Just been messing with my phone at work and got a popup message saying my balance is £x.xx, never had this before so i've double checked after browsing for a short time, my balance was definatley reduced dammint!!!

EDIT: wouldnt a post in the wap/gprs/etc forum be of more use than just in the p8/p900 forum?

its still free if you change the 'use proxy' settings

control panel>internet accounts>o2wap gprs>edit>advanced>proxy tab>check 'use proxy server' 193.113.200.195 port 8080,

just tried it myself and this seems to work, dont forget you DO get 1mb allowance anyway!

EDIT: didnt get an email, just started charging, changed my settings now so i'm ok for a while until they figure out how to stop this as well!
