Twigby Mobile Terms and Conditions of Service, as of 8/29/2024
This Agreement is entered into by Twigby Mobile (“us” or “we”) and you (or “customer”). This Agreement includes the terms and conditions of your wireless service including, but not limited to, equipment purchased from the Twigby Mobile Store, or any device brought to Twigby Mobile through the “Bring Your Own Phone” program (“phone or device”), accessories, and your use of Twigby Mobile's Services (“Service”), features and terms related to the minutes, texts, and data you use. As a condition of service, we reserve the right to communicate billing updates and critical services via SMS text messages sent to your device and your email address associated with your account. Please read this Agreement carefully.
1. EFFECTIVE DATE OF YOUR AGREEMENT
Your Agreement starts when you accept. You accept when you do one or more of the following things: (a) create an account on our website at www.twigby.com (“website”); (b) activate a Service on a device; (c) use your device or any of the features within your Service Plan; (d) open a package that says you are accepting by opening it; (e) use your Service after making a change or addition to the account; or (f) using the service after the terms have been updated by Twigby Mobile.
2. YOUR SERVICE PLAN BECOMES PART OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
You acknowledge by accepting this Agreement that you have seen, you have the opportunity to print, and you fully understand Twigby Mobile's Service Plan as well as you fully understand the costs associated with the plan, its taxes, and surcharges.
MONTHLY FEES
You will be billed for Service for each device that is active, hotlined, or suspended on your account for all or part of your billing period. If you deactivate (“cancel,” “disconnect” or “terminate”) and reactivate (“restart”) the same device multiple times within a given billing period, your account may be charged multiple monthly fees for that one device.
MINUTES
The time of a call will be determined based on the location of the network equipment providing service for a call and not the location of your device or your device’s area code. Twigby Mobile Service Plans refer to “minutes” for both inbound and outbound calls and are measured from call initiation to termination, which is defined as pressing the “send” key to initiate the call and the “end” key to terminate a call. Calls are billed in one-minute increments, with a minimum time per call of one minute. Call times are rounded up to the nearest whole minute. Minutes allow you to call anywhere in the United States and to certain international destinations where our services are available. International destinations can be found on our website. Calls made while outside of the United States are not permitted. Visit our website for our Service Plans. We will not directly complete any calls to 1-900, 1-976, or other pay-per-call services.
TEXT AND PICTURE MESSAGING
Text and picture messages all use one (1) Text when a message is received and one (1) Text for each recipient when a message is sent to multiple recipients, regardless of whether it is read or viewed. With our unlimited text feature, you can send and receive unlimited text messages without any additional charges. However, with this feature, when a message is sent to a group or when any type of media file is attached to a message, a data plan is required and a deduction to the allowance of said plan will occur. Messages can be sent from within the United States where services are available to anywhere, including many international destinations, where services are available. Visit our website for more details.
DATA USAGE
A deduction from your data allowance occurs whenever data is sent or received, regardless of the reason. Phone, software, and application downloads and/or updates use substantial amounts of data. Twigby Mobile recommends connecting to Wi-Fi instead of using cellular data to download these updates. Data usage is rounded up to the nearest kilobyte. Visit our website for current data usage rate details. The Hotspot feature will only function if you have a data plan with high-speed data remaining.
ADDITIONAL CHARGES
We may charge additional fees for specialized requests or services related to your account as determined at our discretion.
3. DUTIES OF TWIGBY MOBILE
We provide mobile telecommunications services using the nation's largest and most reliable network for use exclusively with devices purchased from us or devices activated by us as part of any applicable “Bring Your Own Phone” program. Under no circumstances will a device be allowed on our network if the model is not certified as compatible by our underlying network vendor. Certification can be checked by using Twigby Mobile's compatibility checker https://www.twigby.com/page/byod. If a device is added to the network without proper compatibility acknowledgement, then it is subject to removal by Twigby Mobile and may result in loss of line and/or phone number. We cannot guarantee that a device not provided by Twigby Mobile or a Twigby Mobile Device that has been modified by you, or a third party will be compatible with the underlying network, will comply with applicable FCC or other legal requirements, or that you will be able to access and use the Service you have purchased. If you alter or modify your device in a way not authorized or recommended by the manufacturer of your device, you may lose functionality and you may be required to purchase a new device to restore Service.
You may use our website to manage your account, make payments, view our content, and learn more about our devices and services. Use of our website is subject to the terms set forth in this document and our Privacy Policy, which are available on our website. We do not guarantee access to the website or phone application or assume any responsibility for actions or tasks that could not be completed due to not having access to the website or phone application. You are responsible for any actions performed with your login.
