on vodafone, meteor and o2 there is a plan for 99c per day up to 50mb. You pay 2c per kb up to 99c and then go back to 2c per kb after 50mb. The cut off point is 12am.
On Vodafone you also have the option of paying 19c per mb through a different access point (different settings in the phone). Unless you're a very heavy user (ie more than 5mb per day) it's probably better because it would work out cheaper and on the access point that costs 99c per day some things don't work (only applies to vodafone). It's also quite difficult to enter the settings for it on an iphone, it involves editing a file calle proxy.pac i think.
Their 99c per day plan works anywhere in the world where they have a gprs roaming agreement
On 3 you can either pay 49c per mb or buy an add on for 1gb for e9.99 a month. This add on will work in most countries that have 3 networks, i think the list is uk, italy, denmark, austria, australia, sweden. They have more networks but i think they're the only ones where the payg add on works
So there ya go

Thanks for the advice... so if I switch to O2 PAYG I pay only 99c a day - so I'm allowed 50mb per day is that what you mean?
Sorry for the confusion!0 -

Vodafone sent me a text advertising a 19c per MB (although their website says Mb) for unlocked iphones.
The people at Vodafone don't understand the subtlety of your point when advertising and the confusion it causes. Their 1GB (you get 1000 MB) ISP add on is advertised as 1Gb which is obviously different in terms of the amount of data you get. Similarly whomever in Vodafone is sending the text to you is correct in using the MB term rather than Mb on the website.
When discussing this sort of stuff with Vodafone, even if they use the letter "b" consider that they actually meant "B"
Interesting though that they are now catering for iPhone prepay owners. I wonder would they consider an iPhone as a "supported" handset?0 -
