iPhone 3G Usage Abroad

[Firestar_3x]

Hi fokes,

Going to the USA tomorrow so just phoned up O2 to make sure my phone will work abroad, woman said this wasn't an issue, great.

I then went on to ask about the wifi data, basically our villa has a USA based wifi connection that i have the WEP key for, even though this is a private paid for internet connection the woman told me if i connect to it and use the data i will get charged at £6 / MB....

Is this correct, i can't see how the can charge you to use a private wifi connection seen as i could connect a laptop upto it and not pay anything.

Any ideas fokes?
