well if you think about it it does seem like a huge chasty belt to what turns us on. but 5 gb is alot. andi just checked my usage and ive used 2gb a month and im a huge intertet freak, myspace, music, youtube, and yes like many guys porn. i dont think that sprint will keep this shananagin up if they loose what lilttle fame they have. just look at t mobile.

i walked into sprint today and pretty much interrogated the guy that works there! i asked him about the 5gb internet cap, and he said that its not towards the cell internet. its for people that use their internet on there laptops, i know theres a techinical name to refer to the service but i dont remember what it is. SO THE INTERNET CAP IS NOT FOR CELL PHONE USAGE! I REPEAT NOT FOR THE CELL PHOE USAGE!

Yeah, I spent a few hours today (typical Sprint CS) trying to get to the bottom of this. I FINALLY got someone who knew what they were talking about to tell me that this applies to data cards and PAM, but not for standard browsing on the phone.

Well, don't know if this relates or not, but got my e-bill today, and found a extra $100 charge for data... Exactly $100... No major difference in my usage patterns... (about 1.4 gig of data) Will have to wait until daylight hours to check on this in more detail... Anyone else see anything like this?

hey there fellas, well as far as i know, you can always connect ur wifi phone to a hotspot and connect it from there. it wont be PAM and it wont be an air card LOL. So thats my solution. im still gonna keep the PAM plan so if anything happens i will just say i thought i was using it as a modem. i have used 176081 but it says mb....jmmm i was alarmed but now im confused bout the conversion that they use.

I called about an hour ago... I was told it was a billing mistake, and the charge will be taken off... I hope it won't be repeated....
