Hi all,
I have ordered my E90 and should have it today/Monday. I'm on O2 but have not taken the WIFI bolt on. I dont understand what it's for? Could someone explain how you get charged for wifi? Will they charge me for using my home wireless connection?
Also, push email, can I set up my yahoo account to send push email? (I do have the unlimited web bolt on)
Cheers in anticipation of some answers!

They can't charge you for using your home wifi network. What they probably do have is a series of wifi hotspots, which you are also able to use if you pay extra...
You can be charged for wifi when you connect to public hotspots and you are registered or subscribe some paid plan, never on your private wifi network!!!
Some time the mobile network providers block access to some services... I will explain this better: Vodafone in Portugal, with the pack that I paid for internet access, they didn't let me access my e-mail account by push e-mail. I was extra-charged for having push e-mail or access e-mail only by webmail...
Actually I subscribe a pack for internet access, another pack for e-mail access, and sometimes, another time for wifi access... I am a good customer of Vodafone!!!
A simple look at the explanation on O2's website would have told you:
What is included with the O2 Wi-Fi Bolt On?O2�s Wi-Fi Bolt On gives you access to unlimited Wi-Fi at over 7,500 public hot spots with The Cloud. An excessive usage policy applies.
What is data and Wi-Fi excessive usage?
The legal speak
All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use the service for continuous streaming of any audio/video content or enable voice over internet (VoIP), P2P or file sharing or use the service in a way that adversely impacts the service to other customers of the Cloud.
What that really means
O2 really want you to surf the internet as much as you like on your handset. So long as you use your handset to browse, its for your own personal use and you don�t affect the quality of other O2 users, then you can surf as much as you like without having to worry about any usage limits.
