i used to get unlimited gprs from o2 payg. but now when i really need it im paying £4/mb with Tescos but it seems to cost 50p just to get a map and everything is amazingly expensive - only useful in emergencies. the option for me is tmobile unlimited bolt on to the contract but that has 3 problems: 1) phone companies are not trustworthy to bill correctly and this offer is only for pay monthly ...[k750 txt limit]... |

2) im only in phone signal half of the year; the rest im at sea 3) tmobile rate not great (divide cross network by monthly and its MORE expensive than pay as you go!
so,
any ways round this? |

Do you mean to say that you pay 4 british pounds per mb. That is very expensive. Here we can get unlimited GPRS, not 3g etc., for two and a half british pounds per month.

Yes, that's right and it's no joke.
The anti competition here is unbelievable, the major players just agree to not compete. As soon as anyone starts to lower prices they mysteriously stop;
EasyMobile, previous o2 GPRS rates.
Most people in the UK are paying probably 30p/min average, being on contract and not having the intelligence to cut through the rates.
The best rate I've found would be £7.50 a month but to get that you need a £25/month contract that is rubbish value for money.
The next best thing is pay as you go, and I think the lowest I've seen for this is about £0.59 per mb, 400mb for £52 - see:
http://www2.orange.co.uk/serv[....]197602&tab=2&mid=1137070319475
(the bottom option is actualy for 1000mb)
but the crucial thing there is I think they pocket what you don't use.
The phone calls are about 40p/min for cross network calls (that's most calls)! So that's rubbish too.
And it wasn't long ago that o2 were giving GPRS free on pay as you go. |

That is absolutely shockingly expensive. It would have to be an emergency.
Regarding t-mobile. I can't see how they can go wrong with charging you £7.50 as a flat fee.
But as JC says, on PAYG the charge is capped at £1/day. Not bad. I don't think any other operator beats that.

I'd say we, in India are, fortunate. Unlimited GPRS is cheapest in india and us.
For four and half dollars or two and a half pounds we get unlimited GPRS. For data capped plans charges are 1 pound per 8 MB.
Cross n/w call rates are one pound per 100 mins. on an average.

I have to say, free unlimited GPRS on pay as you go sounds very impressive.
Of course, if it's part of a monthly contract it's not really free is it?
And those `free` minutes? I think if you divide your minutes by your monthly cost pay as you go is cheaper, especially considering if you don't use your minutes or overuse! |
