Default Question on streaming radio and wifi.

Hi all,
The Torch is my first BB with Wifi capability and I want to verify that if I'm connected to a wifi network and am playing radio (ie. TuneIn radio) I'm not paying cell charges?
Fyi I'm on the Telus network.
Thanks
Gary

When you're connected to wifi the wifi icon on your home screen will be high lighted. When not connected, the icon is greyed out.

I use slacker radio on (AT&T) all the time at school on their Wifi, about 20 hours a week. I tested it by turning off the radio and it still functions. Then I knew it was able to run on the Wifi only. I am sure someone on here knows of a way to verify what's running at the moment. I check my usage a lot and so far I have had know noticeble increase due to streaming on Wifi.

you're not paying since you're not using the TELUS network when you're on WI-FI.
so enjoy your music and give your wallet a break

If you really want to be sure you are on wifi, TuneIn Radio has a setting that allows you to specify that you don't want it to work, unless you are on a wifi connection.
