I've had an amazing month!

First, a friend of mine gets a phone upgrade with his o2 contract. He doesn't want a new phone so he lets me choose it and pay the difference (I obviously picked the N95)

After worrying about having to get it unlocked, I find that it's already unlocked, (Firmware is o2 tho)

I change it to 'EURO1' and flash it, with absolutely no trouble whatsoever.

After seeing o2's data prices, I pick up a T-Mobile web 'n' walk sim for 99p on eBay, which comes with �10 credit!

Finally I notice the transmitter that was installed right outside my house this year is T-Mobiles!

Bandwidth tests are always indicating at least 300kbps, and also Skype works fine, and connects my laptop to the internet as it should

Has anyone here on web n walk PAYG actually had their service removed for using IM or Skype yet? I'm assuming they can't actually tell if I'm connecting a PC to the net through the handset right?

Thanks, and thanks to everyone on this forum who contributes info, you've been a great help (ie firmware updating)
