GPRS per MB cost

Hi all,

just wanted to know what everyone's paying for their GPRS?

I'm with O2 and they charging me £2.35 per MB and I cant help but feel shafted...

  • Depends what tariff you are on dude. Some O2 tariffs charge 75p/Mb GPRS rate. What kind of tariff are you after?

  • Just looked more into this - if you get transferred onto an O2 Data 5 tariff you will get charged £8 more a month but get 5mb free and any data thereafter is charged at £1.18/Mb.

    Same here on O2 "old" PAYG, with 300 free texts and 300 GSM WAP minutes. If you are on that and change to the new version you get 1MB GPRS free with 300 free texts, which I think can also be used for MMS, 3 texts = 1 MMS. I think!

    4 texts = 1 MMS
  • I'm on Discount500 and I also get 200free texts which I can use MMS as well (4xSMS). But I don't get why they're charging me £2.35 But I guess it's a lot less than Virgin and Orange so cant complain :)
