WIFI and mobiles

Hi I've just got a new phone and i can access WIFI on it. If i connect to the WIFI i have at home and use the internet do i pay anything on my mobile phone bill? Sorry if this seems a really dim question but i don't have any internet on my phone contract but have a wireless BT hub at home.
Hope this makes sense.
Sorry for being dim.

  • No you dont pay for using wifi, just make sure that when you are connecting to the internet at home you are connecting via the wifi and not via your network!
  • Just a word of caution, connecting to the internet via wifi at home and hotspots like Mcdonalds is great(especially when abroad) but if for any reason the wifi connection drops out most phones try to reconnect via the phone network. Even just a few seconds will cost 50p with voda for example.

    Its not often mine drops out but it has happened.
