-Free games & ringtones from Vodafone LIVE.

Obtain a Vodafone Pre-pay sim card. Connect to Vodafone live via CSD. All games and ringtones are free as a payment system has not yet been implimented for pre-pay CSD. The data call itself is also freee although you must have some credit in order to initiate the call.

-Free GPRS (ish) from T-Mobile

Just got my bill, my second month of using GPRS on T-Mobile (in-frequently as i have it free on O2) and they've not charged me yet again. I can't remember how many MMS messages i've sent but i dont belive it to be as many as my bill suggests. I think that each connection to their GPRS server is treated (unintentionaly) as an MMS message by their pricing system. Get connected, stay connected, pay 32p. Sounds good to me. I'll make a few GPRS calls today and then check my billing update tomorrow to be sure.

Please excuse any typo's in writng in a bit of a rush 😊

Hmm... as a victim (sorry... customer!) of t-mobile, this will be great news if it all works out ok! Can you keep us updated? Or can someone else confirm this?

I was comming to the same conclusion on my T-Mobile account.
It appears if you connect via their MMS GPRS settings rather than their normal WAP/Internet GPRS settings than I don't think you are charged the normal 2p per kb.
I am awaiting a bill to confirm...
