Unfortunately it's no longer available anyway.

Fortunately - I have it

O2 offer the best gprs charges around.

I left t-mobile because they were charging 0.75p per kb. Do the math and it's £7.50 per mb, so 02's rates are very good.



You are wrong!!

If you look correcly u will find that T-Mobile charge £5.00 for 3Mb and £3.00 there after for each MB

GPRS charges full stop are over priced

Here in Canada, on Fido, its around $15 per 500K.... which is around 6 pounds...
0.3 cents per Kbyte for "GPRS pay as you go".
Your rates sound pretty good...



$0.03 per KB is right, however its only $5.00 for 500k/b not $15! and $25 for 500 MB's. The real clincher though is $50.00 for unlimited!!! yikes.

Oh boy oh boy! I thought my $0,6 per MB were too expensive (other networks have it round $0,25)

I still got my txts but the gprs is right out the window!:evil: Had my email scheduled to check every 15 mins... before i realised i was being charged i'd used a shedload of credit lol

did you go over ur topup date? if so it could take a day or 2 for o2 to reset your free txts
