I seldom use gprs or 3g connection unless I need to demonstrate to friends how it works on my mobile for few minutes. I normally use DSL or wifi for communication. Remember, they are both free . oh well at least you have already for monthly premium.

Cheers folks

Dosn't matter what method is used... if something is blocked, it will be blocked through all modes of connecting to the internet (except of course, if you use a proxy to bypass the censorship filters).
