The CSR at Zoomer tried to tell me this phone is like a lamborgini and my blkiberry was like a honda with the gas comsumption. I said bull the phone shouldn't use that much data 2 days.

Just signed up last week and recieved my phone the Core Mon Jan 12th and this phone uses alot of data> I have used 400mg already. I don't use apps. I just use email and surf the net a bit. I have a blkberry torch and I don't use this much data at all in a month with it. The only thing I am not doing is using with th eCore is checking twitter.

I called Zoomer but they todl me to turn off my data and turn it on when I need it. I really just want to view my emails ( I don't download files either from email) and surf the net sometimes.

Does anyone have any recommenations? I would appreciate it.
I may send the phone back and get the Q5. I really don't want it to eat up my data, I have 1g, at this rate I will spend 5g for the month and not even get to watch a movie or a couple of tv shows.

Some programs give you the ability to select to only allow updates only over wifi, therefore, if you are on data the program will not perform updates thus minimizing data usage.

You do not get a cheque or other form of payment.

I'm thinking about it but not for the next two weeks because I'll just use up the rest of the prepaid credit I have right now.
