Don't believe they change anything on the phone i.e. the phone doesn't
stop working for a bit during the changeover; no new settings to receive
etc.

I'd just try using your phone as a modem right now (before upgrading).
For web browsing you'd probably be okay - unless they look at the
browser ID string to see if you are using a phone based browser. Other
services, such as file sharing or IM probably will be detected and blocked.

The worst that can happen is that they phone you up - and then you just
say you wanted to see how easy it was to connect the PC to the phone to
the internet before committing to an extra fiver a month. :-)

Your fair use allowance also goes from 1GB to 3GB.

I changed over from Web n Walk to Web n Walk Pro (no longer available) a
while ago. The Web n Walk tariff was billed a month in advance but Pro
was activated immediately. As a result the two were active together for
one month, YMMV.

Was Web n Walk part of the contract or did you add it separately? I've
heard of some people having problems if it is part of the contract
because it is treated as a change of tariff.

If it was added separately you can make the change online if you are
registered with "My T-mobile".

I had no problem adding "plus" to my flext/w&w tariff, although the
website was so broken I had to get customer services to do it for me.
