orange do a bolt on which is £1 for 24 hours unlimited wap on PAYG. (subject to fair usage I imagine!)

I'd certainly consider that. Mainly its to listen to Radio on the coach and in the car on long trips from football and the like. DAB is utterly hopeless on a coach, even worse since I changed my Perstel radio for a Sony one. And you can only get Virgin on FM in a very limited area so £1 seems reasonably fair

Though if you read the small print for the orange £1 for 24 hours unlimited gprs use, it excludes 3G phones. So no good for watching all the new tv services etc

Sorry for my ignorance, but this is all new to me..

£1/month for unlimited GPRS use? I couldnt find anything on the Orange webiste. Can I ad it to my OVP Virgin tariff and have free surfing for £1? Sounds too good to be true!

And the Radio service via the mobile, it says on the link above that it works only on G3 so I am confused again.

Can someone enlighten me pls in simple terms?
Thanks!

Its £1 per day! You can buy it on a daily basis , as and when you want it. Its on PAYG, as a bolt on, so may not be available on your pay monthly d

Oops..!

I get it now (some of it anyway)

Do you have a link to the relevant page on Orange's site? I couldnt find anything.

I have a GPRS laptop card that I use to surf the net when on the road (slow, but ok), so this could be the ideal solution for me. Someone above said that Internet surfing is included - is this right?
