all seems to be well.

It sure does. The F&CA option is based upon the CSA of the=20
phone that "owns" the minutes. The primary phone.

Rob -

How are taxes calculated for add-a-phones? My account is billed to an
address in one state, but all the phones have an area code in another
state. My bill seems to randomly allocate two phones to the first
state and three phones to the second state. Is there a policy on
this?

Thanks!

It's been a few months since I looked at this, man, so I'm going to have=20
to get back up to speed on it before I can be sure, but here's what I=20
*think* is so:

Each phone is indeed able to be individually taxed, and it should be=20
done based upon the "coverage address." Theoretically, that should=20
match the area code. But, with a few judicious clicks of a mouse, we=20
have some leeway on that (I.e. a certain area code is played out in one=20
CSA but not in a neighboring one).

At first glance, what you describe sounds like we have it wrong. But=20
that's tough to declare for sure.

Are not add-a-phones required to be used in the same geographic area as
the main phone?

Rob - thanks!

The billing address is a better tax state than the one where the phone
area codes would indicate they are located. If I request it, would a
CSR be able to code them all as being in the billing address state?

Nope. The primary can "move" hither and thither without=20
any effect upon the secondary's service.

I'm in the midst of my work weekend, so I don't have the=20
