Technical Information

Warranty terms and eligibility can vary by manufacturer. To learn more about specific device coverage, please contact Customer Care at 888-926-2273, or contact the device manufacturer directly.

To unlock your device, please start the request by calling 888-926-2273. If your device is eligible, you will receive an update or unlocking instructions within two business days of approval. In the event your request is not approved, Union Wireless will advise you within two business days as to why the device does not qualify.

To be eligible for unlock, the following criteria must be met:

  • Your account must be current, no past due balance or unpaid balance due.
  • If the device is associated with an inactive account, the balance on the account must be zero.
  • Your device must be paid off in full.
  • Your device must not be reported lost or stolen.
  • You have completed the terms of any service agreement relating to the device purchase, including payment of any applicable early termination fee or outstanding payments from a device-financing program.
  • Union Wireless may request proof of purchase or additional information at its discretion, and certain other exceptions may apply.

  • Internet speed is measured in bits per second (bps). Kilobits per second (Kbps) speed delivers 1000 bits per second, while megabits per second (Mbps) speed delivers 1,000,000 bits per second.
  • Download speed is measured by how long it takes for your computer to access a webpage from a server. Downloading documents, purchasing songs, and streaming videos are all activities that utilize your download speed. It is also important to have a fast download speed when multiple people are using the internet at the same time.
  • Upload speed is measured by how long it takes for your computer to send information to another computer or internet server. Posting videos, playing online games, and using video chat are all activities that utilize your upload speed. A faster upload speed means less lag when communicating with others online.

  • Bluetooth is often used to connect devices like your phone to a wireless headset or car stereo. Bluetooth is a wireless communication standard used to transmit data or information over short distances.
  • Bluetooth operates on radio frequencies that are designed for a relatively short range. This means that you can connect your phone to other devices wirelessly without worrying about interference with other radio frequencies. The short range also means that little power is needed, so having Bluetooth enabled isn't a big drain on battery life. For most devices, the expected range of communication is about 30 feet.
  • The process of connecting two or more Bluetooth devices is referred to as "pairing". In order to pair, you might have to put both your phone and the other device into "pairing mode." For many devices, this option is enabled by default. Devices in "pairing mode" will search for nearby devices and either try to pair with them automatically or give you the option to select a nearby device from a list.
  • In some cases, a PIN is required to connect devices. This helps prevent devices from connecting automatically if you don't want them to. If your device has a required PIN by default, it will be provided in the device's user guide or other documentation.
  • For more information on using Bluetooth with your phone, check the handset manufacturer’s website.

Battery Backup Info

Union home phone service provides Emergency 911 services. If you ever need to access emergency services (fire, police or ambulance) just dial 911 on your phone and your call will be routed directly to the nearest public-safety operator. Emergency services will be able to find you because your phone number and address are electronically routed to the 911 operator the moment your call goes through.

The voice service provided through a fiber optic network, or fixed wireless network, requires the electric power in your home to make a phone call. During a power outage at your home, a backup power source, such as a generator or battery backup, is required to make any calls, including emergency calls to 911. If your Union service uses fiber optic network and/or fixed wireless network, your phone equipment will not operate in the event of a power outage at your home without a backup power resource. The only way to maintain the ability to use your phone, if you have fiber optic network and/or fixed wireless network services, is by using some form of backup power.

  • Nominal output voltage: 12V DC
  • Nominal input voltage: 100V AC – 240V AC
  • Battery type: Sealed, Maintenance Free Lead-Acid Battery

The backup battery can be safely stored between: 5°F – 113°F (-15 – 45°C).

Important note: Storing the backup battery above 77°F (25°C) will significantly reduce the life of the battery.

Testing and monitoring instructions for the battery are located on the manufacturer’s website. Refer to the detailed instructions from the online user manual to perform the following:.

  • Proper use, storage, and care: to ensure that it will work as needed during a power outage
  • Periodically test your backup battery unit to verify that the unit is operational and in good condition
  • Monitoring the status of the backup battery and ensuring that the battery is charging normally
  • Monitor the condition of your modem battery at least twice a year

Cordless telephones connected to the telephone line that require electricity to operate will not work without electric power. Accordingly, to maintain power to telephone line devices other than your Union Wireless issued modem, you must have batteries compatible with those devices that would allow them to function for a period of time without electricity to your residence.

For our customer’s convenience, Union offers two purchase options:

    • Unit 1, Current Price: $92 - CyberPower Backup Battery, 8 hours standby time and approximately 5 hours talk time, North America, Indoor UPS 12V DC, 7.2AH, 36W, 7 pin power connectors.

