Thanks for your reply Brent. And no, I didn't figure you worked for them. LOL

What kind of app am I using to access it? That's is what I would like to know. And can I disable it?

I bought this 3G new, 1.5 years ago and can't remember if they put in a SIM card from my old AT&T phone.

What I also don't understand is that the phone is usually sitting right next to my wi-fi, so why does it use GSM when it's so close to a wi-fi connection?

Thanks Brent.
