I don't work neither atm which is depressing but it's not the point the web browser on the N80 can do some damage to your bill I only loaded the 02 homepage 3x this is what im horrified at

Damn, I put £10 on my phone last month, got my 300 free texts, used 150 of them...spent £2 on calls...still got £8 left and my remaining texts were taken off.
So I spent £2 this month

@MissUK
It's not the N80's Browser but it's 02's and there rip off Data charges that are the problem. If you were with T-Mobile it would of cost you a maximum of £7.50 for 1GB and as you like to point out with 3 even less @£5.
I know it's bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted but i have advised you how to make sure you don't connect for any Data unless you give it permission to use a certain access point or to set it to only use WiFi. I would advise implementing those actions to guarantee it doesn't happen again and if you intend to use Data without WiFi changing Networks as soon as you can would also be a great idea.
It may also be worth calling 02 assuming it doesn't cost any money to do so and complaining about their over the top Data charges and try claiming you thought you were only using WiFi as you may wangle a discount on the charges if you use your very nice and sweet voice. I doubt they will wipe them completely but you may get a reduction if your lucky.

Stop playing with your phone and look for a job. Then you can afford to own it. |

I just got my bill and the first time I've had a good look at it.. usually I just throw it somewhere unopened.
I've been charged £8 by three for Internet and My mobile is not even compatible with their Internet!!! Might give em a call later on but I don't think it'll help.
on another note... God bless student loans and Scholarships.

Don't complain!
here in Bulgaria, a MEGABYTE via GPRS costs about one pound!!! make your own calculations to see how much a gigabyte costs!
praised be the one who invented WIFI!!!

Here in Macedonia 2MB cost 1 euro. I think it's still very expensive... Hope the GRPS price will fall in the near future...

I could live with it being £6 but £26.00 is alot..
o2 charge £3 per MB there the worst network for Data in the UK as it costs so much I can leave o2 come November 23rd ive been a customer of there's for 8 years it doesn't seem there going to sort there charges out like the rest of them so im gunna get my Pac code and move over to "3" hopefully they will have that £15 deal still by then 
in the meantime I don't know whether to pay off my debt installments or pay for it all now lol