Because any device you may bring to your Twigby Mobile Service is no longer active directly with the original carrier, some device features will no longer work, and Twigby Mobile, who is responsible for your Service, will not support them. Check with Customer Service if you have questions regarding any lost features.
Twigby Mobile or its partners may restrict calling to or from certain destinations, regions, class of devices, or other terminal categories based on fraud, economics, or other business reasons determined at the sole discretion of Twigby Mobile.
NETWORK COVERAGE
Our Service is only available in geographic areas covered by the digital Service network footprint of our network partner(s) who provide the underlying carrier functions of the service. Local phone numbers may not be available in certain markets.
Wireless services use radio transmissions, and coverage is not available everywhere. Quality of Service may be affected by conditions within and beyond our control, including atmospheric, geographic, topographic conditions, underlying carrier actions, or by damage to your device. We do not warrant or guarantee that Service will be available at any specific time or geographic location, or that Service will be provided without interruption. Any statements or maps provided by us or our authorized dealers and resellers about coverage are intended to provide high-level estimates of our coverage areas when using our Service outdoors under optimal conditions, and do not mean that Service will be available under all circumstances, at all times, or without interruption. Our wireless coverage and signal strength are not exact science. There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that, along with other factors both within and beyond our control, may result in Service interruptions, slower data speeds, and lower quality of Service, or possibly nonexistent Service. You should never rely solely on your device for emergency calls, including to 911.
4. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
Your Service, device, and related terms are subject to change at any time without notice. However, for any changes relating to your plan’s Service rates, not related to taxes or surcharges, or for changes to our Privacy Policies, STX will make an attempt to notify you at least 30 days in advance, via texts, emails, or other forms of communication, of the posting of new Privacy Policies. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, we can change prices and any other component of this Agreement at any time. STX is not responsible if you choose to disregard notices, fail to read them thoroughly, or block communications. STX is also not responsible if we have made a good faith attempt to notice in our routine processes, but the message did not reach you. We reserve the right to modify or cancel your Service or your account or take corrective action at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, your violation of any provision of this Agreement.
5. PROVISION AND MAINTENANCE OF DEVICES
You are responsible for the activation, operation, and maintenance of your device. You must provide and maintain the device in compliance with applicable Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations. The operating characteristics of the device shall be such as not to interfere with the Services offered by us to any of our customers or harm the network. We will not be held liable for loss of any stored or downloaded data on the device. We recommend backing up all contents of the phone prior to contacting us to activate new, change existing, or troubleshoot issues with service. Twigby Mobile is not responsible for repairing or replacing any device that is damaged or destroyed. We do not manufacture equipment or software, and the only warranties and representations with respect to equipment or software are those provided by the manufacturer or creator of such.
You acknowledge that you subscribe to Twigby Mobile wireless services and that the underlying network relied upon by Twigby Mobile may change from time-to-time with notice. If your phone is not upgraded, your phone is or has become non-compatible, or the correct SIM card has not been loaded into your device, your phone will be unable to connect to the new network. Twigby Mobile may attempt to port your service to the new network automatically or activate a new IMEI as a placeholder to retain your service options and to save your phone number from being discontinued when the prior network is terminated, or your service would otherwise be terminated. Twigby Mobile will then assist any affected subscribers to enable or provide for purchase compatible devices or other remedy to minimize interruption to the subscriber. It is also recognized that the coverage characteristics of a new network may be different than those of any previous network.
6. NO WARRANTIES ON OUR BEHALF
You agree that neither we nor our vendors, suppliers, licensors, or affiliates are responsible for any damages resulting from: (a) providing or failing to provide Services, including, but not limited to, deficiencies or problems with a device or network coverage (for example, dropped, blocked, interrupted Services, etc.); (b) traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims relating to our Services; (c) Data Content or information accessed while using our Services; (d) an interruption or failure in accessing or attempting to access emergency services from a device, including through 911, Enhanced 911, or otherwise; (e) interrupted, failed, or inaccurate location information services; (f) information or communication that is blocked by a spam filter; (g) damage to your device or any computer or equipment connected to your device, or damage to or loss of any information stored on your device, computer, equipment, or our storage space from your use of the Services or from viruses, worms, or downloads of malicious content, materials, data, text, images, video, or audio; or (h) things beyond our control, including acts of God (for example, weather-related phenomena, fire, earthquake, hurricane, etc.), riot, strike, war, terrorism, or government orders or acts, device capabilities and/or errors, third party systems/functionality. You should implement appropriate safeguards to secure your device, computer, or equipment and to back up your information stored on each. To the extent allowed by law, we make no warranties regarding equipment or services, beyond what is contained in this Agreement, and we make no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Our liability for monetary damages for any claims you may have against us is limited to no more than the proportionate amount of the service charges attributable to the affected period. Under no circumstances are we liable for any incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages of any nature whatsoever arising out of or related to providing or failing to provide services in connection with a device, including, but not limited to, lost profits, loss of business, or cost of replacement products and services.
