Hello,I have just bought a new phone k800i. I use two PAYG Sim cards,my new 02 one which had about £5 of credit on it and my old Orange one which I top up regulalry.

I decided to use the 02 sim card just to surf the web,as I have never used mobile internet (shocking isnt it!) So I connected up and searched google,went on so many game/video and music sites downloading before my PAYG credit ran out.....so about 10 minutes

Its just dawned on me tho even tho im on PAYG mobile and my phone credit on 02 has now ran out is it possible I would get charged anything else for downloading or if by any chance ive subscribed to something on the mobile web by accident when downloading games ect?

Also if I decided to top up would I then maybe get charged?

Lastly......stupid amatuer question like the rest.......Can your mobile phone get viruses.....seeing as I use two sim cards at times I wouldnt want it to affect my everyday sim card.

Thanks for listening!

When i was on Vodafone a while ago i was charged after running out of credit and then topping up by some crap website, so be carefull! The answer to your second question is...No, the k800 cannot get viruses. Symbian based phones can however.