  • Unit 2, Current Price: $194 - CyberPower Backup Battery, 24-hours standby time and approximately 14 hours talk time, North America, Indoor 12V DC UPS, 20AH, 30W, IEC320 C7 2-Prong Cord.

You may choose to purchase a backup battery from Union or any other source. Your purchase should be an American standard, regular backup battery or UPS system, with an output voltage of 12V DC. You have the choice to purchase your backup battery solution from online and local consumer electronics retailers.

Battery backups units sold by Union are not intended to provide power to any services other than voice. Home security systems, medical monitoring devices, cordless telephones, and other telephony equipment that require electricity to operate will not work in a power outage. Your Union backup battery cannot be used to power these devices.

To maintain power to telecommunications devices other than your Union issued modem, you must have battery backup compatible with those devices that would allow them to function without electricity to your residence. You are responsible for providing and installing battery backup for your cordless telephone and other telecommunications devices and ensure that they operate during a power outage.

During a power outage, you can maximize the battery power of backup battery by not making unnecessary calls, or by limiting the duration of any calls you make or receive. If your home is vulnerable to extended power outages, you may purchase additional backup battery units to provide additional backup power.

Content Filtering & Parental Controls

As an internet service provider, Union Wireless provides consumers with internet access through mobile and broadband services. This allows our customers to access the internet on devices such as personal computers, smartphones, tablets, as well as many other devices.

Content filtering, in the most general sense, involves using a software or a hardware-based solution to prevent access to certain online items.

Content Filtering software, also called Parental Control software, provides a tool to monitor, control, block, and restrict access to harmful material for minors. Additionally, services may also allow customers to:

  • Monitor social media usage
  • Set restrictions on what personal information may be shared
  • Set limits on internet usage such as time-of-day and length-of-use restrictions

You can learn more about what content filtering options are available and read expert reviews at websites such as PC Magazine, CNET, Digital Trends, and many others.

Some popular options for PC-based content filtering available are:

  • Bark
  • Mobicip
  • Net Nanny
  • OpenDNS
  • Qustodio

Also, you can find apps and reviews for all the mentioned content filtering available on the Apple iTunes App store and Google Play Store.

Unlimited 55+ plan eligibility is determined through valid government-issued identification, such as a Driver’s License or Military ID.

Billing & Fees

A bill cycle is the recurring interval of time between billings. Example: Your bill cycle date is the 3rd. This means that on the third of every month, your usage will reset to 0 and your monthly invoice will generate.

Billing cycle dates are determined by the date you sign up for service.

For residential accounts, bills become due around 18 days after the cycle dates.

Your first bill will be higher because it is prorated. We bill from the day you sign up for service to the end of your current bill cycle plus 30 days in advance.

Here is an example of proration:
If your billing cycle date is the 17th and you sign up for service on the 10th with the $30 plan, then you will pay for 7 days plus $30 for the month in advance.

To help you understand what to expect on your bills each month, please review our interactive bill sample below. Click on each link to view an example of each page.

Page 1 and Page 2: The Monthly Summary includes balance information, new charges, and the current month's service charges.

Page 3 and Page 4: The Full Detail statement provides an in-depth look into the services and charges on your account.

Page 5 and on: This section provides information on charge breakdowns, as well as usage details and records.

Law requires Union Wireless to collect surcharges from customers on behalf of local, state, and federal governments. Surcharges vary based on service locations, as well as service types.

Surcharges you may see include:

    • USF - Universal Service Fund Fee: The USF fee is a fee applied to all accounts. This fee is a US government program that provides subsidies for telephone service in areas that may otherwise have difficulty obtaining service, especially in rural and low-income areas. The FCC administrates this fund, and modifies the rates on a regular basis.

    • 911 Surcharge: Union Wireless collects a monthly 911 surcharge on behalf of the local government in your service area. State legislation imposes the amount, and Union Wireless's compliance with these charges is a legal requirement. This surcharge may be a flat-rate or a percentage rate, depending on your local government, and is subject to change at any time.

  • WY Relay Surcharge: The collected funds from the WY Relay surcharge are used to provide telephone access to people who are hearing or speech impaired. This surcharge is collected by Union Wireless and paid to the appropriate state authority.

You can choose or adjust your bill delivery preference in My Union, by emailing custserv@unionwireless.com, or by calling Customer Care at 888-926-2273.

Paperless: When you enroll in Paperless Billing, you will receive email notifications when your bill is available to view and pay online.
