I was wondering if I could get your guy's help since you all seem pretty knowledgeable about verizon and the "Quick2Net" service they offer.

I'm gonna try to walk you guys through what happened, since it's totally confusing. Okay well I live in Canada and I am with Telus mobility (Canadian cell phone company). They are pretty much like verizon but a Canadian version. Anyways. I bought an i700 from a buddy of mine probably 2 months ago. I was told by Telus that I cannot activate this phone without a data plan. BUT, I went online and activated it anyways and now I am on the exact same voice plan I was on before (no data at all). So, eventually I found the pocket pc 2003 upgrade verizon had put out for it's i700 customers. I downloaded it, and installed it just fine. THEN, I noticed that when I turn my phone on or off, it does not have the old "Telus" logo's, it now has "Verizon" logo's everywhere. I called Telus and they said it's just software related and not worry, I am still on with Telus's network and everything is fine. So, a couple days later I was playing around with my i700 and I found that I got onto the internet using something called "Quick2Net" where it dials #7772 (There was already a username and password pre-programmed after I installed the pocket pc 2003 update). I was pretty amazed I could get on the internet because Telus told me that if I was not on a data plan, I could not get on the internet. Anyways, so here I am on the internet with Verizon's "Quick2Net" service, however, remember that I am in Canada. I only used it maybe 2 or 3 times because I did not want to get charged money by Telus for using internet on my phone. I called Telus and they said they have no indication on there system that I was using internet and that there has been absolutely no data activity on my phone. I even talked to a couple Telus people in person and they were like "keep it quiet, I think you have free internet".

So my question to you guys is, what the hell is going on? Am I getting on Verizon's "Quick2Net" internet service while being in Canada and not being charged? I don't think verizon can really do anything because they have none of my information. Anyways, do you guys think I just lucked into getting free internet?

I don't typically use it much though, I have a wi-fi card.
