Informative

appreciate the help. i used PIE a few times during my nighttime minutes and then would shut off the send/receive through the manager by turning phone off/then back on. i checked my last bill and didnt see any charges for data or anything like that. my bill was the same.

sidenote: when i first got my phone, i was getting an average of about a day/day and a half battery life (which really bummed me out) but then one night i decided to wipe my phone clean and run the master reset. since then, i have averaged about 3 days a charge. for anyone having battery issues, maybe give this a try. worked wonders for me.

loving my Q.

TO Nelson:
What he means is that whenever he connects to the internet through PIE or whatever other app uses data the PDA Icon and the Data Xfer stays up until he goes into the wireless manager and turns his "phone" off so that it stops sending/recieving data.
I called alltel yesterday and asked about using the data and the rep i talked to said that data is free on nights/weekends because it is using your airtime. Charges will only apply if you go over your actual minutes on the plan. With no data plan, the time you spend on the net is counted against your minutes. For me, i just use data on nights/weekends and i have had no problems yet.
