Default [OT] GPRS

I would appreciate that too. Ive spent a few moments looking through the 02
site just now, and it seems that the current 'advertised' SIM PAYG gives 1Mb
free mobile access pm, with a £10 p m top up.
Looking through some of my 02 mailings with the bills over the past couple
of years, theres one leaflet saying that the 'current' 02 free access to WAP
& GPRS for some users was going to stop in 2004 and they would be charged at
a rate of £2.35 per Mb after a free monthly allowance (rather like the old
Genie SIM that gave unlimited texts but now O2 have put a 300/month cap (yes
my daughter uses them all!)
I'll get on to 02 tomorrow , as I have to get my SIM GPRS enabled just to
set the thing up! I'll ask at what the current GPRS rate is...


I'd be interested to Phil. If I was to be downloading my usual array of
synops I should think I'm looking at quite a number of Megs!

eg: 6am synop 923k


I've knocked together a web page and emailed the URL to the five who showed
an interest. I am more than happy to let others have the link if they will
email me.
