Hi Guys

IM on t-mobile uk and have k850i, i can browse the internet on phone using the inbuilt browser via opera. I have a data plan to be able to use this which costs me £7 a month

My question is can I also use this connection on my laptop via the pc suite. I know how to connect it but what I am wanting to know is will T-mobile know im using a pc and would it cost me a fortune to browse when I have the data plan thing.

THank you.

I do the same thing. Your operator cant detect whether your using a pc or not as your still using the same access point etc. And seeing as you have a data plan, it wont cost you anything extra to browse using your pc.

So does it just know how its connecting via the pc suite do i have to put extra settings in? I think theres a 1gb policy on the standard web and walk is that enough for browsing and facebook? Are you on T-Mobile?

U shouldn't need any extra settings. Pc suite should set it up for you. Im on o2 and their limit is 250 mb! so u should be ok.
