Your network provider won't charge you for accessing via Wi-Fi, however the Wi-fi provider might!!

BT charge a monthly subscription for broadband, but using your N95 is included in this. Its up to you how you use your broadband.

Is Wifi the same was WLAN? Cos when i try to go online on my N95 it asks me how i want to connect and when I choose WLAN i have to enter my sky router CD Key. So I take it this is the same thing and vodafone wont charge me for doing it this way??

Hi,

Yes you're right.


If you want to take even more advantage of the wonders of the N95, get it unlocked so that you can add your own software inc. Voip!

does the N95 stream music? for example, if you go onto "shoutcast" and click one of the station links, does it play?

Can anyone recommend a VOIP service for the Nokia N95?

If I use skype on my N73 will I get charged for airtime usage as it uses the network?
And does the N73 have W/LAN wifi?

If you use Wi-Fi for skype then its free to call other skype users. You can make very cheap calls to phones worldwide through skype (see their website). Fring also allows IM on Yahoo and other IM clients.

If you use skype through your cell phone operator then you will pay data charges depending upon your contract. You are asked how you want to connect when Fring starts so it should be clear enough how you are connecting.

I suggest you consult the manual for N73 functions.
