MessageYes Darren, as I said there is a fair use policy. Unless you are on a 
lot though I think you'd be okay. I have unlimited and use mine quite a bit and 
haven't been charged yet. It costs me an extra fiver per month and if I was 
using dial up I'd run up a bigger bill than this.

  hi,

  you should be careful though when the network says unlimited, it's always 
capped somewhere it's just that it looks good from a sales point of view.

    I don't really think there is much point in people from different parts of 
the country arguing over which network is the best. T-Mobile works for Steve 
and Vodafone works for Darren, this just goes to prove that it depends where 
you are and you (Carol) should make a judgement based on where you live and not 
on which network someone on this list prefers. I've used most of the networks 
in the past and have found that the ones which give me the best coverage are 
Virgin, and Vodafone who I am currently using. I used to use T-Mobile and even 
though I believe they use the same masts or whatever as Virgin, I found I got 
droppeed connections more than with Virgin, so I imagine there is a lot more to 
it than simply the number and position of masts.

    I am perfectly happy with Vodafone for signal strength, coverage and value 
for money, but someone living a mile down the road may find them useless.

    I think we've probably only succeeded in confusing poor Carol!

    Carol, I think if you have a SIM Only or free phone contract you get the 
whole data bundle, whether or not this is free or extra to your monthly 
allowance depends on which contract you decide to go for if any. A lot of 
networks now have unlimited access with of course a fair use policy. This of 
course costs a little more than the average contract, but it may be a better 
deal than paying each time you dial up. This of course will depend on how often 
you are going to dial up and for how long.
