Im interested as i think i might get another....

I am on o2 and have a T68i.....this is saving me money with free sms.

But i am considering also getting an orange contract for 2 reasons, first is Orange SPV (Its pretty amazing, REAL Web access and MMS Messenger) AND orange will let you have 10mb of GPRS for just £6 so that should last a month easily.

Do u think its silly having 2 phones? can anyone see my view point?

I'd not heard that about limitin the WAP access, not happy about it! 'Till recently I had 2 Voda contracts, an O2 contract, and my Genie payt sim, but i cancelled the Voda contracts. I'm gonna cancel the O2 one and will probably get an Orange one for GPRS, MMS etc soon

Oops sorry bout that, 'twas suppose to be for another thread! I have 2 phones from different providers and i can say that it's ok. One sp already charges for gprs while the other still does not. I get more free sms and cheaper calls from the sp that charges for gprs though. Those reasons at least justify why i got 2 phones. :-)

Please could you let me know more about this. I'm on orange, and pay £15 for only 5mb. These were the only prices I could find on the website http://www.orange.co.uk/talkplans/gprs/costs.html

Apart from the rubbish WAP only Access Pack for £4 that won't let you send and recieve Email!

i called today about MMS for voda users.. only available today for those using 'purely' Voda (as in not CPW Voda) and therefore can use Vodafone Live!..

as for those who are on Voda under CPW, we hafta wait until Nov. 1 before it's ready..
