[quote="JyriK"]*bump*

GPRS usage stats now:
sent data: 373.46Mb
received data: 1022.07Mb

😃[/quote]

Thanks for bumping that up JyriK.

I really should have done a proper search shouldn't I?? 😮ops: 😉

Looks like you guys are okay in Finland, but the rest of us are getting screwed.

JyriK 11 Dec 2002, 16:06

No problems 😉
As this was a rather old thread.

Yes, we have quite cheap GPRS in Finland and other services too. 😃
But still no MMS between operators 😞 a MMS message costs 0.08� for now
next february it will be 0.49� 😞

Zipper 11 Dec 2002, 18:22

Well Vodafone UK GPRS select is about the cheapest for a low user in the UK
�2/mb - It might be a ew pence more but its not bad - i use about 5mb/month

Zipper 12 Dec 2002, 23:12

Well with all luck GPRS wont be around much longer - 3G will be around soon - Cept Orange are really trying to keep it away cause they cant afford to upgrade there service [Poor lil orange, �25bn in debt] ... Hopefully Vodafone will push 3G tho, they seem to always be Pro Advancment... Shouldnt be any longer than 6 months now

JyriK 12 Dec 2002, 23:16

Keep on dreaming... 😃 😃
And 3G will never cover the same area than what we now have.
Just available in town/city centres for a long time.

Robbie 13 Dec 2002, 14:06

last bill was over �120 but the company pays for the 3/4 of the bill

GPRS is in the ball park of �60

Ewan 13 Dec 2002, 15:35

Orange (UK) do offer a WAP only GPRS package that is �4 per month for 'unlimited' use (which means don;t go too much over 10mb or we'll start having words with you). Couple this with their Everyday 50 talk plan (ask and you can still get it) which gives me 50 minutes of Calls (inc Data calls) every day between 7pm and 7am and my monthly spendis around �19 (plus �3 handset insurance) for a good mix of GSM and GPRS data.

coolvi 22 Jan 2003, 18:37

Canada Microcell Solutions, GPRS promotion package, as of January, 2003, offers $50CAD($33US) per month for unlimited transfer.

Guest 23 Jan 2003, 00:58

😃 gee guys ... i should be jumping of joy if what u say is true...in slovenia the primary provider charges about 10 euros for 50 mb and 0,001 euro for every mb over that limit... and the speeds are fantastic.. the provider is called mobitel and its located at www.mobitel.si...check it out 😉 well gone back surfing...c'ya :angel:

Rod 23 Jan 2003, 01:06

Over here in Australia, if you go with Optus they give you a free 2month trial. Not sure how much it is after that, but on my bill it was like AU$250 for about 20 megs(i think).. DaNg! lucky it was for free 😃

petran 24 Jan 2003, 21:28

The 3 operators that provide grps in Greece, charge as follows:

VODAFONE GR
either �0.0059/Kb for general use but �0.0295/Kb for WAP (!!)
or �0.00177/Kb for general use, �0.0295 for WAP (!!!), 10MB free (not for WAP use though), but has a �11.8 monthly fee

COSMOTE
�34.6212/month with a 40Mb limit (anyone gone beyond that to see what happens?)

TELESTET
�17.346/month with a 1MB limit !! (according to the site, I am not sure the limit exists, though)

All above prices are for individuals (not companies) and include VAT.
They don't make too much sense, do they? 😃

Special 24 Jan 2003, 21:51

Here you have 2 Options!

1) 15$ Subscription fees per month, and 0.4$ per MB.

2) 1.5$ per MB, without Subscription fees.

it's a bit expensive here :-?
