Default Getting charged for internet

I currently have a unlimited social networking plan that includes BBM and facebook etc. But for me, I can browse the web without having wifi on.. I'm scared that I might get charged extra for browsing on that.
Will I get charged for this? I do not have any data plan (such as 100mb or 500mb).
Also, whenever I click on a link of a image, that image shows up. If I remember correctly, unlimited social networking doesn't let you open up images from the web that are linked through facebook.

Are you sure you only got the unlimited social networking plan? Or are you using a different browser such as Opera Mini? With OM there is a little loop hole around it where you can browse without getting charged.

I'd also like to know about this "loop hole".

Data isn't included on the Social Plans. If you browse the web over the carrier network, you will be charged.

I also am wondering if I will be charged for using the score mobile app with the social networking plan?

From what I've been told by my friend who works for Rogers, is that system sometimes allows browsing on the social plans, although this is not suppose to happen. In the end the customer does get charged for pay-per-use data on anything not related to the social networking plan.

ScoreMobile uses data. If you use it on a Social Plan, you will be charged.
