Sounds like data charges.

erm, please could you expand?  I haven't really used the phone for much apart from free calls to numbers and receiving calls, can you expand and help me stop this.  Thanks

OK in your Menu goto Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Settings and untick MMS & Data.  This should prevent your phone from connecting to the internet and using up data charges.

Have you set up an email account on the phone, or running Timescape/Facebook/Twitter because each time these connect you will be using data.

thank you suze, can't believe it does this!  I phoned O2 and they said I'd been on the internet at 1/4 to 3 this morning!  so let me get this right - if i allow it to send and receive data, it will charge me for not doing anything? somebody mentioned automatic phone updates every 15 mins or so??
