I dont understand all this WAP, GPRS etc.. I have heard the N95 runs sat nav, pretty useful for when I am walking to meetings etc in central london. Question is.. Will I get charged when the Sat Nav is turned on?

Thanks

 

just had a 190 quid phone bill for browsing on my phone, not happy, at all

 

I'm on T-Mobiles Flext contract and pay £35 a month. Never been stung any extra for net use. Never even used all my free budget.

 

cheers lads..

So basically you have an allowane in your plan?

Say I dont and I connect to a FREE wifi point, would I be charged?

Contract is up so looking at some options

 

im on the internet bolt on with 02, and they STILL charge me for connecting to WIFI in my own house with wifi that IVE payed for. tossers

 

How's that work as you're using the phones capability not the networks?

 

see, Im with O2 at the minute and was going to upgrade. Asked the question about using a free WIFI, and they said I would get charged.. WTF?? doesnt make sense..

which providers can you take your existing number over to and have free net usuage please? anyone know? well handy for the train etc

 

Wifi - Free if you connect to your router at home, easily proved, take the sim card out and put another dead one in,

Public Wifi, such as "The Cloud" costs, make sure you stipilate when speaking to O2, thanks

and yes you will get charged to download the map data, easy fix, install tomtom and install the internal n95 gps fix which allows the internal gps antenna to work with tomtom now, presto, free sat nav

thanks

 

where can you get the gps fix and tom tom for the n95 from?

also anyone had speaker problems with their 8 gig n95? mine is 2 weeks old and sounds like its fecked on left speaker.

 

focuschiv, o2 do NOT charge you to use your own wifi, it's impossible. you quite obviously have your phone set up wrong

 

PMSL at charging you to use your own WIFI

as jim said, thats 100% impossible

i'm with O2 and ALL my web browsing is FREE, so i make good use of it,

and if you dont have it, you can pay 7.5 for a bolt on

but mines free

 

Get yourself the Nokia Maploader. (Find it via google, its free)
Install it on your pc and download the maps and voices.
Then you use the maploader to install them onto your phone via the cable.
Then next time you run google maps on your phone tell it NOT to connect to get the maps and it will just grab them from memory and not cost anything, and is alot quicker loading too

 

spot on

 

it still amzes me why people need to use their phone to browse the web. Can you not wait until you are at your home computer/laptop

 

what about when you want a sly tug at work where theres no laptops around for miles?

how can it be impossible to get charged???? i phoned up 02 and they said that i get a service charge every time i connect to my WIFI? work that one out! maybe different areas different rules?

 

service charge?

for using the wifo on the phone?

you've been strung one dude

OR
and its probably the right answer, is that you aren' connecting you ?YOUR wifi, even though you at home

 

ok the problem is you ahve listened to a bloke that works in a call center.

just look around on websites like www.fish4jobs.com www.employment2go.com etc. and see just how qualified you need to be to get a job answering a phone.



now... yuo understand your mistake now?

what you will have connected to is either:

o2's broadband wifi service (unlikely)
O2's GPRS/3G service (most likely)

this is where your charges are coming from, internet use using their services.

how can they charge you for using your own service, you alredy pay your ISP for that

 

cheers lads...

Phone is here tomorrow so will check it out..!
