The UK will soon have three well-priced unlimited Internet access via cellphone plans following this news that Orange are to introduce an all-you-can-eat package. Users will be able to take Internet ’snacks’ [all this food talk is making me hungry, I need breakfast...] or pay 8 and get unlimited monthly usage. unfortunately, there are no T&C’s available at the moment so its not clear what the Bluetooth /USB tethering policy will be. Hopefully it will be different to X-Series and allow PC’s to be tethered - its important for UMPC users. Info from The Times Online:
OrangeContract: Internet ’snacks’ @ 30p for 15mins with daily cap of 1.50 or a ‘bundle’ priced at 1 per day or 5 monthly for evening/ weekends or 8 monthly ‘anytime’
Pay-as-you-go: Internet snacks @ 40p for 15 mins with daily cap of 2 or a daily 1 bundle3Contract: 5 per month unlimited usage
T-Mobile Contract: 7.50 per month unlimited browsing on ‘WebnWalk’ or capped at 1 day for other customers
Pay-as-you-go: Capped daily at 1
It was only three or four months ago that Three UK announced their X-Series service which offered a breakthrough unlimited access package for 5 and its nice to see others follow. I hope the trend spills over into mainland Europe because I’ve just had to pay 20 for 200MB per month in Germany. Best offer here in Germany is 02’s 5GB access for 25 Euro. What’s the best offer in your country?
