Hi there, this is probably a dumb question so if it is im sorry :)

Today a saw someone with a xda and realised instantly how cool it would be to have one to use the wifi at work, what i am interested in finding out is..

If I got a unlocked one and put an orange network card into it would it work?
Then would i be able to log onto the wifi at my place of work?
And if i can log on do i just pay the wifi providors charges or do i have to pay something to my phonelne providor too?

Thank you in advance, again sorry if im wasting anyones time.

the wifi depends on who's wifi you are using
generally it's free say for example your home connection if you make one
the one at work is probably free as well provided you have the setup
the only time it isn't really free is some hotspots may charge, but they have special passwords or logins so that you can't get on, or if your provider offers special hotspots
so treat it as free, if it isn't, it will say so (most of the time)

I do have an account at work, I just wanted to make sure that I didnt *have* to use my providors network, like it didnt class as per mb on my phone too. But thats fantastic, your providor always seems to charge way to much.

if you're specifically talking about about your work connection, i'm sure it won't cost you because wifi doesn't use the provider's airwaves
