Does it cost money to use Safari on the Touch?

Hey guys, I went to the apple store and played wit the touch for a little bit and i tried out the Safari feature and it was awesome, i was able to go to any site i wanted to without a problem, it just seems like its too easy, i kno the wifi is free but does the Safari cost money when u use it, is it like a phone that charges u for bytes transfered or w.e?

Dell, Windows XP

Some access points do charge. Apple Stores provide free wireless internet. Some public places do as well. Some (e.g. Starbucks, many large hotel chains) charge for internet access. There is no charge to use Safari +per se+. In some cases (Starbucks is like this) you can connect to the wireless access point (i.e. your IPT or laptop will show you as connected) but you need to open a browser for a page to pop up so you can pay for access.

There is a lising of free wifi access points here:

No.
Safari is only a web application on the Touch (or on your computer).

NO Man....

Its absolutely free - except for you having to pay your ISP for the use of their bandwidth....There is no charge to startup Safari and surf.

Well technically you are only paying for the ISP, surfing on the internet, there is no additional cost so yea.
