T720 + Free Mobile Web + mobile.msn?!?!?

[TicalWRX]

I was just "surfing the web" on my T720 using the free waptunnel access and I have yahoo as my homepage. I did a search in yahoo for something and mobile.msn came up as a link. I click on it and was brought to the page. Then when I clicked on the games link in mobile.msn the phone started dialing an 866 number. I quickly hung up so as not to get charged. Does anyone know if we verizon users can access mobile.msn via waptunnel at no charge? and what is that 866 number? does any of this cost anything put airtime? Thanks.

yeah but what about any charges from mobile.msn.com? even though i was using the waptunnel the phone was about to dial an 866-xxx-xxxx number to access the link i had clicked on.

it is actually pretty neat function. any number usually with 8**, like 800 or 888, is a toll free number. the wap tells your phone to dial the number to hear something. i checked a wap site for top 10 music, and when i pushed enter on the song, it dialed a number (8**) and i heard the song on that number, then it took me back to the wap page i was on. normal charges apply. data (web) airtime, call airtime. and longdistanace charges (if it is not a toll free number) (and if you get free long distance, who cares)

Don't click on the link if you don't want it to dial, if you want to access mobile msn just goto mobile.msn.com

Forgot to mention that since it's a toll free call youre not gonna pay for it, it just uses up your minutes which you're already doing using the mobile web function
