E911 Policy:

See E911 Policy.

Service Level Commitment:

Press8 Telecom guarantees a service availability of 99.9% of the total applicable time for each month, otherwise a service credit will be provided to the eligible customer.

This service level does not apply to Internet connectivity provided to the customer by a third party, nor the software configuration used in setting up and routing voice calls, and is solely applicable based on the routing and transmitting of voice telephony calls originating and terminating to/from the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

Service availability credit:

In order to receive a service credit, the eligible customer must first open a trouble ticket to report service outage or service affecting issue, and then submit a written request for a credit to Press8 Telecom within 15 business days of opening the said trouble ticket.

Unlimited Use Policy:

Press8 Telecom will periodically monitor and review the call capacities being used on unlimited usage service plans. Unlimited-use extensions are for the sole purpose of connecting a telephone device for use by a single operator. Unlimited-use extensions are limited to 3000 minutes per month which is considered normal phone usage. The use of connecting PBX devices or other telephony equipment that serves more than a single user/operator is prohibited. Press8 Telecom reserves the right to refuse service should such extension exceed (3) concurrent inbound and (1) concurrent outbound telephone call, including, but not limited to the use the telephone extension itself, and features capable of handling such capacities as hunt groups and queues. Only (1) forward is permitted per extension. Call concurrencies are not enforced as a hard limit, and action will only be taken should Press8 Telecom determine that high call concurrencies are due to abusive actions and/or having a service plan not capable of handling its call capacity. In the case of the latter, Press8 Telecom reserves the right to refuse service unless the client upgrades to a service plan suitable for its call volume.

NOTE: For every additional User that is added to a plan, an additional Line is also required.
