I finally broke down and bought a cell phone (a Motorola V235) to use for emergencies. I was playing around with it, and hit the keypad button with the Cingular logo on it. This apparently connects you to the internet, which is ***-expensive so I hit the hang-up button. Then I discovered that you can lock certain applications. What a great way to keep from inadvertently connecting to the internet. Or maybe not. Under Settings->Security->Lock Application, I locked WebAccess, MEdia Net (the Cingular keybad button, I think), and Web Sessions. This doesn't seem to have any effect. If I lock any of the other applications, I can't do anything without entering the unlock code. If I select MEdia Net, however, it attempts to connect to the innerweb and starts transfering bytes like they're going out of style--and it never asks for the unlock code. WTF?? :confused:
What's also curious is that I haven't received my activation code yet. It's a prepaid phone, and I have a zero balance, so I shouldn't be able to make any calls or connect to the innerweb at all yet, right?
