VZW Am I getting free data?

I had my xv6700 replaced with a Touch Pro -- they added on a data plan saying it was required but I *****ed at them and they said since it was a replacement phone that it was different and that I didn't have to sign on to one (and I'm not now). I was overseas and didn't use my phone most of the summer but since I've returned in the midst of flashing it's dialed for data a few times and surely has transferred at least a few kilobits but I never see data charges on my bill. I thought I would be charged 1.99/MB.

Anyone else in a similar situation with VZW?

well im not too sure with vzw but alltel charges minutes so check them if they go up by a lot, unless you talk a lot it might be hard to see that.

there is no way for u to be given free data access. tech a touch pro does require data access but cust care can make special exceptions for cust in situations like urs to pay per kb. so ur charge would not be 1.99 mb thats for phones only pdas get charged .05 kb. if it was me id req to have data blocked on ur phone bc i have some pretty seriouse overage charges im talking like hundreds of $ in data charges and the cust didnt even know they were using it
