$2 daily GoPhone questions...
Hey, I'm new to this forum. Anyways, I had a pressing question that may keep me away from buying the $2 daily package. I am an infrequent phone user (sorry AT&T :p) and was wondering "If I do not use phone and texting services AT ALL one day, do I still get billed $2?" Also, regarding the 100 MB data passes, "If I purchase a data package but do not use phone and texting services AT ALL that same day, do I still get billed $2?" Thanks.

@greekio $2 is only on the days you take/make calls or respond to texts.
I asked the data question before and the answer was (if I recall correctly) you can't do the daily data if you don't have the daily $2 charge.

Yes!!
As @Gary L say, no $2 charge,no use for the day.
But if you use your phone on 23:59 Central time and carry over to 0:01 Central time
next day,you will get the $2 billed twice.($4)
You cannot use data without the $2 daily charge.

It is my understanding that you get charged $2 for any texts and calls you initiate.
It is also my understanding that you can use the data portion without the $2 charge if you are not using texts and calls.

OP, that is my understanding. It's $2 to check and see what happens.

I believe @adidaskid808 and @Gary L are correct. Using data will incur the daily $2 charge which is why it is very important to turn cellular data off when not intentionally using data as your smartphone will use data if allowed.

Maybe so, but I read it that the $2 is charged as follows, not on data use - I could be wrong.

@greekio I think it's kinda clear from the chart that you need to be using the $2 a day plan to use the features in the chart (including data).
You don't have the talk or text unless you pay the $2 and I'd say the same thing goes for the data.
Do you want clear or do you want accurate?
You can call 5 times and get 5 different answers on this.
You can try it for $3 max ($1 if it's the way you want it) and really know for sure...
FYI, it really bothers me that the items on this page are footnoted up to 10 but the footnotes go up to six!

On the desktop, I see a chat button on the page. Give it a shot, it just went black on me, maybe because it's Midnight?