7. ACCESS NUMBERS
You shall not have any proprietary right in the Access Number(s) provided by us and we reserve the right to assign, designate or change such Access Number(s) when, in our sole discretion, such assignment designation or change is reasonable or necessary in the conduct of our business. Requests to change a phone number can be made by signing into your account, selecting Account Settings, and scrolling down to Line Settings for the number you wish to change. Click on the Phone Number row header and follow the prompts. Number changes require upfront payment of the number change fee. If requests become excessive as defined in our sole discretion, Twigby Mobile reserves the right to deny the request.
You shall not retain the Access Number(s) provided by us for use with services provided by any other wireless provider unless you submit a Port Request with accurate and complete information requested by Twigby Mobile including account number, account name, account address, and Number Transfer PIN. To request a Number Transfer PIN for your account, please contact our customer support department by utilizing our live chat service. If for any reason Twigby Mobile is suspect of a request, additional information may be required. Port Requests must also adhere to all porting terms and conditions set forth by the Federal Communications Commission, including but not limited to, compliance with regulated rate centers. Any Port Request from you that meets the requirements set by Twigby Mobile and the Federal Communications Commission shall entitle you to retain the Access Number(s) provided by us for use with a wireless provider authorized and approved by us. You will be responsible for all agreement terms and conditions for any changes in Service and for any applicable early termination fees associated with any or all numbers ported from or to another wireless provider.
8. ACCEPTABLE USE OF SERVICE
Twigby Mobile reserves the right to review the use of Service at any time to ensure you are not using Service in violation of our definition of “Acceptable Use.” Twigby Mobile defines Acceptable Use as adherence to all policies, terms, and conditions as outlined in this Agreement.
NETWORK
Twigby Mobile utilizes one nationwide network carrier and requires that your physical service address be within the area covered by the network. Twigby Mobile reserves the right to restrict usage outside of the network. You can determine if your physical service address is within these coverage areas by visiting our website.
DEVICE COMPATABILITY
Twigby Mobile requires that any device being added to Twigby Mobile's network must be evaluated by the Compatibility tool on the Twigby Mobile Site. Any device found to be on the network that does not meet the compatibility rules OR causes Twigby Mobile to incur extra costs/fees from its underlying network will be subject to removal and/or the cancellation of Service.
EXCESSIVE OR PROHIBITED USE
Twigby Mobile identifies “high” or “excessive use” lines that exceed reasonable use as determined solely by Twigby Mobile. Twigby Mobile will use its own proprietary and confidential criteria for the determination of excessive use. You agree never to use Service in a manner that Twigby Mobile considers, at our sole discretion, to be “unreasonable,” “fraudulent,” or “abusive” and therefore understand Service is subject to immediate suspension, blocking or termination.

10. YOUR BILL
Your bill (“Statement”) is a record generated after a billing period ends and includes all activity from the period. If you need to review charges for the current billing period, please sign into your account, locate the phone number for which you have the inquiry, and select the link to view charges. If you think there has been an error with a charge to your account, you must notify us promptly by using the methods indicated on our website. If you do not notify us within five (5) business days of the charge, you waive any right to dispute the charge, including arbitration or a court proceeding. If you notify us within five (5) business days and we determine that the disputed charge was inappropriate, we will credit, refund, or provide other compensation to you. If we credit, refund, or provide other compensation to you to settle a disputed charge, you agree that the dispute is fully and finally resolved and not subject to further proceedings for any reason.
Your billing period for Service begins when you activate your phone and/or SIM card on our website or by making the request to a Twigby Mobile representative using our live chat service, ticket system, or electronic mail. When Twigby Mobile ships the order containing the phone and/or SIM card ordered, you will be sent an email to notify you of the shipment. Service must be activated, and billing started within thirty (30) days of the date in the email. If this is not completed within that period, it is activated for you, from which time you are responsible for all billing and other activity which are not refundable. If a request to transfer a phone number from a previous provider was included in your order, that request will be submitted at the time Service is activated. Twigby Mobile is not responsible or liable for any complications that may arise from the phone number transfer request being submitted or Service being activated.
