Hi , I am curious as to how i get billed for my usage of the internet over my gprs modem.Does anyone know how the billing is carried out with respect to the packet traffic?

You pay by the kilobyte. It's that simple.  SignatureRegards Jon > You pay by the kilobyte. It's that simple. But, for example, Orange World's homepage and some links off it claim to be 'free pages'. So there must be more intelligent billing than just counting bytes through the PPP connection. Theo Yeah its true its some kind of intelligent billing system through the ppp connection so my question is, is this data limited to tcp/udp connections? or is it like analysing the source and destination ports of your traffic and then charging it for example all traffic with destination ports 21,22,80,8080,3128 are charged, anyone have an idea?

Suppose there could be a simple script like "if URL = *.free.orange.co.uk then price=0". Some of the latest phones also have over-the-air software updating, e.g. Sonyerincsson W910i, data costs for these updates are also free (on Orange anyway) SignatureRegards Jon |
