it was 2 years ago when I got my first PPC, the Mogul. genius enough, I used data without a data plan, and as a result, I got a 1000 dollar bill. I called Telus and "acted dumb." First the customer representative told me there's nothing they can do, but I insisted on talking to the manager or whoever is in charge. They switched me over, and who knew, it worked and they deducted my data usage charge with the condition of adding the 15 unlimited IM addon. Acting dumb works, sometimes.

I assume you were actually tethered and not using a Wireless solution like PDA Net, WMWifiRouter, or HTC Wifi Router?

Sprints bills are so rediculously hard to understand, I would need a phd to figure out if I'm getting charged or not.

What exactly is tethering?

Re: ☢ ☢ ☢ ☢ ☢ [CAUTION] - Tethering Users ☢ ☢ ☢ ☢ ☢
 

It's using your cell phone's internet on your laptop or desktop

So Telus is able to detect this only on TP2?

What about TP1 or Mogul?

Trying to add other questions into the mix to help figure this out...

I'd be curious to know if you were surfing on your computer via tethering or just surfing on your device?
If it was just using your device my wonder changes to whether or not Telus has simply had a billing issue and in that case as long as you were with in your plan then you have an argument.... other wise the fight could be fruitless.
