Hi, I have just recieved a ipod for my birthday. It has WiFi etc, but I know nothing about it, am am struggling a little to find out all the ins & outs. If I connect to the net, how will I be charged?? I have GPS e'mail & all the rest of it but i dont want to run up large bills, without realising it. Anyone got some advice please

So you really have a Touch and not an iPhone? If so, your cost for wi-fi could be £0 if you just use wi-fi in the home or maybe £10/month with a contract to hot-spot provider like The Cloud.

What amcluesent posted is (as far as I am aware) correct - the iPod Touch uses any available WiFi signal to connect to the internet, so if you have broadband at home and have a wireless router, you should be able to cnnect there; if out and about, if there is a WiFi hotspot nearby, your iPod should hook onto that. If it is a free WiFi hotspot, then you won't pay a penny (Starbucks are good apparently, and McDonalds if equipped in your area!); if it's a chargable hotspot then you'll have to pay whatever the service provider charges.

The iPod touch only uses Wifi. As a result, it wont cost you anything. Just connect to your home Wifi and it will act exactly as your laptop/desktop does. When you're out and about, you might be able to connect to hotspots such as The Cloud Wifi, but they will more then likely ask you for a credit/debit card as they charge you a fee.
