Reply With QuotePTT is only if you use it. For the data at .35cent per day, it is whether you use it or not. So, 100days = 35.00 and so on...
Wait.. There are conflicting statements here...Originally Posted by DK888
From Odyssey's quote of the Boost flier, it's pretty clear that you will be charged $0.35/day no matter if you use it or not:"The Boost Wireless Web fee is charged daily regardless of usage."But Odyssey's summary of:"Kinda like the $1 PTT, it cost a $1 for the whole day, but only for the days you use it....is not the same as the Boost statement.
The Boost website is not clear on this point:(from http://www.boostmobile.com/plans/pay...ls_alerts.html)So... the root question that I think people are looking for the answer to is:
WIRELESS WEB
Your Boost Mobile phone is a mobile Internet source with fast, convenient access. To enable this feature, you must call Boost™ Customer Care directly from your phone by dialing 611.
* Checking your Hotmail® account
* Find movie times or the hottest dance clubs near you
* Getting the latest sports scores on ESPN
* $0.35 a day for unlimited access"If I use Boost Wireless Web for 100 days out of a 365 day year, would I have paid $35 (100 * $0.35) or $127.75 (365 * $0.35) across that year?"

??? Right, so if I activate my phone today, and for the next calendar year I only use the web access 100 days, I will have paid $127.75 (365 * $0.35) across that year. It may be better to look at this as appx $10.65/month no matter what the usage.
When you agreed with Odyssey, it looked like you were saying that Boost will NOT charge you for the days you do NOT use web access.

so what kind of speed do you get with this service? how fast does a webpage load up? like mp3car or espn?

OOPS!
My mistake...I did state that before
Nevermind, seems I am wrong. It is 35 cents a day. 365 x .35 = 127.75

Going back through the thread, it looks like people are talking about 12kbps.. slower than two generations ago of dialup.
An example of wall-clock time would be that this page we're looking at now is 140K in size, so 140KB/12kbps = 116 seconds.

Yeah I agree, I've tried surfing the web with it on the car and realized that I rather wait to check my mail when I get home. On the other hand, for the app that I'm using it for, I get an SMS txt message to my phone within 12 seconds if my alarm goes off so I guess it depends on what you use it for.
