kb usgage for pix/flix
can some1 other than me tell this guy in the data plan post that pix/flix do not use kbs and have not for more than a year

I disagree. I had a i760 for a month. If I was sent a pix message right before I went to sleep, and didn't open it, I was charged data for the 6-8 hours that I didn't open it. I spoke with VZW regarding it, and they said I should've opened it to avoid the data charge. They had no answer except I should've had purchased the unlimited data to avoid the charges. I didn't get unlimited because I have wifi@home/work. Using wifi at home didn't count for pix/flix messages because they come over evdo. Needless to say, I sold my i760 and have a Voyager now.

I believe that now with the nationwide plans that pix/flix DO use kbs and you are charged the data. (at least from what I learned in training on the new plans)
