    Im also after the best free or cheapest deal for WAP access, having being on Vodafone live! for free, I have found out it ends on 1st June, so need an alternative source of latest footy scores.

    Now looking at O2, bolt ons £3 per month gives 2MB usage, does this mean 2MB per day??? Hardly seems effective if only 2MB for the whole month!!!

    I need some advise on this, as I am in the market for a new phone, and need to decide on which PAYG provider to go with.

    T-Mobile looks a good bet, with £1 max per day, and the chance of 3p texts, albeit with high call charges, I use it for texting really anyway.

    2mb a month on 02 mate.
    the best option really is tmobile but you can keep the tmobile simj for access only and use different sim for calls text etc

    Thanks

    Still quite a price hike from it being free from Vodafone, Im always on it checking scores to make sure our rivals are losing, and we gain promotion.

    tmobile is the cheapest really mate but remember that the £1 a day is MAX, if you just went on for 2 secs to check your mail it would not cost that.
