qs on N80
-
Hi guys,
Just to check.
I recently bought a N80 internet edition phone.(with wifi capability)
I would like to know.
When i surf using the wireless network avail lets say in mcdonalds or library.
Do i ned to pay a fee for using it? im using singtel..so will i be charge for GPRS fee?
Went to nokia and singtel shop and the employees there are saying that i need to pay the GPRS fee which is by per kb
however, my friend who also recently bought the ph says that internet access via wireless (wifi ) is totally free
any bros here can advise me?
thanks -
I think delifrance need to pay, but if you flash your singtel N80 IE to the counter staff, they will give you 30 mins free surfing.

wifi =/= gprs

All wifi network you get access to are free-of-charge. Just read the phone manual for instructions on using wifi on your phone.Originally posted by discusfish:Hi guys,

There are three companies that provide free Wireless@SG. Check out Qmax, Icell and Singtel. If you sign up with Qmax, there will be a free creative web cam (not sure if this offer is still valid now).
After signing up, just use your phone to search for these network when you are out in places like shopping center, town central, cbd, etc. If you are able to detect them, then you should be able to connect to it and see the login screen the network prompts you to enter. Once entered, you will get to surf.
By the way, wifi(if you can get access, it's free) is not equal to GPRS(need to pay per kb). Take note not to access unsecured network not meant for you.
As for the rest, read the phone manual and google yourself. -
basically N80 IE has a easily Wifi setup, upload of photo to photo album, and internet function if you want to surf internet in the hot spot you need to sign up for the internet access in the Mcdonald, Wireless@Sg. both need to sign up differently.
