Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong section. Only joined the forum today - still learning my way around.

My problem is to do with my new 8520 I got today. I havent currently bought myself a proper monthly contract sim yet with a Blackberry data plan and am simply using an old sim card from an older 3g phone.

It has configured itself and I can now receive/make calls and send texts etc. And I can also access the internet when i turn data services on. However, I have turned this off because I am worried about my measly 1mb a month allowance being used up (sim card is from a phone where you dont really sue the internet on it).

Even with this turned off, is the blackberry still going to be accessing the internet and leaving me with a huge bill at the end of the month?

Might sound a stupid question but there is a little gprs logo on the screen and on any previous phone i've had, thats usually meant that it is accessing the internet.

Thanks

James

PS: I am in the UK and am with o2 if it helps.

Nope, data services OFF means no data

If you had a data plan it would show GPRS in caps. gprs in small letters is a good sign that you are NOT using data.

Cheers mate!

Also noticed you are in Chester, bout 20 minutes from me lol. Small world hey?

Am in Whitegate near Northwich if you know it?
