freitasm: Ah... You can only access this through the WAP gateway, not the Internet. Bummer.


What's this "internet" thing then? I keep hearing people talk about it...


Well, I understand the sarcasm. And I know having a WAP gateway is needed to authenticate the user and provide those services. But a walled garden?

So, the question really is... How much does it cost to browse Toybox?

+1

Obviously I'm to retarted to figure out how to update the access point settings. Will these settings be included in the new data files sent out? I had a look at the data file sent to my phone and the Proxy settings were not included.

Ok, 2degrees answered here (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=85&topicid=60329&page_no=4#324586): data traffic is charged at casual rate, except for the download of content purchased.

Just to be clear, browsing Toybox you are charged the casual rate. However, the data used to download any content purchased from Toybox is not charged.

Is there any chance that casual data charges will be dropped prior to introduction of 3G?

I would have said "What is A toybox?"... Toybox is somehting 2d posted then ripped down before... 


It was a joke.  It's ok to laugh.

From that link - checking your balance costs data? =/

Or is this a different method to your usual one?

If you want to be sure to check your balance for free, use *100*1#. It's faster anyway. The WAP portal front page just happens to show your balance as well.

Salty's right the WAP portal home page shows your balance - not Toybox.

Isn't it *100#1#?  Or does *100*1# work too?  I love *100#1# btw! :)

Both work. However *100*1# is what we're moving towards.
