In plain English
A service plan includes some telecom use in its normal price. If a call, message, data use, or similar use falls outside what the plan includes, it is charged separately. That separate fee is an out-of-bundle charge.
In context
Here, the expression labels a fee for telecommunications use that the plan or package did not include.
- Situation
- Reading telecom bills, usage, overage, credits, contract period, and payment status
- What it communicates
- labels a charge for usage not covered by the plan bundle.
Meaning limits
By itself, the term does not say how much usage occurred or how the fee was calculated.
Examples
“His package included evening calls, but the daytime call created an out-of-bundle charge.”
“The bill showed an out-of-bundle charge for picture messages sent after the monthly allowance had been used.”
