Originating network Place called Call class Megabytes Cost

    The Orange Pay Monthly Price Guide is available in PDF here. See page 9 of the PDF (or page 16 of using the booklet numbering).

    Presumably, you are on "Pay as you use" which is £3 per MB for the first 3MB, £2 per MB for 3MB to 15MB and £1 per MB after 15MB.

    If you use more than just over 1MB a month, then you want to move onto an "Access Pack". If you do, check your bill is correct as I did that and was charged twice; once for the access pack and again on the "Pay as you use" plan.

    No Orange contract 'charges on the PAYG basis' as you put it. Contract on pay as you use is £3 per MB. Cheaper if you purchase bundles.
