To the best of my knowledge all operators charge for the amount of data, not the time. That's the whole purpose of GPRS, otherwise you can just connect via HSCSD and pay for the time used. I have never heard anyone charge for both time and data at the same time. From the beginning, of gprs, I know that vodaphone in sweden set a limit to 24 hours beeing connected, after that a small fee was charged.

Why keep it in english Mentor? The only ones who can benefit from sending sms via gprs need to have comviq as their operator. And as comivq is a swedish operator i guess the ones using iq is able to speak swedish. And, yes I think that there are money to save here, as itīs free to be connected via gprs. But itīs kinda cheap that "they only allow us to send 5 sms/day for free, thou still better then nothing!

Does anyone know if the the quality of servies is good, I mean does it take long for the sms to get throu? Do the service provider send info/commersial sms to my number? With other words, is there a down side with it?
In sweden you were able to send sms via gprs(telia and free) but they took away that possiblility due to that they think they loose so much money insted of seeing that more people getting into gprs and that people might buy logos(EMS) instead of just sending a sms. Stupied operators....