THIRD PARTY CHARGES
We are not responsible or liable for any charges, fees, or other monies due relating to the use of applications (“Apps”), products, or services that came preloaded or were downloaded later to your device with or without your knowledge. Twigby Mobile is not responsible or liable for any negative result that may stem from the use of any Apps, products, or services produced by a third party, regardless of how it was provided, presented, or made available to you. You must contact the third party directly regarding any issue.
PAYMENTS AND CREDITS
All accounts require a valid payment method and enrollment in autopay. Payments are automatically collected from the payment method marked as primary on the account. If the primary method of payment fails, all payment methods on file may be used to satisfy the amount due. Twigby Mobile is not responsible for any payment that was not automatically collected from the payment method(s) on file and may have resulted in temporary suspension or permanent disconnection of service, which may include the loss of a phone number.
Twigby Mobile may offer referrals and other promotional or non-promotional credits from time to time. These credits are limited to one use per account unless otherwise noted. Credits are not guaranteed to be applied by a specific date or within a specific period. You are responsible for all balances due at the time they are due. Twigby Mobile reserves the right to cancel, reverse, or not apply credits to an account for any reason. Reversal of credits will result in a past due account balance that is collected from the payment method(s) on file without notice. If referral information or a promotional code is not included or is not valid at the time the account was created or when an order is submitted, the credit will not be applied to the account(s). Promotional credits or offers and discounted sales pricing do not extend to replacement phone or SIM card purchases. Line must be active with a Twigby Mobile SIM card to receive promotional offers and/or credits.
FINANCING ARRANGMENTS
As a subscriber and/or as a device purchaser, you may be able to finance your purchase. That financing can come from a third party that you, as a consumer, may find independently from Twigby Mobile or you may be eligible to finance your purchase with our preferred lender, PayPal. While Twigby Mobile maintains its relationship with PayPal, Twigby Mobile will strive to enable links and other features in the purchase process that significantly eases the difficulty of financing transactions as a courtesy to our subscribers. However, just like any independent financing arrangement that you may enter, any borrowing by our subscribers from PayPal is based on your relationship with PayPal and that Twigby Mobile has no responsibility for or ability to approve, review, reject, edit, or mediate that financing transaction in any way. Your arrangement with PayPal will be entirely dictated by the terms you agree to with PayPal. We encourage you to completely understand their terms of services and any loan repayment details.
SERVICE REFUNDS
Twigby Mobile offers a full refund, excluding shipping fees and any incidental charges applied to the account, when cancellation is processed within the first 30 days of service following activation except when any term of this Agreement is violated. The 30-day period begins when you begin paying for service, which is the date on which billing is started. To be eligible for a satisfaction refund, it must be requested in writing within ten (10) days after the date service is cancelled.
If you are porting your phone number to another carrier, your service will not be cancelled until the porting process is complete and the phone number is no longer active with Twigby Mobile. Twigby Mobile recommends submitting port requests to the other provider at least four (4) business days prior to the last day of your billing period. Additional time must be allowed if incorrect information is provided to the new provider or if the new provider is a landline phone service provider. If you are not porting your phone number, you must request cancellation of service as outlined in ‘Customer Requested Cancellation’ section of this agreement. When service is cancelled, the email address (or username) on your Twigby Mobile account will be sent a message confirming service has been cancelled. If you do not receive that message, then your service has not been cancelled. Regardless of whether service is used or not, there are costs associated with keeping a phone number active. The process of billing an account for monthly charges to cover these costs is automated and scheduled for a specific time. If service is active at that time, the account will be billed for these nonrefundable charges.
You are responsible for all charges billed to your account prior to service cancellation. Service refunds are not issued until all phones and SIM cards purchased in conjunction with the service are returned by following the policy for Returns/Exchanges/Warranty as described in that section of our policies and terms.
11. DISCONNECTION AND TERMINATION OF SERVICE
We reserve the right to suspend, block or cancel your Service and access to the website or any other website we operate, or to our Service at any time if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated this Agreement, Terms of Service, or any of our rules or policies, or for any other reason in our sole discretion.
