So.. you want to use data but dont want to pay for it? You can hide that by not going on data and sticking with your wifi.

When you look at the data usage on the sprint site which is in Kb...just count 6 places to the left and that will give you +/- of Gb usage.

example:204784kb is pretty much just about .2gb, you will be amaze on how much data you need to use just to go over 5Gb.

Sprint's website shows your usage in kilobytes. A google search will do the conversion for you:

5 gigabytes = 5 242 880 kilobytes

never assume a smartphone user is that...
