I use my cellphone sometimes to surf the net and visit the sites I normally visit because sometimes my mom/brother is busy using the computer or I'm lazy to go upstairs where it's really hot just to surf the net.
I pay for it but it doesn't matter, the electricity I use on the net is almost equivalent to the price I pay for surfing the net.
Do use your cellphone for internet or you'd rather not?

yes ,i use my own cellphone to surf the net almost every day.because i am a student now ,i have no enough money to buy one but i love surfing in computer, so if i have time ,i will go to my school for playing free computer games or chating with my friends ,but i have no time from Monday to Friday in general ,so these days, i often surf the net with my phone.

I do not use a cellphone but I do use my ipod touch . Since we have a wifi in our house so it is free and I can sit anywhere in my home and access the Internet easily with my iPod touch.

I have never used my cell phone to surf the net till date. The reason is because the charges are a little too much. And once I sit on the net I sit forever so I would just be blowing up a hell lot of money on that.
So I thought the best thing would be not activating it on my phone. But there are many of my friends who have the facility activated on their cell phones. So I have just tried it out and know what it is basically.

Yes I probably used my cellphone to surf the net specially when I'm on school. I used my cellphone to have research and to download games via internet. It is very portable to bring than a laptop. I also doing chat with my friends and also checking my yahoo and friendster account. So that I have a plan to purchased a latest version of PDA fone.

I wish I had that facility on my cellphone. But I always think that it is difficult to surf the Internet using the cellphone I always feel it is more comfortable surfing from my computer.
Anyways, it is a very good facility if we can use the Internet from our mobiles. I hope that I by a phone that allows me to surf the Internet very soon.

There's a lot of cellphones now that can be used as access to the internet anytime as long as you have load. LOL You can also download the software through the web or maybe it depends. because I only downloaded it from sony ericson's site because my phone is also S.E.

good for you that you don't have anyone to bother you when you're in front of the computer. LOL Unlike me, I have my mom and my brother that always shows up only after some hours after sitting in front of the comp. That's why my phone is the only way I have to visit mylot and surf the net.

Yeh.. i use internet on my mobile phone specially when i am out and there is a football match of MAanches united. Or if there is a cricket match going on. I use it to look at the score and the situation of the match. But normally just to surf i dont use much. My mobile has a WLAN, so it's free to me if I am at home. Sometimes I shut down my laptop and then if i feel lazy to switch it on again i surf on net.

I used to use my phone for surfing the net. I dont anymore because we have tons of bills and so we cancelled the data package we had so that we could save some money. I miss it but what can you do.

Sorry that you had to cancel the data package even though I don't know what it is. LOL

Sometimes, when I am out and I don't have my laptop with me and I'm sitting down in a Wi-Fi hotspot, I would use my phone to access the internet. I just use it to check my mail and the news then I cut the connection to save up on battery on my phone.
