    Looking at the O2 website it said that WAP is free when a Blackberry tariff is taken

    Wow, where did you see that? I disabled WAP on both my phone and my wife's to avoid getting charged.

    On this web page, towards the bottom, it explains about WAP charges:

    http://blackberry.o2.co.uk/faq_bis.asp

    "On the BlackBerry Internet Solution from O2 Unlimited tariff UK usage of O2 Active/WAP is free. If you are accessing the Internet on non RIM manufactured handhelds such as the Xda Exec, these devices don't use the BlackBerry browser and web on O2 Active/WAP access is treated as Mobile Web data, charged at £1.00/MB inc VAT. "

    "The BlackBerry Internet Solution Unlimited tariff is built to provide unlimited UK BlackBerry and O2 Active (WAP) data, and is more than sufficient for a high usage BlackBerry customer (excessive usage terms apply).
    You may get additional data charges if you use non-BlackBerry data services. This could arise from:

    · Using your BlackBerry handheld as a modem with a laptop. This kind of data usage is charged at £1.00/MB inc VAT.
    · Accessing the Internet on non RIM manufactured handhelds such as the Xda Exec. These devices don't use the BlackBerry browser and web access is treated as Mobile Web data, charged at £1.00/MB inc VAT."

    Meh, you're right, I might have to reactivate the services... except I deleted them from the mobiles :p Oh well, I have BB coverage where I am, I'll look into re-enabling WAP when I have time.
