Rules and regulations
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission
and the Industry Canada regulate PCS telephone
service in their respective countries. It is
important for you, the PCS telephone user, to
observe the applicable regulations when
operating your PCS telephone in either country.
In addition to these U.S. and Canadian federal
regulations, you may be bound also by certain
state, provincial, territorial, and local rules and
regulations, as well as by your PCS carrier’s tariff
(the rates, terms, and conditions of its service). If
you wish to use your PCS telephone in both the
U.S. and Canada, please consult with your
System Operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that your
PCS telephone is a radiotelephone, — i.e., it
combines both wireline technology, as used in
your home or office telephone system, and radio
technology — and that the scope of regulations
and precautions is therefore broader than the
scope of regulations and precautions relating to
wireline-only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set
out below. Please note, however, that these “Rules
and Regulations" and "Safety Precautions” sections
do not constitute legal advice, and are intended
merely for general information purposes. If you
have specific questions, please contact your PCS
carrier (System Operator).
License — If your home system is in the U.S., you
do not require a separate license to operate your
PCS telephone; obtaining a PCS telephone access
number is sufficient to register you as a user. If
your home system is in Canada, a separate license
is required; your carrier will assist you in the
licensing process. If you wish to use your PCS
telephone on both sides of the border, please
contact your PCS carrier (System Operator).
