Using tokens
- 8 years ago
Thank you for the thorough answers, BirdDog, Gwalk900, GabeU, C0RR0SIVE. And this is why you guys will always be champions, no matter what title the system gives you.
I haven't run out of data and had to rely on tokens, I think, since I had Gen3, so I had totally forgotten how they worked, and on Gen4 I've never run out of data so as to go to SmartBrowsing -- I thought SmartBrowsing would kick in first and then tokens. After reading the replies, that of course doesn't make any sense (facepalm!).
Now I understand the flow, and I'm relieved that tokens are used as needed but if there's a remainder, it stays on the account. I was concerned they would all disappear like the carryover data from Verizon (it only stays on the account for one cycle and then it's gone).
I "used" all of my tokens in the sense that I moved them all to the tokens bucket. By deploy, I meant putting them to work, but of course that's automatic when the data runs out. Big duh in hidnsight!!
Like GabeU stated, if you have data sitting in your Token Bytes Available bucket, Smartbrowse will not kick in till those are fully exhausted.
