I got a message that i was being charged $4.44 for gprs access, but as far as i know i haven't used it. i'm not traveling, just at home. or was looking at my e-mail inbox the reason? does that cost so much for a minute?

thanks for the info, but what can i do? i do have a smartphone, a samsung galaxy clone, with the at&t simcard i've used in several earlier phones with no charges like this. i was sitting right next to my home router when i looked at my e-mail on the cellphone, just to see if i was connected -- and then the charge came up. do i need to change settings or something?

Try going to settings and turn OFF DATA . You will still be able to connect to your wifi.

thanks! i don't see any setting called DATA, but i can turn off the wi-fi -- is that what you mean? i turned off something called 'gprs transfer prefer' and it informed me that the 'data transmission rate will decline'.
