I got a 1 meg plan on this phone so that we could do limited web stuff, but I'm using up to 100k or more just with these accidental button presses.

You can "lock" the browser so that you will have to enter the unlock code to access it. Under security go to "lock applications" and pick browser. You will have to know the unlock code. I believe the default is 12345....let me know if that helps.
