    I know I should of asked when I first got the phone, but I dont want my first month bill be to be to outrageous.

    1.) I can't check my minute usage / billling information. When I dial the *Bill# number or whatever, it text messages me, I open it, and it tells me that the information couldnt be sent! Arg, i've waisted 50 cents or so opening up these text messages.

    2.) Does it cost to listen to my voice mail?

    3.) Does it use my minutes when someone calls me?

    4.) Playing games on my phone is free, right? (Stupid question).

    5.) I know when night and weekends start, but our my minutes used up based on MY phones clock, or Cingular's network clock or whatever. So what if they're in a diffrent time zone or something?

    6.) I couldnt find any information on using my browser on the phone (pressing the blue I button)

    7.) My phone intereferes with my computer speakers when someone calls me, or when it rings. It probably does it when I call out too. Why?


    Thats all I can think of now, if you can answer ANY of these, please do. Thanks.

    Ok, I am going to try to answer some of your questions

    2.) Does it cost to listen to my voice mail?

    3.) Does it use my minutes when someone calls me?

    4.) Playing games on my phone is free, right? (Stupid question).

    5.) I know when night and weekends start, but our my minutes used up based on MY phones clock, or Cingular's network clock or whatever. So what if they're in a diffrent time zone or something?

    6.) I couldnt find any information on using my browser on the phone (pressing the blue I button)

    7.) My phone intereferes with my computer speakers when someone calls me, or when it rings. It probably does it when I call out too. Why?


    YES IT DOES COST TO CALL YOUR VOICE MAIL.....IT USES YOUR MINUTES.....

    WHEN SOMEONE CALLS YOU, YES IT TAKES AWAY FROM YOUR MINUTES, SO YES IT COST, UNLESS THEY ARE ON THE SAME NETWORK...MOBILE TO MOBILE.....IS FREE.......

    A LOT OF PHONES WILL INTERFER WITH YOUR COMPUTER OR OTHER APPLIANCES AS WELL....YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT YOUR CELL PHONE NEAR THE COMPUTER.......I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.....I WAS TOLD IN COMPUTER CLASSES NEVER TO KEEP ANY KIND OF PHONE NEAR YOUR COMPUTER BECAUSE OF INTERFERENCE

    I HOPE I HELPED...TAKE CARE AND FIND OUT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN........

    The other questions...

    1) I can't check my minute usage / billling information. When I dial the *Bill# number or whatever, it text messages me, I open it, and it tells me that the information couldnt be sent! Arg, i've waisted 50 cents or so opening up these text messages.

    Try again, or call them to make sure you get this service and complain if you do.


    4.) Playing games on my phone is free, right? (Stupid question).

    Yes and no. Playing embeded games is free but downloading other games or playing 'network games' is not.


    5.) I know when night and weekends start, but our my minutes used up based on MY phones clock, or Cingular's network clock or whatever. So what if they're in a diffrent time zone or something?

    It uses Cingular's clock, depending on the time zone you are in, not your 'home area'. Your phone clock/timer is just a guide to help you manage your calls and tell time, obviously.


    6.) I couldnt find any information on using my browser on the phone (pressing the blue I button)

    Well, you pay for it if that's what you mean. It's for surfin' wap sites and stuff. i.e. movie times, weather, getting ringtones, etc.


    Done. Hope that helps!
