Got a couple of questions for you guys.

What's the difference in t-zones and t-mobile internet?

And when I connect my phone and PC via bt and use dialup networking to dial, say, my office... does that get billed against my minutes, my t-zones/t-mobile internet, or both?

Thanks!

T-Zones is basically WAP access right from your phone's browser. With a T-Zones plan you cannot get Internet access from any device other than your phone.

T-Mobile Internet allows you to connect a Palm, Pocket PC, laptop, etc and use the Internet connection directly. So you can browse the web or get email right on your Palm through the phone. This doesn't require dialing up any ISP or anything like that.

With a T-Mobile Internet plan, you also get T-Zones access on your phone.

If you're using Dial-up networking and dialing into an ISP, you're not using GPRS so you're not charged on either data plan. You're using your minutes instead.
