TomTom Go 300 and Bluetooth

[beancounter]

I have now configured my TTG with my phone and currently taking advantage of the months free trial of "traffic". What I was wondering was whether my mobile is being billed after the latest information has been downloaded and is still showing a bluetooth connection?

Most GPRS usage is charged by traffic, not connection duration - you should be charged by a set amount per MB, which takes a while to get to 1MB using traffic, for example my setup used 159KB of traffic over a three hour drive, an I recon it saved me three hours in delays - check your tarif and small print over GPRS traffic as it can be expensive - I have never recieved a charge (yet) but check it anyway - Mike

I did a test on Orange, I downloaded a voice file, it cost £6.75
And it was one I already had didnt take very long at all

Was the charge for the voice or the GPRS usage? - Mike

Sorry late reply, it was for GPRS usage
