Ekit sim and data usage - watch out!

[Bossman]

I was wondering why my Ekit credit disappeared so quickly when I used it a few months ago. I just had time to look into it, and the first 3 lined below explain why. LOL! I certainly did not know that my sim was data activated and I did not intentionally use data. I had the sim in my Nokia E63 and it looks like it automatically got the settings or so. It would not make sense for me to intentionally use data at these absurd rates. Especially since I had a local sim in Nigeria with excellent data rates and packages. I was only in Ghana on a 2-hour layover. I do not plan on wasting my time contacting Ekit as it likely will not get me anywhere.

Just a warning to others.
