About V CAST Music

1. What is V CAST Music? V CAST Music is the name for the Verizon Wireless mobile music service available through Get It Now®. Transform your wireless phone into a portable music player by syncing music you already own from your PC and/or expanding your collection by purchasing new songs or albums from the Verizon Wireless music catalog via your phone or a PC. Take both your calls and music with you whenever you want, wherever you go.
2. What is required to use V CAST Music? To listen to music on your phone:
   A Verizon Wireless V CAST Music capable phone is needed. Check with your sales representative or online at www.verizonwireless.com for the latest V CAST Music capable phones. You must be within the V CAST Coverage Area to manage alerts, browse, preview, purchase and download music to your phone. These activities will use airtime that will be deducted from your voice calling plan's monthly anytime minute allowance or charged at the applicable per-minute rate unless you have a V CAST VPak subscription or are a Prepay subscriber.

4. What does it mean when a song or album title is followed by the word "EXPLICIT"? The "EXPLICIT" label is used by many record companies to notify consumers and retailers that certain albums and songs may contain strong language or depictions of violence, sex or substance abuse. V CAST Music content labeled by record companies as "EXPLICIT" is also labeled as such in the V CAST Music store. Please note that not all record companies use this label and not all songs or albums with potentially offensive lyrics have warning labels. Parental discretion is advised when previewing or purchasing content labeled as "EXPLICIT."
5. What can I do to block access to music labeled "EXPLICIT"? There is currently no way to block access only to music labeled "EXPLICIT," but you may block access to the entire V CAST Music catalog at any time by calling Customer Care at 800-922-0204 (or *611 from your Verizon Wireless phone) and requesting that a V CAST Music block be put on your account. This will prevent access to the V CAST Music catalog from the handset and the PC. Account holders with multiple lines associated with their accounts (e.g. on a FamilyShare plan) may choose to block all lines or only specified lines on their accounts. Once added, the block may be removed only at the request of the account holder.
6. How much do songs on V CAST Music cost? Typically, each track may be purchased via V CAST Music capable devices at $1.99 each or you may choose to purchase via the V CAST Music online store for $0.99 per track. The price for each song you select to purchase is presented on your phone's screen before you purchase. You'll receive two copies of the song when purchased from your phone: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC.
