Inactive Local Telephone Number Fees

When more than 10% of the total local numbers on your account are reserved for future use (inactive), the following monthly fee will be charged to your account for each inactive phone number in excess of 10%. (Transferring numbers are not included in the total count of local numbers until the transfer request is complete.)

• U.S. accounts: USD $1.00 per TN
• Canada accounts: CAD $1.00 per TN

Example: If your account has 80 total local numbers (not including transferring numbers), up to 8 numbers can be inactive without incurring additional charges. Any inactive numbers in excess of 8 (10%) will incur a monthly fee per number.
