I shall try that later in the week. Would anyone consider a sweepstake on how long it takes me to set it up? I'd put my money on around 45 - 60 minutes, judging from past experiences with Orange. I'll annotate the expected saga, and report back. > Other PAYG providers who > offer data bundles can work out cheaper, though. But other PAYG providers won't connect to the internet via an iPhone. At least, O2 won't. MST

Thinking of getting on for my sister. Yes it will. However, it's wickedly expensive to even go near GPRS. I downloaded about half a dozen web pages last week, and chewed up my entire �20 balance. MST

I'd already decided not to get her an iPhone but it's good to know that info for the future. Ian -- Ian Robinson, Belfast, UK <http://www.canicula.com/wp/>

You should be able to set up Orange World <URL:http://www1.orange.co.uk/entertainment/OrangeWorld/OrangeWorldCosts. php> to cap your expenditure by day or week. Other PAYG providers who offer data bundles can work out cheaper, though. See also: -------------------8<------------------ 3. The Offer is subject to a fair usage level of 25Mb per day and is not to be used for other activities such as, non-Orange internet based streaming services, voice or video over the internet, instant messaging, peer to peer file sharing, non-Orange internet based video. Should you exceed this limit or if such use is detected, notice may be given and Network protection controls may be applied to all services which Orange does not believe constitutes mobile browsing. This may result in, at Orange's discretion, your inability to purchase the Offer, a reduced speed of transmission, suspension of data browsing services and/or suspension of your account. ------------------->8------------------ -- Andy Wingate <URL:http://www.sparse.net> I'm not nearly as think as you confused I am. |
