Thanks Vanja for the input, I wish T-Mobile had an unlimited data package bolt on for PAYG instead of the £1 per day web and walk - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vanja Sudar" <vanja@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 8:41 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Phone contracts with O2 | Hi, | | As far as I can remember and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but | Chris is on o2 pay as you go, not a contract. I certainly don't have any | problems with o2. Have been with them over a year now. I certainly can use | my own email server, can go to any website, can use other programs like IM + | with no problem at all. GPRS is slower way of accessing the internet through | your phone via GSM, as with 3g it is a lot faster. The only slight problem | with o2, as Jacky mentioned is that if you want to find out how many minutes | or text messages you have, you have to contact their customer services and | actually talk to someone and it is not automated like on most if not all the | other providers. O2 also has unlimited data package for £7.50 per month. | Well I say unlimited, but they say that their fair usage policy means that | they limit you to 250 mb per month. | | HTH. | Vanja | http://www.sudar.co.uk | http://mashupradio.net | MSN/windows live messenger: sudar23@xxxxxxxxxxx | AIM: vanja121 | Skype: vanja121 | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 5:59 PM | Subject: [access-uk] Phone contracts with O2 | | | > Hi all | > | > O2 seem to be the only provider offering the N82 on contract.
