It ends today on 02, is anyone going to carry on using it, or send MMS's at 40p a go?
Anyone know how much gprs will be on pay-go?

normal wap is still free on O2 payg.
I only activated GPRS yesterday on PAYG and the bloke said the price woule be 2p per page (strange, since it should be charged per kb or mb) and it was free till 4th Feb, I haven't been charged as yet, will let you know if i do.

Can't get MMS to work so can't answer that!

• For the Online Talkalot tariff: Monday to Friday Daytime is 7:30am to 7:30pm. Weekend is midnight Friday to midnight Sunday. Monday to Friday Evenings is all other times.
• Based on a 24-hour cycle from midnight to midnight. At 00:00 every day your charge for standard calls and calls to other O2 mobiles will revert to 25p for the first three call minutes on that day. Calls initiated before 00:00, which continue beyond this time are charged at the previous day's rate.
• Once you have changed to Online Talkalot the calls counting towards the three minutes start from the time you actually change tariff, not from the beginning of the day that the request was made.
• All call charges are subject to change. All prices include VAT.
• Calls rates quoted by the minute, charged by the second and rounded up to the nearest penny.
• Minimum call charges for Data Calls (including Mobile Internet calls) 5p, weekday voice calls 5p and weekend voice calls 2p.
• Standard calls are defined as O2 mobile voice and data calls made in the UK to UK standard fixed-line numbers (normally starting with 01 or 02) other than premium, UK and International Directory Enquiries and value added services.
• Unused calltime credit carries forward and will not expire provided the calltime balance is topped up by £10 within 90 days of the date you last topped up.
• To receive your free text and WAP allowance you will need to top up by at least £10 once every month before your allowance start date. Your allowance start date is the date of the month after your first top up. If you fail to top up in the month before your allowance start date text and WAP will become chargeable. If this happens and you subsequently top up you may have to wait up to 48 hours for your free allowances to start again and your allowance start date will be adjusted to the date of the month after your subsequent top up. You must keep your airtime in credit in order to use your free text and WAP allowances.
• Free text, WAP or data call allowances are limited to the levels outlined in your chosen tariff and are valid for up to one month from your allowance start date. Unused text and WAP allowances cannot be carried forward into the next month.
• If you do not top up before your next allowance start date, on that day text and WAP will become chargeable. You will still be able to use any outstanding credit to make calls for up to 90 days after your last top up date but text and WAP calls will be charged at standard rates. Your service will be disconnected if you have not topped up for 90 days.
• If the service is disconnected you can only be reconnected by calling Customer Care.
