But the way how they told me so doesn't get me very trustful.... I waited for about 5 minutes to get the answer.... and the arguments were quite... hm.... I was not sure if they really understood my question.
Well, they probably understood at least a little bit, since they haven't asked you to contact your phone manufacturer or to reset your phone...

I tested with my operator, Orange, and it works like described by Swisscom. I thing it must be the same for Swisscom.

Who decides? Good question. I compared my bill with my log file from the FoxyTag server, and it seems that sessions opening/closing is made a bit randomly... FoxyTag is not able to modify it. Like when you browse the web or the wap, each click is a new connection, and it is your operator that decides if it is a new session or not. But since I pay only a few centimes / trip, I do not really care.
