Ive got a GX10i and it is very easy to connect to Live by accident.
After a few beers last night I accidently connected without knowing. Didnt realise until I looked at it at 10AM today, it was probably connected from about 2AM thismorning!!
Cant find the charges on their website, anyone like to guess how much my drunken mistake is going to cost me?
Thanks, Rob

I'm not an expert, but I was under the impression that you pay per bit/byte of data. If the phone was idle (i.e. not downloading tones, pics etc) then it might not be so bad as all that???

WAP is just a type of protocol primarily used for low bandwidth access to specially designed web sites. WAP can be used over GPRS or circuit switched connections.
You're Sharp GX10 should be using GPRS for WAP. Look in settings> internet settings > wap settings > vodafone live!
Edit the WAP profile, goto connection type, should be "GPRS then CSD". If it is then you probably won't get charged much This setting means it should use GPRS by default (charged per byte) and circuit switched data (CSD) (charged per minute) if GPRS is unavailable. It should prompt you before using CSD.
Hope this helps

Graz, thanks for that mate, it is set to GPRS then CSD!
Sounds like I got away with it.
Thanks again, Rob

My mate did this when we went to Spain a couple of months back... Woke up at 10am after a big night out to find himself connected to the WAP at INTERNATIONAL RATES! Can't remember exactly how much it was but it was over £150! Oh, how he laughed
