Be sure to pass the warning on to family and friends.

Wow!....this is my first post....(hehe). But I'm glad I signed up. I got caught up in this too.....Yeah...I know....should have read the fine print. I just got off the phone with Sprint. Thumbplay haven't billed my account yet and hopefully I caught it just in time. Thanks to all for posting this information. Btw....I'm enjoying my TP
