Never really thought about this, but it's regarding browsing the web on your phone - my inclusive usage allowance on my bill lets me have 100kb of browsing per month...but what is that in minutes? Is it based on how long I browse for or how many things i get off the web? |

That would be how many things you get off the web. 100kb isn't very much... |

 downloading 100kb would take less than a second on broadband and less than a minute to download on ssloww dial-up! Most java games these days are well over 100kb in size these days...

Well, downloading is classified as every bit of text, graphics or sound that your phone downloads; so you can't classify is as minutes. And anyway, I surely hope that your download limit isn't 100KB  , otherwise you better change your plan!

100kb/month is very low. You can download a small java game/app and some poly tones. Not more than that. |

Yeah, 100kb is really little. You could download a couple of games at most. Or just use it for ringtones. It's good for polyphonic ringtones only though. Cos mp3 tones probably take up more than 100kb per tone. |

Well, I've seemingly esacaped paying any charges.... Anyways, download opera mini on your phone it compresses webpages, so less is downloaded so esentially you pay less, also the programs free! I've just downloaded it, and am suitably impressed!
Cheers
