Look,if you use csd u get charged by time,if you use GPRS then you only get charged by traffic and that's all.Some operators charge you when opening a Gprs session but that's about it.They can't charge you every hour like you say cuz you are always on, connected.

This depends on the provider you're using, as I said before, in the Netherlands, Vodafone charges the time you're actually browsing, it's true, with GPRS you're always connected, but as soon as you start op your browser and start downloading content, they start charging. On Pay As You Go it costs 25 eurocents per 15 minutes. I don't know how much it is on a contract, I don't have a contract on Vodafone, only KPN and Orange.

@marly - so Vodafone is like Smart here in the Philippines. I use Smart sim (time-based gprs/3G) when i want to download heavy content & am prepared to go surfing for at least 30 mins. It's good value for money. But more often i browse very briefly via opera mini, to just take a peek at esato, for example, & in these cases i use the other provider, who charges per kb. Good to have both options  |

@chili :
You're right, having both options is perfect  ! That's why I have a Vodafone PAYG simcard, next to my contracts on KPN Mobile and Orange.
