Tru lowers data pricing in the USA to around $.17/MB

[Bossman]

For the last 2 weeks or so, every time I turn my phone on. I see a $0.17 charge for sms sent to 453. I am 100% sure I did not send an sms. Anyone have a clue. Not a biggy, so I did not bother to contact Tru, as I will use up my remaining credit when I travel in March.

We were right all along. They weren't

They seem to charge by 30 second increments--at least the first 30. So I show and have shown 9 cents a call for '30' second calls. I really have not tried longer calls to see what happens.

Let me add that I now that I tested with a call from a Tru to a Tru and that 55 and 56 seconds calls both charged 16 cents. This would seem to mean that it is a 30/1 second method of charging for calls.

They bill for the first 30 seconds and then second-by-second
