Be careful!!, if you are browsing the regular internet using your phone as a
modem your free 20Mb will get used up in about 5 minutes! Not even sure if
the free data transfer will count if the phone is used this way. I think it
is intended for browing using the actual phone. Check with your provider, or
proceed with caution...
If you are planning to use the internet quite a bit, consider picking up one
of those Internet PayAsYouGo CDs from Tescos or a computer shop or
wherever...
If you are planning on using the internet a lot, consider paying for
Broadband (from about £15/month)
