Question for Boost users regarding data usage

[2conscious]

Thanks for all of the intelligent replies all, I'll go ahead and keep my data usage to a minimum, as we all know it can be shut off at any time, and I really enjoy having a smart phone for 50$/unlimited everything.

However, whenever I'm in need to do some quick browsing, and Opera/Skyfire doesn't cut to the chase, I think I'll be tethering my way there.

Thanks guys.

also if your phone decides to kick the bucket you wont have a warranty to cover it and get it replaced and you'll have to buy a brand new one. one day they will eventually catch on and then kick all unauthorized phones from their network.

Your naive if you think they haven't "caught on" I just put a TP2 on my long standing Boost account after the Mogul, the 8350i, etc. I had before. They KNOW exactly what phone it is. So they themselves "authorized it."

They know this and been knowing this. They added the phone to the network this aint GSM where you just pop in the sim card. In fact theres many sprint and boost employees on this type of forums. Warranty sucks a** and the $ u save every month within two months u can go buy another tp2 on craigs or ebay.

jaja love it when people say warranty sucks. what happens when u goto a car dealership and buy a car without a warranty and then it breaks down, guess what happens? boom repair charges up the nalga,same with car insurance get in an accident what happens? person presses charges and u have to pay full price for a new car. same thing applies to phone insurance something goes wrong u have little or no luck its true that u can buy a new one off ebay or craigs but it may be worse condition than anyone asurion or sprint can give out.
