Depending on your price plan, either Airtime or Megabyte usage charges will apply. The minutes or megabytes you use browsing in the Get It Now shop for an application and downloading applications are applied to your monthly usage. If you are on a price plan that bills data usage as airtime and you exceed your allowance minutes while browsing and downloading, you will be charged the same rate as voice minutes over your airtime allowance. If you are on a price plan that bills data usage as megabytes, you will be charged for megabyte usage in accordance with your price plan. 

Feedback

Most applications take approximately one minute or .24 Megabytes to download. Application download times and megabytes used will vary based on the application size.

Feedback

Not always. Some applications do not incur airtime or megabyte charges during usage. However, there are some applications that will require your phone to make a network connection for purposes such as retrieving and posting high scores, updating daily horoscopes or playing games against other subscribers. In these instances airtime or megabyte charges are incurred. Applications that incur airtime or megabyte charges during use are denoted in the description of the application on Get It Now. 

Feedback

Applications that were downloaded as subscriptions will be charged airtime or megabytes while being removed (canceled). Applications that were downloaded as purchases do not incur airtime or megabyte charges during removal from the handset.

Disabling an application removes the application from memory, but retains the usage and purchase information. If you only need to free up some memory but want to be able to access the application at a later time, use Disable. To restore a disabled application, just go to "Options", select the application and click "Restore". If your application is a subscription, you continue to be charged the recurring subscription fee while an application is disabled. Removing an application deletes it completely from your phone's memory - in order to restore it, you'd have to download it and pay for it again. Airtime or Megabyte charges (depending on your price plan) apply while removing a subscription application. If you remove a wallpaper application from your handset you may delete all content that was downloaded through that wallpaper application that is stored on your handset. In order to retain the wallpaper for any such application, you must disable rather than remove the wallpaper application.

Feedback

Get It Now downloads are distinguished as a data call to the mobile number 777-000-0000. Currently the only way to differentiate between a Get It Now session and a Mobile Web session is to match the date of the airtime charge to the date of the download displayed in the Service Charges and Credits section of the bill.

Some applications will refer to a number of “uses” when selecting pricing options. The word uses is synonymous with credits. The number of credits required for each ringtone will vary, but it’s only a one-time cost to purchase a ringtone. Once you have downloaded the ringtone to the handset it becomes a part of the local memory on the handset. You can keep the ringtone indefinitely on that handset without incurring any other charges.

Feedback
