At&t - am I being charged for data usage when i have a txt plan?

Question

I'm new to the whole contract phone, I used to just have a prepaid phone, and I'm confused with what exactly data usage is. I don't have a data plan, but I do have a text plan on my phone, and I sent about 14 pictures to my friends. I also went online to check my email about 3 or 4 times. It says I have a total of 12,892kb's of data sent and received already and I read somewhere AFTER I sent the pictures that it's .01/kb. Does that mean I have $128 in extra charges?! I've only had my phone for 2 days, so that would really suck if the picture msgs at least aren't considered data used since i have the txt plan.

Answer 1

Read your contract, ask the sales person if you have questions.

Answer 2

Call them and tell them other and sound mad lol.  

Answer 3

The data sent of 12.89 is usage not charges, they will charge you at the end of the month for data used if you do not have a data plan.  If you have media messaging and text messaging you should be fine but checking your email is going online and that's considered data.  Good luck!

Answer 4

go to the store and talk to them about it. mean while dont text

Answer 5

if you are sending pictures to an e-mail address, this will be data use, did you download anything, like a ringtone???

Call 611 from your phone, & talk to customer service, they will explain the charges to you!!!!

Answer 6

The photo's are digital bandwidth or Data.  Get a phone without a camera or you will be living to support a goofy phone.  

Answer 7
