would they charge me for the data package if I use AT&T plan on a smart phone

I've been using Nokia E61i which is a smart phone for a while. I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T today, but I didn't sign up for the $30 data package, which is required in order to use AT&T on any smart phone (their new policy starting last month). So I'm supposed to use the stupid Nokia 2600 they gave me for free.

I just tried to insert the AT&T SIM card into E61i, tried to call someone and apparently it works.

So, my question is, if I continue using it on E61i (or any smart phone), would AT&T automatically adds the data package to my bill and charge me for it?

thanks!

I would say yes, but don't take my word for it. I would probably have to say if you start using any of the smart phones features (internet, email, etc) that require their server, it go from probably to for sure.

what if i use my school's wi-fi internet instead of AT&T's wifi service?

I you call someone on AT&T's system (maybe if you just have your phone on), they will know what you are using and charge you the monthly data fee.

This is the correct response...the most important part is in bold.

I bought a Tilt from someone in April this year, and used it up until October with out being charged for a data plan. I never used the data part of the phone, only phone usage or wifi. The only reason it changed is that I added data, and upgraded to a Tilt 2. The whole time i was using it, if I went to the web page it showed the tilt as my current phone.
