Mobile phone Internet help please

Hello,I have just bought a new phone k800i. I use two PAYG Sim cards,my new 02 one which had about £5 of credit on it and my old Orange one which I top up regulalry.

I decided to use the 02 sim card just to surf the web,as I have never used mobile internet (shocking isnt it!) So I connected up and searched google,went on so many game/video and music sites downloading before my PAYG credit ran out.....so about 10 minutes :p

Its just dawned on me tho even tho im on PAYG mobile and my phone credit on 02 has now ran out is it possible I would get charged anything else for downloading or if by any chance ive subscribed to something on the mobile web by accident when downloading games ect?

Also if I decided to top up would I then maybe get charged?

Lastly......stupid amatuer question like the rest.......Can your mobile phone get viruses.....seeing as I use two sim cards at times I wouldnt want it to affect my everyday sim card.

Thanks for listening!
