You don't say which Media bundle you have. What you use up are Mega Bytes of
data whenever you access the web, e-mail or MSN/Yahoo chat. You can (on the
phones I have had) check to see how many minutes you have used for talking
and the amount of data (The Mbytes)transferred between your phone and the
services you use. Your statement also has this information. Until you know
how much data you are using I would recommend getting the unlimited Media
package at $20 per month. This is a lot cheaper than starting on a plan with
limited amounts of data and then having to pay excess charges (which are
steep). Check your statement and if you find you are using a lot less data
than one of the cheaper packages offers, change plans.