Service may be suspended or permanently terminated without notice if Twigby Mobile's agreement with the underlying wireless service carrier is terminated for any reason. The Subscriber waives all claims against Twigby Mobile, its officers, employees, or customers.
If we cancel your Service, your account will be deactivated, you will lose your phone number, and we will assess you a termination charge equal to the balance on your account, which is not refundable. You will be responsible for all charges and fees prior to the termination of Service as well as any usage that occurred prior to cancellation but billed after the termination of Service.
ACCOUNT SUSPENSION FOR NON-PAYMENT
If we have attempted to charge your registered payment method for a charge that we deem is authorized and valid under this Agreement, and the credit/debit card company withholds such payment, we reserve the right to suspend access to our Service until payment is received. If payment is not received within 28 days from the original due date, Service will be moved from a state of temporary suspension to permanent cancellation and the phone number will be lost.
CREDIT CARD DISPUTE
We strongly recommend contacting us before filing a dispute regarding a charge from Twigby Mobile. If a dispute is filed with a financial institution that involves a payment for products or services provided by Twigby Mobile, we reserve the right to block, suspend, or cancel Service until the issue is resolved and the disputed balance, along with fees charged by Twigby Mobile, is paid in full. If a dispute claims or suggests that Twigby Mobile did not process a requested cancellation of Service, Twigby Mobile may interpret it as a request to immediately cancel Service and cease further charges from accruing to the account or any other account that is linked to the same credit or debit card. Twigby Mobile may also take actions to block the activation of new Service.
Twigby Mobile will charge a fee of $30 for each credit card dispute filed. If details of the dispute suggest fraud or improper or incorrect charges, Twigby Mobile may act by suspending, blocking, cancelling, or deactivating Service and reporting any equipment used in conjunction with Service as lost or stolen to protect its business operations. You will continue to be liable for the balance of the account, which is not refundable and may be referred to an outside agency for collection. In the event of a past due balance, repeated account suspensions, or cancellations for non-payment, we may, without notice, use any method necessary to collect the balance due and require additional pre-payment of funds to continue using or start new Service. If Twigby Mobile determines, in its sole discretion, that you have service or are connected in any way to a different account, Twigby Mobile may suspend, block, cancel, or deactivate Service on that account and require payment of all amounts due before restoring service.
LOST OR STOLEN DEVICE
If your device is lost or stolen, you are responsible for all charges stemming from the use of the device. You can suspend your device by logging into your account on our website and accessing “Line Settings” in the “Account Settings” menu. The option to suspend a phone number does not cancel or stop billing for services. You remain responsible for all monthly charges and fees incurred while a phone is suspended.
CUSTOMER REQUESTED CANCELLATION
If you wish to cancel your Service at any time, please contact our customer support department by utilizing our live chat service. Requests to cancel Service using any other method may be rejected. When your Service is cancelled, a cancellation confirmation notice is sent to the email address on file for your account. If the confirmation message is not received, then Service is still active. You are responsible for all usage and charges prior to Twigby Mobile processing the request for cancellation. These charges are not refundable.
12. FRAUD AND HIGH-RISK
We reserve the right to label or deem any account or pending order as Fraudulent or High Risk at the sole discretion of Twigby Mobile. The determination can be for any reason deemed proper by us and may include the profile, behavior, or history of a customer, potential customer, or an order. Further if a connection is made by Twigby Mobile between the order or account and other accounts with a deemed history of fraudulent or delinquent activity, then the target customer or order can be likewise deemed high-risk. Once an account or order is deemed as possibly fraudulent, purchased with payment device that is likely fraudulent, or otherwise high-risk, Twigby Mobile reserves the right to cancel the service and/or any pending orders. This may result in the loss of service and phone numbers.
13. TAXES, FEES, AND SURCHARGES
You agree to pay all federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and other assessments that we are required by law to collect and remit to the government on the Services we provide to you... You agree to pay all surcharges ("Surcharges") that may be imposed by Twigby Mobile to help defray costs imposed on us, which may include, but are not limited to: cost recovery for Federal Universal Service, various regulatory charges, Twigby Mobile administrative charges, gross receipts charges, certain taxes imposed on Twigby Mobile, and other charges for the costs we incur as described or itemized on your bill. The number and type of taxes, fees, and Surcharges may vary depending upon the location of the billing address and can change over time without notice.
If you are claiming any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid exemption certificate and allow up to thirty (30) days to validate and process. Tax exemptions will not be applied retroactively.
14. ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by you. You may not use Service in any manner, to provide a telephone, wireless communication, or similar service to anyone else. We may, however, upon five (5) days’ written notice to you, assign all our rights, duties, and obligations hereunder to another organization or wireless service provider.
15. YOUR PRIVACY
We have a duty under federal law to protect the confidentiality of information about the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, and amount of your use of our Services, together with similar information on your bills. However, this privacy does not include your name, address, and wireless phone number. Except as provided in this Agreement, we will not intentionally share personal information about you without your permission. We may use and share information about you (a) to provide our goods or services; (b) so others can provide goods or services to us on your behalf; (c) so we or any of our affiliates can communicate with you about goods or services related to the ones you already receive; and (d) in response to written subpoenas by authorized law enforcement requiring the release of any and/or all usage details to anyone other than you. You are the only person able to make changes and/or discuss your account(s) with us. You may need to provide us, in writing, with authorized individuals, such as family members or authorized business affiliates, who may obtain certain information regarding your account. We do not publish directories of our members' phone numbers and therefore, you will not receive a telephone directory from us. We do not provide or sell our members' phone numbers to third parties for listings in directories or for telemarketing purposes.
The subscriber understands that Twigby Mobile cannot guarantee the security of wireless transmissions and will not be liable for any lack of security relating to the use of the Service.
16. WAIVER
No failure on our part to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, including your Service Plan, Policies on our website, and the published Rates and Charges, which are part of this Agreement, contain the sale and entire Agreement between you and us. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the parties hereto or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
18. ARBITRATION/WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS
Most customer concerns or disputes can be resolved through our customer support representatives. However, if either of us has an issue which cannot be resolved without third-party intervention, you, and we both agree to submit to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. This means that all disputes arising from or relating in any way to your Services, whether under these Terms & Conditions or not, will be resolved through arbitration, not in court or through judge or jury. Moreover, to the fullest extent allowed by law, both of us agree to waive any rights to pursue a claim arising from or relating to these Terms & Conditions or the Services as a class action; that is, you or we will not join a claim with the claim of any other person or entity or pursue a claim on behalf of any other person or entity. The arbitration shall take place in Rutherford County, Tennessee. The waivers in this section continue in force and effect after the termination of this Agreement. Only actions relating to failure to timely pay billed charges, such as service charges and related fees and taxes (collection claims), may be brought in a court; provided that all such actions will be brought in small claims or another court with jurisdiction; and further provided that if any counterclaims or claims unrelated to collection are asserted in the action by any party, then the case shall be transferred to arbitration.
19. WI-FI CALLING
Wi-Fi Calling allows you to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi connection. To use Wi-Fi Calling, you must first activate HD Voice on your smartphone, followed by accepting the Terms and Conditions and entering the U.S. address where you want emergency service sent if you call 911. It is especially important that you update your 911 address (which can be done at any time through your device settings) whenever you change your location, since this is the location that will be given to emergency services when you dial 911. You must also have access to the Internet through your device's Wi-Fi connection. If you lose your Wi-Fi connection while on a call, your call may drop. You can disable Wi-Fi Calling by going to Settings and toggling it off.
Any Wi-Fi call made to a U.S. number will be treated as a domestic call, no matter where the call originates. Any Wi-Fi call made to a non-U.S. number will be treated as an international call and subject to any restrictions on international calling.
WARNING – IMPORTANT EMERGENCY 911 CALL LIMITATIONS
When calling 911, always tell the operator where you are. Your 911 call will go over Wi-Fi only if the cellular network is unavailable. It is especially important that you update your 911 address (which can be done at any time through your device settings) whenever you change your location, since this is the location that will be given to emergency responders when you dial 911. 911 calls made over Wi-Fi may be delayed or unsuccessful (for example, if the 911 system does not recognize the address, electrical power is out, or your Wi-Fi connection is not working).

Please contact us to make such a request. When undertaking projects with other companies, we provide access to customer information with an understanding that our business partners will also treat the information with respect for privacy concerns.

