Internet usage charges for Blackberry with Qtel
Hello,
I am subscribed to Qtel blackberry service since Feb. 2011, a week ago and for the first time I noticed that I am being charged for DATA ACCESS! The interesting thing is that its only showing now in the month of June & I noticed that this access happens at times when I'm not using the device, like at 3:00 am and 7:00 am both are idle times for me. When I called Qtel they said that i'm using the internet! I am thinking that there are some programs that are accessing the internet automaticly. Does anyone know how I can figure out what's accessing the internet on my phone?
Thanks Drude, your answer is very helpful. I have closed all running apps. Let's see how Qtel will do the charging now!
The thing that drove me crazy is that, why am I being charged only for the month of June, what about the other months since Feb.? I am 100% sure that I was seeing videos over bbm, I was browsing the net too. Why June only? Though I know that my usage to the net in June is much less than previous months!
Well, there is no point in stopping the push services when I have the 125QR subscription on monthly basis!
My BB is Bold 9780 & I have wireless connection at home. But Qtel is still charging me for DATA ACCESS!
thanks for your help :)
The 3- 7 i think they were some applications update
better use wifi in home so you wont be charged next time. now it also depends on the hand set BB9780 detects if there is wifi around it doesnt connect to BB internet but connects to wifi. in others you need to check the settings
Press on the BB logo key for few seconds
you will get screen showing which applications are running
then you go to each application press the bb logo key scroll down and close them one by one.
The only five applications browser, BBM, messages, phone, home they are always logged on so you leave them. Then you might have set some auto push notification like facebook or twiter or some other news or weather they are auto you can close them.
Access data limit means when you download files from bbm (big files sound or video clip) or any other applications from bb world or email attachments. There is an access limit if you exceed that you will be charged.
