This is actually a problem on the Sprint Network. It took them about 3 months! after I canceled by service back in 2007 to deactivate my data service (after 30 days only 1x) but still free service. Don't really know why but hey what is free is free.

im really liking this. i did everything i could think of to see if i could get it to stop working, (stupid, i know) hard reset, etc.. but the internet keeps chugging along on this thing. thx guys for respomding

Well, it still uses the same vision username and pass. So is doesn't use the esn for validation. Depending on the market, the sprint phones can still use vision when the phone is deactivated due to no payment. In Charlotte area, you can't use it if it is deactivated due to non-payment, but in Denver yo can.

I haven't read the replies in this thread because I am too lazy... but:

I had data for a good 3 months on my phone after my Sprint account was canceled, haha.

I just pulled my old Samsung M610 out and tried the data, and what do you know, it works. It even works at the same time as my mogul. I watched Fox news on both at the same time... Interestingly, the M610 was about 10 seconds ahead of my mogul....

Also, It allowed me to send picture mail from my M610 also, just no calls and SMS.

At least YOU don't get charged for it. I don't use Vision or data on my 6800 but I do use my wifi a lot. My last bill had a 45.00 charge for data useage on it so I called customer service. The CSR told me that on July 28 at 2:30am my phone was connected for 2.5hrs. I told her at that time I was asleep and would not have used data on my phone at that time. She deleted the charges and disabled vision.
Not sure WHY my phone would have woken itself up at that time and connected though.
Just for the heck of it, I tried to connect with my wifi turned off and I get a "Vision" services error message saying I don't have the service so hopefuly no more charges.
