    Had a similar problem with my contract n73 - it was running up a bill for using the 3g internet (which wasnt free on my tarrif) - stopped it doing it by:

    Turning off the option to update the phones date and time from the network provider ***edit*** is under date and time settings as "network operator time"

    fixed it for me anyways. I cant guarantee thats what is doing it on yours tho. Other option is to manually remove the 3g and wap o2 connection settings from the phone - you'll be able to recieve mms, but it cant connect to something it doesnt have the settings for!

    Did you wipe the memory of the handset? It is possible it was configured to automatically get emails of something like that. (Maybe delete your connection, what ever is connecting might prompt you to connect).
