    Just a quick word of warning in case people weren't aware.

    If you have your APN set to open.internet, O2 will charge you 1c per KB for using your handset to connect to the web.

    Just received a call from customer service to tell about this and thought I'd pass on the info the rest of you.

    If you can read this, you're too close!
