When I first got the 6600 couldnt work out how to get the o2 wap to work, so stuck in my Orange contract card and surfed a few sites, downloaded some vids, but was wary of costs on Orange so stopped.

Just got the bill 4.2 mb of data .............................................................................

forty fuckinsevenfuckn quid

47 quid for 4.2 mbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sheer audacity of those fucknuts to charge me 47 quid +tax for 4.2 mb's of data leaves me in tears.

NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL ONE PENNY OF MY HARD EARNED CASH GOES ORANGES WAY.

I know you can get bundles an all that, but to charge 47 quid on any tarrif for 4.2mbs of data is a freakin joke.

Thats the kind of charges I would expect at the North Pole using Inmarsat fercrissakes.

How odd, conversley as I took a pre paid bundle i got more than twice the meg for about �8

Doh !!

Had you not thought of checking your contract first ? Obviously Not.

Shouldn't have cost you any more then 8 quid. (�8)

Orange UK GPRS bundles


GPRS 3. 3Mb �4 per month �3 per Mb Out of Contract

GPRS 7. 7Mb �8 per month �2 per " " " " " " "

GPRS 15. 15Mb �14 per month �1.50 " " " " " " "

Worst case on cheapest tarriff plus out of contract Mb =

�4 for 3Mb in contract
�42 for 16Mb out of contract

= �46 for 19Mb

Sorry but your maths doesn't add up ??

I have the bill in front of me

4.7405 Mb (sos it was 4.7 not 4.2 , anger clouded my eyes)

= 47.405 pounds.

HMMMMMMM, that stinks a bit, 4.7405 =47.05 pounds

sounds like computer error there, those 2 figures a bit too close for comfort methinks

Sorted!!!
Rang them, was on old GPRS tarrif at.....sit down for this

10 pounds a MB!!

They've given me 30 quid back.

Of course I'll never ever use them gain, still got free GPRS on my O2 pay-go 😊
