I'm sorry if I weren't clear on the subject. I'm not talking about hacking into someones phone. I was talking about accessing the internet when not working on a desktop PC, but "on the road". Since I'm living and working in a densely populated area, there's an abundance of "open" access points to use, which is cheaper by far than any mobile access plan I know.
Thus my answer above "Rarely", since it's only in rare cases that I have to use my mobile to go online (as opposed to "want to"). Mobile phones, IMO, are for calling someone, and the odd text message.
