Hi guys!
I'm relatively new to this forum and to GPRS. After configuring my T68i, I found out that if my T68i is connected to a PDA I'll be charged. Here's a copy from the FAQ:
http://www.myglobe.com.ph/portal/faqs.asp?conid=609&categoryid=176&title=faqs
---------
GPRS is FREE if surfing using your phone. But if your using your mobile phone connected to a laptop or PDA, that would be P .50/kbps (for Corporate Managed internet browsing P .15/kbps).
---------
How true is this? I did use it on my Sony Clie using the IR and surfed WAP sites for over an hour. After I disconnected, I checked my prepaid balance and its still the same, meaning I wasn't charged.
I'm also planning of getting a memory stick BT dongle to pair the PDA with the T68i. With this setup, am I going to be charged per kb or is it still free?
Please share some light on the issue. TIA!

@Jowi I use www.globe.com.ph APN for browsing wap and webbrowserpro on my Tungsten t. For browsing with GPRS on the pc or laptop the internet APN IS needed and this is charged .50 per kb of sending and receiving.
