I set my phone up to PAM, I haven't been able to find the answer to One question. Will I be billed for usage? Sprint tells me that I can't use my PAM and therefore has no idea how much, the best they can do is tell me the cost for overage on the internet package is 5 cents a mb. If any one can let me know i would really appreciate it.

Not sure why we needed to another thread on this subject, but no one knows...... Some say because Sprint says it does not work on the phone and therefore that person thinks well they said it will not work so you would not get billed...

I do know for a fact that Sprint has a note that PAM is NOT part of a Everything Plan.
People on here have stated they have been using it for a long time with no extra $$ wanted...

But here is my thought and just another reason WHY I don't do it....
If anyone who has Sprint logs into the website or checks their usage from their phones..... You will find that Sprint has been showing the web KB usage... And if you're using heavy amount of that its going to be seen and at some point they are probably going to charge for it..

There have been reports all over, about wireless companies charging people for over using their KB's from the PAM usage.
Keep in mind yes it's called EVERYTHING plan and you have unlimited usage... BUT in real life there is a limit on the web browsing... just no one will every hit it if you're just using the web browser only... Connecting it too a laptop and using a normal browser is going to use HUGE amounts of KB...

Right now its a damned if you do - damned if you don't... Completely 50/50 chance..... Many say no but others will say different...

I have been using mine as a PAM for a while now and I think I have figured it out. My service has unlimited internet and data, which in theory should give me a PAM account. Or at least that's what I think. I have not had any extra charges on my bill.
