Background Data Question

Hey Guys

I just bought my new Motorola XT5 and i have a question or two about background data

If i download something from the market with background data turned on (BTW i am on a pre-paid optus simcard) and with my wifi connected does it waist money on my prepaid?

Because today when i started up my phone i didnt know that the background data was on and i wasted $22 of my pre-paid card so it just got me thinking does turning on background data while connected to wifi still waist my credit when i download free apps from the market?

Thanks BLaZE252

if your connected to wifi, the data is not counted on ur mobile account, it is athe the router end ( p.c. etc) but there is a free app called 3g watchdog which monitors ur 3g mobile data downloads, you can even set limits etc.
task killer is another good app that lets u know whats running in background.
how are you finding the live clock widget, mine is never the right time it is as if it doesn't refresh very often...
