Guest Swampie Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 http://www.t-mobilepressoffice.co.uk/press...y-as-you-go.htm T-Mobile are bringing out a PAYG version of their Web'n'Walk bundle in August, where users are charged 0.73p per kb, but with a maximum charge of ?1 per day. Better than Orange's unlimited GPRS for ?1 a day as you don't have to enable the bundle for the day (it's automatic) and you could spend less than ?1 if your usage is low (less than around 1.3MB) It's also available for 3G devices - unlike Orange (their ?1 unlmited GPRS offer is 2G only, unavailable to 3G customers). The other interesting bit is: "It will also be available to pay monthly customers from 1st December." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sporkguy Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Competition is hotting up now, nobody had previously cared much for the PAYG sector in terms of data - first Orange with the unlimited bundle, now T-Mob. Things are looking good over at T-Mobile these days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Woah, that is just amazing! Question - can you port from a number from O PAYG to T-Mobile PAYG, or is that a service reserved for contracts only? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question - can you port from a number from O PAYG to T-Mobile PAYG, or is that a service reserved for contracts only? P Yeah, you can do that without a problem. People do similar things to get backdoor upgrades (old O contract to Virgin PAYG to new O contract in 38 days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest confucious Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Shouldn't there be a space between "with" and "web'n'walk ? Just a thought - we all know I never make typos and proof read all my posts perfektly... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought - we all know I never make typos and proof read all my posts perfektly... :D Just to add context (took a while to figure it out), you're referring to the T-Mobile webpage showing their Press Release about this, and they said "withweb'n'walk", missing out a space. I searched up and down the thread looking for it but couldn't see it! Found it in the end though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest confucious Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 How is 1.3MB better than unlimited exactly? They are both unlimited for ?1 / day but with T if you use less than 1.3Mb you get charged less than ?1 :D Having never used less than 1.3Mb in a day it wouldn't suit me! T is also beter because you don't have to "apply" for it each day, if you use it you get charged upto ?1/day if you don't use it you don't get charged - simple :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ah i see, maximum use made sound like ?1 was the upper limit :) However, in O's defence they allow VoIP, IM, Modem use etc.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swampie Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ah i see, maximum use made sound like ?1 was the upper limit :) However, in O's defence they allow VoIP, IM, Modem use etc.... :D For 2G only. You can't use the unlimited on a 3G account (won't activate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
