Is there anyway of using IRC on a mobile phone with wap enabled?


Mobile-> Nokia N73
Service Provider-> Aircel


If there is any way then what would be the charges ?

I use jmIRC. Mine is a company paid connection so I don't have answer for your other query :). I guess bandwidth required for chatting is nominal (< 10Kb/s)

The bandwidth required depends on the channel and network you're on. If you're on an empty channel, I don't think you'll use more than 10KB for an hour. With lots of people chatting, I guess that number will go up to around 100 KB for a couple of hours I guess. It's hardly anything really..
