Is any service provider offering unlimited GPRS in your country? It seems BPL Mobile is offering unlimited GPRS facility in India for £11 per month. Just imagine leaving your iPaq connected to the web permanently through T68 without worrying about data charges.
It costs a fortune to use GPRS in the UK. |

You reached the problem: GPRS is in any case democratic and the only way to interest people is to offer flat fee.
In Spain, where I live I would cost me 500 USD per month the way I use internet ( always connected )

In my country, Philippines, my service provider GLOBE telecom started offering free GPRS since Dec.1 up to the end of this month. They haven't figured out how to charge us. A flat rate will be nice.
cheers...
to laffen,
how would you compare our phone ( t68) with siemens SL45i ( with java midlets ). your honest opinion please, cause in some of our local forum and at the forum of club siemens they are downgrading our phone.

In Turkey 2 network operators are giving GPRS service for a year and it works well.It's also 50-60 times cheaper than GSM wap. Of course it's wap tariff. If you download web pages it will cost more. 1mb data transfer is charged 0.3 & and it nearly equals to 4 hour wap surfing.

Sorry, but I haven't touched a SL45i. Maybe someone else have?

hello randyc, I called up Globe Telecom last day, according to a Customer service representative I talked, starting feb.1, the standard fee for our GPRS cost only 100 pesos( $2-USD ) with unlimited access per month. Meaning, No matter how big the data you download you will charged only a hundred box.
That is great for T68 filipino users.
yahoooo!!!!

Unfortunately, this is not true. I asked for confirmation from a relative at Globe (She's a supervisor there) and she said that Globe is not yet sure how much to charge the GPRS users. They're extending the free use until 31 Jan 2002.
