Hi,

I am interested in the SE k750i on O2 200 tariff.
But found out that only 200kb gprs data are inclusive with O2 200 tariff.

After that 1MB is 2,38 GBP!

How much MB do you need to check email per month?
How many email accounts do you check?
How many emails do you receive per month?

Did I get it right, email will only be read on mobile, not deleted from the server?
(I need to receive them on PC too.)

Any suggestions for a better tariff/network?
I like to stay with the SE k750i.

Thanks,
JanMartin

hi, i've found that orange have the best prices for GPRS. Am on payg and spend £4 a month for a 4mb bundle, as soon as it runs out you can buy another bundle !

You can also buy unlimited access for a day for just £1 !!

what tariff is that orange bundle?

I might just get an orange sim for gprs use as i do tend to use quite a bit for a month!

free access for £1? is that correct?

beeb,

Its on any orange contract and PAYG tarrif.

However if you are on a monthly contract you can also buy larger monthly bundles:

Am on PAYG and apart from the 4mb bundle for £4, I can also buy unlimited access for a whole day for just £1. Its worth buying an orange PAYG sim just for that. The sims only cost £1 from the orange website

I use around 30 MBs per month but I have a P910i and that means increased consumption cuz of Opera and big attachments. I have a 3$ subscription that already includes 10 MBs, every extra MB being 30 US cents. But that's cuz i use 3G regarding data transfers while using 2.5G for voice.
I find it very, very cheap

Wow... You guys are really lucky, you have a wide variety of plans to choose from and the data rates are relatively cheap compared to those here in Singapore. Sigh... I'm a pretty heavy user and it really sucks having to fork out so much every month.

GPRS is way too expensive in the UK... In South Africa we pay around US35cents/MB and that is out-of-bundle. Bundle's are are much cheaper.
