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.

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
