Wow! Great tip mate. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Even thought it connected, I was not able to browse via my Itouch.
I have used this trick as soon as i got my symbian phone. If it doesnt work….reconnect until you see the wifi signal on your touch. It sometimes takes excessively long to authenticate.
will i be charged fees at my cell phone company?
Around the same as you would if you were browsing with your phone. Depends on your plan.
