So there is NO way to use my free minutes browsing the "real internet" for free? |

I have never heard of the £10 charge and orange never told me there was one. as far as i am concerned I am using my free mins to browse the internet but I will give orange a call to find out. |

On Orange, you are definitely charged a higher rate when you go above 14.4Kbps.
The reason for this is that the maximum a normal CSD GSM channel can handle is 14.4Kbps.
When using HSCSD, you're actuallying using multiples of these channels to get your speed.
It used to be that you got charged 25p per minute for anything above 14.4Kbps |

It's worth noting that I tried this on a dial-up connection when I first got my phone. Orange sold me a plan which included free minutes, so I could live with the slow dial-up as it wasn't costing me anything. Or so I thought.
When my bill came through it turned out that I'd been charged for the time I was connected on the PC, because the free minutes were "voice minutes"...
Definately worth checking out your plan! |
