I was so shocked and my heart stopped for a second but nothing came of it. Wonder how much you need to go over for Sprint to say something.
So I take it if I keep it at around 5-7 gigs per month I should be OK? I have three phones on my account and my girlfriend and brother never use data so seems fair enough to me that I get a little extra.

I recently have been experiencing NO EVDO signal from my home location tower. Everywhere else I go EVDO works fine. I have talked to Sprint tech support everyday for the past month and they kept having me reset my TP2's data by doing a "data restore". I told them that it's not my phone because EVDO works everywhere else except when i'm at home on the tower nearest to where i live. They tested the tower and initially told me the tower tested fine. Then a couple days later they said it tested bad and they put in a trouble ticket. Sprint said it would be fixed in apx 24 to 48 hours but I still have no data and it's been several days. my phone will show EV in the upper tashbar but as soon as i try to use any app the uses a data connection my phone immediately switches to 1x. I suspect Sprint has blocked EVDO at the tower where I live. On one of the phone calls to Sprint tech support, i overheard the techs reading notes on my account and she said "... EVDO blocked... bla bla bla." When i asked what she was talking about she changed the subject and made it sound like she was writing in the trouble ticket. Why would the tech use the term "blocked" if she was writing a trouble ticket for a customer experiencing trouble with evdo signal while at home only????
No customer support rep has mentioned anything about excessive data usage on my account yet but this makes me wonder what's really going on. After complaining to sprint cust support everyday for the past month, I finally have evdo working again on my TP2. It's actually much faster than it was before.
