Hi,
I know there have been posts about this in the past but I couldn't find anything from the last few months. I've got a Nokia pay & go on o2 and in about the last week it's started logging itself into the internet while not in use, and the first I know about it is when I get a message saying I've been charged for it. I'm pretty sure I haven't got any third party apps installed so it must be o2's own software doing it - how do I switch this off, and how did I unwittingly sign up for it in the first place?
Tbanks,
Chris

Yes, switch it to off to never allow a connection to data or when needed will only give data when you check emails or open the internet browser yourself.

I'm not seeing that exact combination - I go into Settings / Connectivity then the relevant option looks like it could be Packet Data; once there, the options are Packet Data Conn. (currently "always online"), Packet Data Settings (seems to be config rather than on/off) and HS Packet Access ("enabled").
[EDIT] I take it turning off one or both of these would do it (bearing in mind I don't usually need the internet from my phone)?

Just disable it completely if you don't intend using data but you can set individual access levels in the separate apps for internet/email etc
