Data Usage question and Samsung i910 question too?

[jillmoorehead]

I was wondering if any of the other pp cards can be used towards your data usage besides the $10 & $25? If so, how does that equal out to in mb's?

I downloaded the Nodata and also opera mini to help save on my data usage, any other ideas to on a better browser or software that works better?

I also used others advice and downloaded the software to make my samsung i910 more user friendly. Can't think of its name at this moment but many said here on the forum said it was a paid software but I downloaded it for free might not be the full version but like it cuz its FREE!

Thanks for any advice in advance!!

Yes, you can use the other cards towards data usage, however, the reason we tell people not to is because of this:

Let's say you are on the TnT1200 plan or Unlimited Plan ($29.95 or $44.95 per month) and you add a $50.00 or $80.00 card to your account. The next month, when your plan is up for renewal, PagePlus will AUTOMATICALLY remove $29.95 or $44.95 from your cash balance and renew your plan out of it, making that cash you just added go for a plan renewal instead of data overage.

There is no way to prevent this. The PagePlus billing system will ALWAYS USE CASH FIRST no matter even if there is a PIN stacked.

So we tell people to ONLY use $10 or $25 PINs because neither PIN is enough to put your cash balance over the $29.95 or $44.95 threshhold and will stop them from using your cash for plan renewals.

Unsure on your other questions, I'm sure someone else will chime in, but I at least wanted to answer this one :)

Hi
What if you are on autopay, will they still renew on the cash balance first? TY

Yes, even if you are on OUR AutoPay, or THEIR AutoPay, it does not matter. The PagePlus billing system, by default, for everyone, no matter what, will use CASH FIRST if it is available.

Which is why we recommend using $10 and $25 cards only for overages.

Sorry :(

Nodata is essential for making sure those pesky auto-update features (sync, weather, etc) do not eat up your balance, and only run when you want them to. I installed Opera Mobile 10 -- it is the best I've found for th Omnia....it appears, though, that Opera is not going to be updating the Win 6.x version. I did not like Mini since it was not as configuratble and did not have Flash. The only quirk I've noticed with Opera Mobile 10 is that sometimes I have to "scroll" up & down to get the text on the page to render completely...
