Yeah, online then phone then in person Luckily, the phone one is meant to be done by the store manager/deputy manager from what we've done, so you'll get to know them

Usually quite friendly, so lets hope they say yes

Can you advise what excessive use is and why someone cannot use the cellphone as a modem? Seems just as cost-effective for O2?

Excessive use isn't a defined answer, it's like downloading non-stop for several days, they'd get pretty pissed off and call you and ask you to stop.

In terms of the modem usage, of course its not just as cost effective! Think how much more bandwidth you'd be using, it's just not a viable option.

So no, you can't use it as a modem, we do wireless broadband for that.

I'll get a Voda prepaid when I get to Germany this summer right away, so I am able to make calls in no time there.

^ is it still 50% normal tariffs? or have they changed it so it's more in line with Orange and 3s staff tariff?

IMO, 3s staff tariff is awesome.. free phone, free calls, free texts up to x amount a month....

James I pretty much doubt that btw all I need is a Sim Only next,
Vodafone can give me what ive got now for £15 or if I haggle im sure they'll give me that £12.50 deal again.

if you don't ask you never get.
exactley what they told me on there eforum

Ressy, Good choice, although they do have 02 over there I haven't a clue what there plans are like on Prepaid though,
maybe you could shop around when you go there im sure the staff could advise you of a good PAYG deal

btw Ok so rang up and got a interview for Thursday 5pm with some dude called Tom! so i'll try and make up longer answers this week, i'd much prefer a instore interview though!

cos they can't judge what your like over the phone in 20mins
in the meantime I hope the NHS get back to me about my Web Support application

I'm on £20 a month, 1000 minutes, 1000 texts and unlimited calls or texts (you can change every three months) on saturday, sunday and monday (it used to be called long weekends), plus either 75MB of data or BlackBerry unlimited, on a 12 MONTH contract, but they price the phone as if it's a £35/month 18-month phone. Plus you can upgrade at month 11, like I'm doing tomorrow

Or, sim only version of the same tariff, £10 a month


Thats pretty unbeatable really.

I prolly would have used to have used all my texts, but now I don't. But the best bit is not having to worry about going over it, cause I can't


Also, with O2 if you now send a blank text to 21202 they text you back with how much you've got left for the month

@Daedalus85
The text to 21202 is a great idea - saves me logging on for the same info

What phone are you upgrading to?

Well I tried getting an N82 today (to sell) and I'll have to wait till Monday it seems, oh well a few days can't hurt

And when you say by data, do you mean wap? Cause yes, in the text they send you theres a wap link to see more about it.
