Just got some new V551s for me and family and am confused about the AOL,
Media Net, and Messenging features.
Just playing around with the menu on the phone, I apparently got connected
to somewhere because I got a menu with news, weather, sports, etc. on it and
when I exited, got message saying some 6 or 7K bytes were transferred.
What are those bytes being transferred? Just browser requests or downloads,
or what? Do I get charged for those bytes? Cause all I did was click around
in the menu system and bingo I'm transferring bytes around! Is that possible
to be charged for just snooping thru the menu system. Don't I have to
actually download some information?
Is there any way to turn this stuff off? One of the phones is for my 14 year
old daughter and giving her AOL options is like pouring money down a hole.
Also I want to get rid of the AOL icon. (Primarily because of the insult
factor. I hate the company and am insulted that they'ed put it on the phone
automatically.)
