Hi Guys,

I am going to the UK for 15 days and I will need to be checking my mail on a regular basis while there. If I am not wrong I will be charge a lot extra using my Swedish sim card to use GPRS on the UK networks.
Is that right??

I have two phones SE Z600 and Nokia 8310. Is it easy to just get a sim to use while I am in the UK just to use with GPRS? Witht he phones I have who in the UK offers the best service (In the London area). What are the prices like per Kb? I just run a test at home and it takes me around 300,000 bytes to check my mail online

Any info or advice will be appreciated.

Cheers

Richi

Using your existing service, it will be damn expensive, your best ides is to get a O2 Onlne SIM, top it up and use free WAP on it! You get 300 minutes and also 300 free text messages! The Best!
