DNS is not in any way related to charges. It is for your computer to resolve address from what you type, say
www.esato.com to a real internet address (IP address) which is 81.27.33.7
MSN or ICQ for that matter would need to connect to the ICQ/MSN server which would require some data transfer. For ICQ it needs to download/check your entire contact list every time you connect to the server.
I think there is some data transfered to let the server know you are still online.

@Ajack, if GPRS is free on the phone, then its still free on the computer even if I use a different DNS right ?
To the first question:
- Dei, morning is no problem, say 10am?
To second question (long version):
- If you already have GPRS hooked in, you can use any DNS server to query and the server would respond like any other query. In network terms, DNS is layer-4 and GPRS is layer-2. The billing works in layer-2, so if your GPRS is free, using any DNS won't costs you a bit.
To second question (short version):
- It's free!
Cheers,

ajack, are you sure DNS is layer-4 and GPRS is only layer-2? Your using which model? TCP/IP?
Even if it is GPRS shouldn't only be layer-2.
All biling would still have to be done by an application, hence the application layer. Though at which layer the packet is stripped until the billing application would recognize/count the packet would depend on the system involved.
