Hi guys,

I have a E71 and according to my bill, I've paid £1.3 for 2MB of Orange Internet. I've been using WLAN, rather than WAP/GPRS and I cannot work out where that 2MB has come from.
 
is it possible you may have caught buttons on you're handset and been connected without realising? Done it a few times on my n95 when i've thought its been locked and it hasn't

Why not have a bit of a moan at them and see if they give you 500mb a month free, worth a shot :D
 
Most phones are set up so that if they lose wifi they switch to GPRS, but not the other way around, so a one off disconnection from wifi can cause you to use GPRS without realising it, as most phones will not reconnect to the lan when they have an active GPRS connection.

If you are concerned, give CS a call and discuss it further.
 
Hi,

Dolph, it seems that it does switch to GRPS if you lose Wireless connection. :)

They offered me a deal with 500MB data for £4.89 a month. Worth it?
 
I think so, but work it out. How much data are you likely to use per month? Then multiply that by the cost per MB. :)

Given that the maximum daily cap is £1.50 per day (1mb or over), I would say so for piece of mind, but it's your choice.

It also means you don't have to worry about usage when you're out and about, I'd be lost without my mobile internet on my HTC diamond :)
