Hi,

I just got my new cingular phone yesterday ( I am a new customer ) and I notice a charge of $93.38 on my cingular online account. I have the GSM Nation 450 plan.

I just wanted to know if this is a mistake or am I charged activation and plan fees for a month and half or something. Any clarification is welcome.

Also if someone could tell me how to find out how many minutes I have used currently, apart from the online account.

Thanks
mojama20.

$36 activation fee, partial month + 1 month in advance. Correct.

To check minutes, dial *646# on your cell, you get a free sms with your usage.

Some of the older accounts do arrears billing there, true, and everyone that's migrating from AWS stays on arrears billing. Most folks, tho, are on advanced billing.
