    hi guys apologies if this is in the wrong place,

    I want to listen to internet radio over my n95 past the confines of my wifi
    so ill need to get a data plan but most I can see are not "unlimited" but rather limited to between 5 and 20 mb etc
    is there any real unlimited plan so I can listen to my hearts content without breaking the bank?
    cheers

    The meteor "unlimited" plan is 10Gb it's 14.99
    Three have 10Gb for 19.99.
    Vodafone 500Mb for 9.99 and 5 per Mb after that :eek:
    O2 have 250mb for 7.50, they have some other price plans with data for the iPhone too, don't know if you can get them with a nokia.

    None of them do a truely unlimited plan as far as I can see.

    Does anybody know what happened to three XSeries?
    I though Xseries Gold was unlimited.

    Depends on the quality (bitrate) of the stream.
    32Kbps = ~15MB of data per hour
    48Kbps = ~22MB of data per hour
    64Kbps = ~29MB of data per hour
    96Kbps = ~44MB of data per hour
    128Kbps = ~58MB of data per hour

    X-Series Gold was described as unlimited but actually had a cap of 2GB - just goes to show the value of the Advertising Standards Authority when companies can make these kinds of claims that are patently untrue and get away with it.

    The ASAI have no real power in this country, so don't expect them to do anything regarding the term "unlimited", especially as numerous complaints have been overlooked.
