I dunno. To each his own, I guess. I don't really see a point into getting into any form of heated ethics debate over this.
I just don't see it as being illegal because you're paying Verizon for use of the phone service (and with that, a simple modem to dial into computer systems.) Then, if you want, you can pay Verizon extra for their paid service which gives you access to their WAP network (hence, the Verizon WWW service).
Instead, you're using your phone to connect to a Yahoo! WAP server, for example. It's not really a hack or a crack or anything illegal. It's just finding those people (and companies) who are providing you free access to the info on their servers (and providing access to their servers via a mobile phone).
It's like lets say you bought a modem from AOL (just pretend

) but then you used MSN's dial-up service because it was cheaper.
