My provider is T-mobile USA. The nice thing with them was that GPRS access was free regardless of usage.
Recently I noticed that when trying to access any web page on my phone, I get a message asking me to sign up for T-zones.
Anybody notice the same thing? Anyway around that???
I am still able to retrieve and send emails, btw.

Its axtually their WAP that isnt free anymore. Although they use GPRS for it, its much less bandwidth intensive. Dosnt support SSL, and if you are using a cellphone browser.. stinks! :)

Although, I id use it with my Tmo pocket PC with IE (and WAP) it worked, though was very slow and timed out alot. I have always paid for WAP, so IM not to concerned. Now that they have you hooked, you pay for your drug ;-)

Sneaky, eh?

The thing is that im not that hooked. I mainly used it to check movie times at a few cinemas close by.
Yeah, sucks anyway...
