    Text message to check data usage and remaining allotment?

    Is there a way to check data usage and/or remaining data allotment via a text message?

    Text "bal" to "7243". PP will reply with the info you are looking for. The incoming text with the info from PP is free, the outgoing request will count as a text against your allotment.
    I recently tested the "don't mention a PP Dealer by name" rule here on PP Hofo......trust me, it is still in effect - got me a 7 day ban.

    There's also an unofficial Android app you can use to check for free when on WiFi. See this thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767302

    You can also get a free account on the Page Plus website.

    thanks. I tried "bal" to "7243" when i hooked a friend up to the $55 plan , but the 2048MB it quoted didn't seem to decline. Maybe it takes a few hours to replicate. We will try it again.

    I saved said friend from his Verizon $160+ unlimited talk, 200 sms, and his 5GB Verizon aircard he barely used.

    Thank you all for the information.
