Rogers + GPS

[bling_blingg]

Hey I have a question, Does the access point "Rogers Internet" cost money when you use it for your GPS? And if not, how do I recreate it because I accidentally deleted the access point; do I have to call my service provider and ask for instructions??

Rogers internet uses real internet, stay away. use go rogers. Better yet get $7 unlimited wap browsing and use go rogers as access point for all apps that need internet connection.

so if you have the $7 unlimited you can use go rogers? for the GPS?
and you won't get charged for the data? but doesn't the gps download data?

I don't know guys, i just got the TomTom 6 working on my N95-4 from rogers, and got rid off all other garbage that rogers put on my phone, seems to work fine and somewhat better than nokia maps

May I ask you how? Did you manage to make it use internal GPS?

[Bartmanekul]

Hmm, will there follow a link to an ebay page now, with the tomtom patch being sold? Perhaps not now I have said it ;)

Im just suspicious. 2 first time posters, posting on an old thread that has little to do with Tomtom (when theres dozens of threads that do), and the first non poster said nothing about having it working on the internal GPS....

You _have_ _to_ actually PHONE Rogers and tell them to disconnect (block) you from ALL Internet access.

If you don't do that AND you do use the Internet it IS your fault - and you will be charged. Most apps. will try to connect and some can't be shut off but if you get yourself blocked then they can not charge you, if you don't get yourself blocked your taking a chance a getting a bill well over a few hundred dollars.

I'm a little late in replying to this post. You can phone Rogers and have them block internet access to the Internet via their servers, just phone them. I had a similar experience with my new N 97 and I was setting up my Telus Email account which I left open and recieved a bill for over $40. I phoned Rogers immediately and they credited my account. They will probably only do that one time as a courtesy.

I'm with Rogers too. I absolutely hate them. 500mb of usage for $35.

If you don't have a data plan it's $0.15 for every KB of usage. You should delete your access points if you don't have a data plan. That will prevent any data being used.
