Make sure you're not using the auto-email check function. My mate set his on his old T610 and ended up with a huge gprs bill. 2.2c/kb in Aust plus 15c connection fee per session can add up. Although your bill is quite high!

OMG  ! 675 bucks ?? You could buy a new phone for that !
Best option would be to contact the customer support and verify it with your usage.

Then they will use a collections agency to convince you to pay the outstanding amount. Threaten to take you to court, etc, standard stuff.

There was a post on this forum that I read earlier on Sunday about some kind of WAP scam.
Try searching for it.... |
