@unimpressed, koodo has data plans (data flex rate or something like that) for $0. Just activate the service at any Koodo kiosk and then (1) instantly disable the data from mobile network (koodo) in your handset and (2) enable wi-fi in your handset. You will be using wi-fi all the time (where you have access to the wireless router) without being charged by Koodo for data usage.

i was just at koodo and they told me that they are charging for wifi if you dont have a data plan...because the company said they can't tell if its wifi or not...i am not impressed at all...if you have a data plan what do you need wifi for...i thought wifi was free. wouldn't have gone with koodo a month ago if i'd know that...

Having a phone unlocked usually means that you can then use it with a SIM card of another carrier, including overseas if your phone supports the same frequencies.

Thanks much for the quick reply Peter, thats as I thought and read, perhaps I can ask another question,what is the advantage of having the phone unlocked, I had mine done at a cost of $20, but as a relative newbeee I must admit I dont fully comprhend the system...TIA for replies

If you're connected to Wi-Fi then no, you are not charged by the cell phone company.

Im new to Android Technoligy but since getting the LG P500h last week Ive looked deeply into it along with talking to the guys at the Koodo desk where I got the phone, Im a lite user so am on the $15 per month rate, my question evolves arounf WiFi usage, If Im connected to my own or anyone else through WiFi am I charged "air time" by koodo, if I use skype or any othe voip program through the net am I charged, I dont think I should be but just thought to prose the question ???