Twigby Mobile Internet Transparency Disclosures, as of 6/01/2019
Back to Top
1. Broadband Internet Access Services Description.
Twigby Mobile provides broadband Internet access services to homes, businesses, and mobile devices using 2G, 3G, and 4G wireless technologies. The technologies, prices, and speeds we can offer for mobile or fixed wireless services will depend on where you are located in the partner network when you are using data service. To learn the details of the services we offer to your address for fixed – or “home” – Internet service as well as for mobile nationwide, see our website, at https://www.twigby.com/page/coverage. You can also send us a message or use “Chat” on our website. The prices and speeds for mobile wireless service will also depend on the plan you select and account settings. Available plans can be found here: https://www.twigby.com/page/howitworks. Note that all of our plans may limit your speed, per the selected rate plan, until you reach your high-speed data threshold. Full details on our services and limitations will be found in the Twigby Mobile Service Terms and Conditions governing your service, on our website here: https://www.twigby.com/page/policiesandterms
2. Limitations of Wireless Internet Services.
Wireless Internet access is provided on a best efforts basis. We will provide service at the speed capabilities of your plan and service technology, subject to limitations inherent in the service technology and other factors beyond our control. Factors affecting speed include: your distance from our cell tower or switching center, network congestion, atmospheric conditions such as rain, vegetation, the equipment you use, speeds of the websites you visit.
3. Real-time Applications.
Subject to the foregoing limitations of wireless services and the speeds offered in the service plan you choose, our services are suitable for most or all real-time applications, including web surfing, movies, gaming, voice over IP, and music. 4G service can provide the fastest data services and will generally support all real time applications. Occasionally, at times of peak network usage, some applications may run more slowly than usual. 3G service may not satisfactorily support video streaming or certain gaming applications well on partner networks. If your access is limited to 2G service only real time applications that do not require the fastest speeds will work. Because of our data thresholds, heavy use of streaming or gaming applications may slow your service to a speed that does not support those applications well, if you reach the threshold in a given day.
4. Network and Congestion Management.
Twigby Mobile manages its service with one goal: to deliver the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its members based on the plans selected. High-speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited and must be shared by all users that rely on our partners’ networks. The partners management of those networks is essential as Twigby Mobile works to promote the use and enjoyment of the Internet by all of its members. The company and its partners use reasonable network management practices consistent with industry standards and regulations. These practices do not discriminate among content or websites. When a cell site experiences high demand, data speeds for users on that site may be slower for all applications until traffic levels return to normal.
5. Non-Discrimination.
Twigby Mobile is committed to providing all of its members with the best online experience possible. Twigby Mobile does not inhibit the ability of its members to access the Internet through its wireless broadband services. Twigby Mobile permits the use of its broadband services for browsing the Internet, using email, downloading and uploading content via the Internet, accessing and using corporate email and/or corporate business applications associated with its members’ places of employment and other uses that are lawful and not harmful to the network or others.
6. Device Attachment Rules.
All phones and devices connecting members to carrier's network must be provided by Twigby Mobile or be technically compatible with and not harmful to the network of our partner. Compatible with Twigby Mobile's partner network can be found at its retail website at https://www.twigby.com/page/byod. Twigby Mobile is not responsible for the compatibility, suitability or functionality of any equipment that is provided by the member or any third party. If any such equipment harms our network or degrades the service of other users, the member may be required to disconnect the device and, in some cases, we may suspend or terminate service to members that in our sole judgment are causing or contributing to harm.
7. Acceptable Use Policies.
Your use of our Internet access services is subject to an acceptable use policy (“AUP”). The AUP can be found within our Terms and Conditions on our website here: https://www.twigby.com/page/policiesandterms In general, the AUP prohibits activities that are unlawful or harmful to Twigby Mobile, its network partners, or its members, whether those activities are initiated by you or are directed against you by third parties, such as spam or denial of service attacks.
8. Security and Privacy.
a. Privacy Policy. Members may access our privacy policies via our website at https://www.twigby.com/page/policiesandterms
b. Network Management and Security. In order to maintain and improve our overall service levels for members, we or our network partner may measure and monitor network performance and the performance of your Internet connection. We may suspend or terminate service to members that in our sole judgment harm the network or other users.
c. Third Party Content and Services. We are not responsible for the information, content, applications or services provided by others. Before you access, use, link to or download any service or application on your computer or wireless device, you should review our associated terms of service and privacy policy. We also recommend that all members install, use, and keep up to date applications to protect their devices from viruses and malware.
d. Law Enforcement and Copyrights. Upon receipt of a reasonable request for information from law enforcement, we will cooperate as required or allowed by law. In the event of actual or alleged violations of copyright, we may inspect network and member traffic and will comply with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In some cases, we may suspend or terminate service to members who in our sole judgment are repeat copyright infringers.

Return, Exchange and Warranty Policy
While issues with Twigby Mobile phones are uncommon, we know that occasionally things don’t always work out as expected. For this reason, Twigby Mobile has designed a comprehensive program for our return, exchange and warranty policies.
