My phone is accruing charges for Mobile WAP sessions every four hours.
Telstra are unable to explain what application in the phone is doing this and so they have disabled the phone for all but Emergency Calls (even though I am still paying full amount of contract).
This is unsatisfactory to me but has stopped the Mobile WAP sessions!!!
I do not have an email account set-up nor do I have any other applications enabled.
Any help would be appreciated.
One reason could be that when you use your camera, you will incur data charges if the geotagging feature is enabled (position is on in camera settings), as it uses GPS and A-GPS.You can disable both of these in the settings of your Location services menu and then go to your camera settings and set the position setting to off.
Thanks for the help guys (he said sarcastically).
The problem turned out to be the "Homescreen" application provided by Telstra (the network provider). However Telstra were of no help at all - not even knowing it was their own application which was the problem.
The phone manufacturer (Sony-Ericsson) came up with the solution immediately I made contact with them. Turned the Homescreen function off and voila - no more problem.
Another example of Telstra's very poor performance and complete lack of service. No wonder they have an Ombudsman dedicated to the telecommunications industry.
Regards.
