• The following charges cannot be included towards the expenditure target: Telecom Paging, Telecom Cellular, Telecom National 0800, Telecom Mobile Radio, Netway Communications (except Smartifax), International Leased Circuits and Telecom Directories (other than those charges billed on the main monthly Telecom account).
