ok, so I got a T-Mobile Wing. I live in Canada and I use my Rogers sim card on it. I don't have a data plan with my 'my5' plan. I was looking for Rogers GPRS settings on line and I went to this site: http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/376820-1.html
I entered 'Rogers internet.com settings' it says 'requires access to a Data access plan'. As I said, I'm not on a data plan, anyways after entering these settings:

apn: internet.com
username: wapuser1
password: wap
ip: 208.200.067.150

I was able to go on the net. Now, does anyone know If I will be charged for this? If so, is there a way I can goto a Rogers store or online and see how much data I've used and how much it will cost me? Or do I do nothing and wait for my next bill to see if they're gonna start to charge me?

Thanks!

as far as i know, yes, you are being charged for this.

i base that answer on this knowledge:
personally i have not bought an internet plan, and when i went to browse the internet (i thought i was on wi-fi only), there was a notification that my phone was connecting to GPRS. i of course cancelled that and then went in and deleted the Cingular internet settings that were on my phone to ensure that i wouldn't accidentally connect again, but when my phone bill came i was charged for a minute of internet usage.

If you want to make sure they don't charge you, call Rogers to ask them to block any data via GPRS. In about 2 hours of phone calls it should be done and any charge on your bill for data is their fault. A data plan with Rogers is a bad idea so you should cut this service right now.
