Hi,I'm new here..but i just had a "little" question about something..let me state the case first...

currently,I have my Audiovox 8910 hooked up with Bell Mobility's prepaid plan and I have the the "Web N' Text" Bundle(100 text mgs,unlimited 1X web) for $8.00 a month...yesterday I came across "Opera Mini" Browser (http://www.opera.com/products/mobil...amini/campaign/) and installed it on my phone,it works great..but upon reading the F.A.Q at opera mini's site it said the following...

Quote:

Do I have to pay for Opera Mini?No, Opera Mini is free. Depending on how you get Opera Mini, your provider may charge you for the actual download.When surfing with Opera Mini, Web pages are optimized and compressed before being sent to your phone. This means that even though your mobile provider may charge you for the data which is transferred to your phone, the amount of data transferred is significantly less than it would normally be, making mobile surfing cheaper.

so in other words..my question would be.."if i cancel my web n' text plan and use opera mini instead of the bell browser,wouldi have to pay bell anything or would i be paying anything period?

IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME...IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Based off of reading what it said from the software documentation, I would say that you would still need the web package. Basically what the doc is saying if you were on a pay per kilobyte package, the program will compress the files smaller making your transfer of kbytes smaller, hence making your over all monthly download sizes smaller. Therefore you would have a cheaper bill. Since you have unlimited, it wouldnt really matter for you in price but would be nice for fast download times.
