If you don't mind waiting on Quidco's payout time then,

You want to have serious look at...

The end price per month is £11.25 for 800 minutes, 1600 text, and one of a number of Bolt Ons. I went with the Unlimited Web Bolt-On and haven't looked back.

I know you don't really care about minutes and texts and neither do I. I've used all of ten minutes for calls in the last two weeks. But I am on the web with my Nokia 5800 constantly.

There is 21 pages of comments, but most of those have to do with Quidco tracking problems in the beginning of the offer. People signing up now are having Quidco tracking okay. The rest of the comments have to do with porting existing numbers to O2.

The secret to having Quidco track properly is to flush your browser cookies before visiting Quidco or O2.

Topcashback.co.uk has the same offer and they don't charge £5 membership fee.

This deal is active until Midnight Monday.

I have a HTC Magic With vodafone and they offer a measly 500MB

It may seem alot for some phones but This is like the iphone (O2 give their customers 3GB!) so really 500MB is not much considering everything you can do on the mobile. It has built in youtube and applications like streaming video and audio which can indeed gobble it all up. And the phone is constantly connected to the internet.

So in my Opinion , if you are gonna buy a smart phone , stay away from Vodafone........

When my Contract runs out , I'm off! They claim unlimited but obviously 500 MB is not :mad: I'm happy with the Magic , shame about the "Unlimited internet"

Id also recommend 3, i have the £5 internet add on which gives a FUP of 1gb, in reality 1.5gb - 2gb before your charged. I use mine for around 3 hours a day whilst on the train to and from work, im only just coming up to the 1gb usage and my month ends tonight. They also alow a bit of teathering in that aslong as you dont go OTT

I would avoid 3. Their cs is terrible and the coverage is not much better. This is a quick breakdown of what the networks offer.
T-Mobile unlimited data (1gig FUP) included in their Flext Plans or £5.00 pm on other plans. You can pay extra for larger amount up to 10 gig.
Vodafone £5.00 for 500mb FUP for life of contract or £7.50 for the bundle to be added or removed as needed. Also do 5gig a month for £20.00 extra added on to your price plan.
Orange £7.50 for 250mb or £5.00 for 500mb for life of contract or £5.00 for unlimited evening and weekend data use or newish bundle £10.00 for 1gig of usage anytime.
All the above are for use with phones and not mobile broad band.

Oh I got told that adding unlimited 'net on Voda would be a fiver. Liars!

Hi elfen

Have you been charged more than you should have been?

If you take Unlimited Mobile Internet as part of your plan to keep it costs £5 per month.

If you take this as an extra (so that it can be added and removed without changing your plan) this is £7.50 per month.

This is designed for web browsing through your phone and has a fair usage policy of 500MB.

The 500MB Fair Usage means that only if you consistantly exceed this you would be contacted and asked to reduce your usage.

If you are a heavy data user and maybe use your phone as a modem you can add a 5GB to allowance to your account for £20.

If your charges are not the same as these, I'd love to help.

Send an email using the Contact Us form with a link to this thread, your details and WRT135 in the body of the text and I'll get back to you.

Thanks

I didn't take the internet add-on as I have wi-fi on my phone and it works brilliantly now it's set up. Default setting changed so it hooks into wi-fi when I tell it to.

lol - 5gb allowance for £20 a month? That's insane.

T-Mobile at the moment offer a fair usage policy of 3gb bundled with the Hero. £36.50/month gets you the phone free on an 18 month contract, you also get 800 minutes and unlimited texts.

Also, have a gander at this: http://www.expansys.com/nc.aspx?i=184566

I'm considering going for the 12 month, I don't really like being tied in to an 18 month contract.

It does surprised me a bit that Orange and Vodafone seem to be so wilfully uncompetitive with their data bundles - calling 500mb fair usage unlimited is pretty silly, especially given what the other providers are offering.
