The WiFi phone is supposed to work in Starbucks, some other places, and on your home WiFi network. Would T-Mobile somehow use your bandwidth for things other than your own calls? Is that what you are claiming? Sorry that I don't understand but I am not one of the computer pros on this list. > T-Mobile subscriber (again) even though GPRS sucks Cheer up, Sidney -- I know it's cold outside (all of a sudden) but the sun is shining and great things are coming your way! ;-) I used to use GPRS (Verizon, then T-Mobile) but switched to Sprint because I wasn't happy with the reception. I don't know if it was GPRS or the carrier (3+ years ago) that was the problem. GPRS is used in many other countries, but my Sprint phone only works in the US, so that's a good thing about GPRS and I've been thinking about switching back. What problems do you have with GPRS? Mike
