No. There person who initiated the DC is the one charged for the $1.50/day DC
fee on Boost. If you were to reply back then you would be charged the DC fee for
the day if you have not used DC yet. If you reply within six seconds you also
will avoid the charge and keep replying within that time frame. The person who
intiated the DC is charged.

So if you get a wrong DC from some one and do not reply NO CHARGE to you. If you
reply then there is a charge.

Huh?!?!

So if you carry on a full conversation and keep replying within 6 seconds
then you don't get charged at all? Only the person that initiated the DC?

Can anyone else confirm this?

This is right from Boost Mobile's website FAQ's

HOW MUCH DO I GET CHARGED FOR BOOST FEATURES? back to the top ^
(Be sure to visit the Awesome Features section for more details)

Boost Walkie-Talkie is just $1.50 a day, only on the days you use it.

* Boost Walkie-Talkie is only charged when the Boost Walkie-Talkie
button or Alert button is pressed.

Text Messaging - no matter how many messages you send or receive a
day...it's only 10 cents per message to send and free of charge to
receive.

Wireless Web is 20 cents a day. Surf the web and more for just 20 cents
a day.

No additional charges for roaming and long distance!

So as long as you do NOT press the button to respond then you should
not be charged the $1.50 per day two way charge.
