GPRS Costs

Could people from different countries post their GPRS cost. I'm interested is it expensive as in my country.
I live in Croatia. GPRS costs are about 1,5 EUR for 100kB of data. That sucks to me, if I want to use an opera browser, and an average web site has about 1MB, i will pay 15 EUR for it. It's f...... too much.

I live in Sweden and I have Telia as operator. I have 5MB included per month for approx 11EUR. Amounts over 5MB costs 0.0025EUR per kByte.

belgium, proximus i pay 0.5 euro for 100 kb but now i have it 2 months free 😃 😃 😃

if you are connected 1 houre, proximus wil disconnect you from the gprs net. it's a security!

greetzzz

There's already a post about that!! Please, use the SEARCH!! option.
doesn't matter how many times we say it.... does it?... 😞

I am from Mumbai... I am using Orange network...
For GPRS, they charged me Rupees 99/- for a month.

The two largerst providers in Moscow, Russia charge $3 a month for access to GPRS channel. All the WAP browsing you want is included in that. However the rest is charged at $1.5 a Mb. I know it's crazy cheap compared to the rest of the things I have seen.

This is nuts. I have BS'd you guys. They lowered their GPRS tariffs, it's incredible. $0.25 per MB of data transmitted Yikes. So that you see I am not crazy here is the link to the site.

GPRS in Moscow was free indeed. But that was because in was run as a pilot program to clean out the system bugs. In other words it worked for shit, but hey you get what you pay for though.

I assume it's Singapore $. So that woud be about 58 USD. If you take into account 15 Euro per Mb then it's pretty cheap. If you compare to Russia then it's wicked expensive.

[quote="jimmy-floyd"]AND WHAT ABOUT SPEED of GPRS,coz in my town speed is no more than 28000 kb/sec. :cry:[/quote]

Hmm.. I'm not really sure. But if i'm not wrong, a 1.7MB file, takes me about 3-5 minutes to complete via the GPRS Internet.
