    OMG ! i bought a new simpack , 25 euro with 10 credited to it already

    i got the gprs settigns from o2

    i checked my yahoomail it ws bit slow but it wroked thoguht it was great i did :)

    then i checked my balence... o.oo credit :o

    rang up 1740 , you do not have suffecent credit blach hlacvh


    rang the 1850 60 1747 form another phone

    they charged 7 euro and 50 cents for 250kb thats about 2 pages on opera on yahoomail !

    i couldn't believe the prices its crazy !

    i dotn think i'll be using gprs agian any time soon

    it only lasted 3 mins ffs !

    that was teh time it took to download

    i think this might put alotta people off getting the gprs wap 2 settings in !

    Well if you are charged 2 cents per KB and downloaded 300kb, what do you expect?

    GPRS WAP 2.0 Areyou sure you want that service ?

    Also, you might want to change your title and the second quote, WAP 2.0 is not at fault here. The exact same thing would have happened if you downloaded the same volume of date using WAP 1.2 or if you used a browser such as Opera and connected though an ISP APN.

    Its not **2 per kb, i think people should be aware of it before using the advanced services that wap 2 compatible phones have to offer ie internet

    10 euro in 2 pages is a bit crazy tho

    7.5 cents for 10kb on bill pay o2
    30 cents per 10kb on speakeasy

    i got less than a quarter of a megabyte for 10 euro thats crazy


    i jsut put my meteor sim back in :) i was able to browse quit a bit on wap with that still have 10 euro credit in, not internet in tho, i hope vodafone get their finger out and publish the settings for the 6600 soon they should be cheaper than o2 .... :dunno:

    ** TYPO! , 150% more than quoted earlier sooorrrry !

    Hey,
    I think you should stop saying that its wap 2.0 thats causing this, a nokia 7650 with wap 1.1 could use full internet access (opera etc) and you would be charged the same.

    speakeasy is 3-5c per KB.

    Its not 3 per kb

    then you said:
    Its 30 cents per 10kb on speakeasy

    I thought O2 billpay was €7.50 per MEGABYTE.

    I think your getting a little excited?

    You got charged for what you used. Go into your phones log and look at how much data your downloaded in the session, if you were overcharged, call O2.
