Since late September, I've been getting a very irritating "nag screen" whenever I try to browse the web via 3's network on my Nokia E61. It basically tells me that browsing will cost me per MB and that I really ought to get an add-on; it looks like this:

I have Internet Max. If I click "continue and don't show me again for 1 day", it goes away and lets me browse for a session, but if I disconnect and reconnect, it's back within the same day.

In this form, it's an annoyance I can put up with. But what I can't abide is the way it's stopped all my IMAP email, RSS feeds, Google Maps and everything else that uses the packet data connection from working. I presume all the connections I make to any external server are being redirected to this page, and of course an email client can't click "continue".

Does anyone know a way of killing this screen off? The main use for my phone is IMAP email and not having it (except when I'm in a wi-fi area) renders the phone useless. It's utterly pointless, as I already have an internet add-on!

Yeah its pretty annoying. My email has stopped working (another issue), but it did used to work even when thi nag screen was on every hour. I think they'll only show it to web browser traffic, the email not working is probably not related to this.

Yep, I'm getting that screen too with pretty much every site I go on. Very annoying.

One of the most irritating things is the sheer amount of time it takes for the offending page to load. I presume it's because the site's being hammered by everyone using 3 all day long, but sometimes it can take up to thirty seconds before I'm able to click "continue". That's no good if I'm quickly checking something on the move!
