Additional Fair Use Terms on Freedom PBX Plans:

Included calls are subject to fair use. Fair use of the upstream Freedom PBX means that you must not use service in an unreasonable or fraudulent manner, or in a way that detrimentally interferes with the integrity of the upstream network.

This service is intended to be used in a way that is consistent with a typical business’ calling usage, according to statistical information known to upstream.

Examples of inconsistent usage patterns include, but are not limited to, using the service in an outbound call center, for telemarketing, or for providing telehealth services.
