When downloading e-mails to my PDA can I leave my GPRS connection switched on all the time without it costing me in call charges? or does it act like a 56K modem, ie. pay as you go?

Sorry if this is a simple answer? :confused:

Simple answer.

No, it does not act as a dial up modem.

You are charged by the Mb (size) of the files / emails that you download.

Watch what else you have running on your PDA as well. A whole host of applications will send and recieve data while they are sat apparently doing nothing.
If you're bill's a worry, best off disconecting, it's not like it takes very long to reconnect.