To receive a full refund due to a return, exchange or warranty claim, the phone must be in its original condition and accompanied by all components. This means there cannot be any minor cosmetic wear such as scratches (of any measure) on the screen or slight imperfections on the sides and/or back. Missing items, scratches, imperfections or damage will reduce and could eliminate the amount of the refund. If the phone or components are deemed by Twigby Mobile to not be in their original condition, a non-refundable fee will be charged that may equal the full purchase price of the phone. Once received, returns are typically processed within 5 business days. Upon request, Twigby Mobile will return a non-refundable phone and apply a $15 non-refundable shipping fee. If components are damaged or missing upon Twigby Mobile's receipt of the phone, the following refund reductions will apply:
1. Battery: $20
2. Charger: $15
3. USB Cable: $10
4. Battery Door (if removable): $15
5. SIM Card: $5
6. Packaging (box): $5
If a phone purchased from Twigby Mobile is found unsatisfactory and has less than 100 minutes of use, it can be returned within 14 days of receipt date for a full refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping). The phone and all included components must be in their original condition as outlined above. Twigby Mobile does not cover the costs associated with returning the phone back to us. Upon request, we will provide a prepaid shipping label to return the phone for $15.
ACCESSORY RETURNS
Due to Twigby Mobile's extremely low prices on accessories, there are no warranties or exchanges. Accessories can only be returned in conjunction with a 30-day satisfaction cancellation of service. Accessory must be unused and not removed from packaging to be eligible for a refund.
PHONE EXCHANGES
A phone can be exchanged for a different model within 30 days of receipt date for a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping) with a non-refundable exchange fee, which is the greater of $15 or 15% of purchase price. To exchange a phone, the original phone that is being exchanged must include all included components and be in the original condition. This means there cannot be any minor cosmetic wear such as scratches (of any measure) on the screen or slight imperfections on the sides and/or back. Missing items, scratches, imperfections or damage will reduce and could eliminate the amount of the refund for the original phone.
PHONE WARRANTY
NEW PHONE WARRANTY PERIOD:
One year from purchase date. Warranty is directly with Twigby Mobile and not the manufacturer.*
CERTIFIED/PREVIOUSLY OWNED PHONE WARRANTY PERIOD:
60 days from purchase date. Warranty is directly with Twigby Mobile and not the manufacturer.*
Standard Warranty
Twigby Mobile will evaluate the phone upon receipt. If the phone is found to be in warrantable condition, Twigby Mobile will send the phone to the specified vendor in order to facilitate the warranty. When the phone is returned or replaced by the vendor, which may take 3-5 weeks, Twigby Mobile will inspect and verify the problem is resolved. If resolved, Twigby Mobile will return the phone for use. Twigby Mobile cannot guarantee that the phone received back will be the same exact phone that was sent in. Many times, the initial phone cannot be fixed, and a replacement is issued. For this reason, please make sure that all data such as contacts and pictures are backed up accordingly. If the phone is found to be NO TROUBLE FOUND (NTF), Twigby Mobile will return the phone and charge a $15 non-refundable NTF fee. If the phone is found to have NON-WARRANTABLE damage such as physical abuse, liquid damage, modified software, etc., the phone can be returned, upon request, for a $15 non-refundable shipping fee.

Fast Exchange Warranty
The quickest and easiest way to manage a warranty claim is Twigby Mobile's Fast Exchange Warranty. Simply pay a $30 Fast Exchange fee along with the cost of the replacement phone. Twigby Mobile will ship the replacement phone so the user will not be without a phone to use during the warranty process. The defective phone must be returned to Twigby Mobile using the return label provided within 10 days of return label email. If not received within 20 days, no refund will be processed for the defective phone. If the defective phone is found to be in warrantable condition, Twigby Mobile will refund the purchase price of the original phone to the credit or debit card on file. The $30 fee is waived during the first 30 days of the warranty period.
If the defective phone is found to have NON-WARRANTABLE damage such as physical abuse, liquid damage, modified software, etc., the cost of the defective phone is not refunded. If there is NO TROUBLE FOUND (NTF) with the phone, Twigby Mobile will charge a $15 non-refundable NTF fee.

SIM CARDS
Due to Twigby Mobile's extremely low price of SIM cards, there are no warranties or exchanges. If a SIM card was purchased in conjunction with obtaining service, it must be returned before a 30-day satisfaction guarantee refund will be processed.
