Guest eyecam Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I would recommend looking at the Self Serve option which would safe £3 per month on Web'n'Walk 200 I think (so just £16/£35 per month). Some risk that you might have to call the, but doing it from a landline bypasses the charges I believe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm running with the self serve and you really never have to call them. If you do need to speak to someone then you can email them in My T Mobile and they will call you back or sort it out on mail. 40Mb is plenty unless you download E mail attachments, just set it to donwload the text and then when your back on WiFi click the link in the mail and send/recieve again to get that essential / funny movie file :) Leaving Messenger on all day takes around 200Kb as far as I can tell but as someone elsem metions it hammers the battery.

Guest rockykabir Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I just spoke to T-Mobile. The guy was very helpful - makes a refreshing change from having to deal with the commission grabbing "3" helpline! Apparently - unless I misheard - I was told that I cannot start another contract without finishing my U-Fix tariff. The thing is, I don't really want to keep that number as I want to transfer another number from a virgin sim card. Maybe he thought I wanted to keep the number? Outta interest, has anyone got more than one T-Mobile contract? To pay the rest of the U-Fix off will cost me £21.80 anyway. But I might as well just give that sim card to someone to use (or I might use the off peak minutes anyway) and get started on this Web N Walk contract. Also, the pay upfront deal. The guy explained about how it works with the 12 month deal but he was unable to explain the system with 18 month contracts. Anyone have any ideas?

Guest Pondrew Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Outta interest, has anyone got more than one T-Mobile contract? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Two contracts here. Already had a Relax 200 contract which was 12months into the 18month term when Web N Walk with 12months half price came out. Couldn't resist and I've now got one Web N Walk 100 account and one Relax account, both of which I use to the full (well, the minutes anyway, haven't got near using the 40meg in a month yet!). Best thing is there's no charge on the Relax account for calling customer service so I don't need to worry about the self service 50p a minute charge on the Web N Walk plan.

Guest orangezorki Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Has anyone had a problem with myTmobile showing an incorrect remaining Data allowance. I think they must have set up my account incorrectly, as for every 1k that I use, about 10 gets deducted from my remaining allowance. - Really irritating as I don't know when I'll get charged for extra usage. (EDIT: It seems like it's only the remaining allowance indicator that's gone wrong - my last bill which ends recently shows the correct usage) Any suggestions?

Guest adudley Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 just for your infomation, about usage, my vario says its downloading aroung 500k for just the My Ebay page, thats half a MB. Also, I'm on the self service, then just call the INTERNATIONAL number from your phone, bypases the extra cost perfect, I've called a couple of times, just to chnage my number and add a bundle (the website was down) but after that, u dont need to call them, how good is tmobile's website compared to orange hey? its amazing, you can see your recent calls and everything, its gr8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have just checked T-Mobile's site for a friend who's going to get a vario. The prices have definitely gone up - Web&Walk400 is now selling for 41.25 per month for 18 months - this costs £82 more than the "12 months half price" deals that were possible recently. Ouch!

The previous 50% for 12 months then 50% for life was UNTIL you upgrade. Once you upgrade you lost your discount. You now get 25% off AND can upgrade after 18 months as normal and not lose your discount. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CupidStunt Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 If you are going to hammer your allowance for one day - get the vario unlocked and shove in an Orange PAYG sim. Then you can pay one pound for unlimited access until midnight that night. So you see Orange does have a purpose after all! Most people who are going to use a lot only do it on days they are away from their PC, so it is not a daily thing. You can also get a 'wind' sim from italy that (unbelievably) chares 20 euro for a gig access in italy - but more importantly 200 meg access while roaming (including 3G) - so once I manage to have one delivered i will post more.

Guest rockykabir Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Well now that T-Mobile is bringing out the unlimited GPRS plan, I guess bandwidth won't be much of a worry then ;) For anyone with the Wizard at the moment, how long does it go on for if you leave it on all day? (and how bout maybe with 30-50 mins talktime as well?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pierre626 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well for me I'm just gonna buy a Vario and T-Mobiles supposed new data plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gavinlilley Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 My contract ends soon and Im looking at getting a Vario and have the choice of... Web N Walk 200 with a free phone costing £28.50 per month. or Flext 30 with a £10 costing £22.50, add £7.50 / month for unlimited data. total of £30 a month. For an extra £1.50 I seem to get lots of free texts plus unlimited data. (Even though I have wireless connections at home and work) Do t-mobile drop the prices if you ask nicely? Is it better to call up or go into the store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
