DSA and Mobile Internet Costs

I've got awarded DSA and SFE will pay the internet costs on my mobile, as its still classed as internet & im covered for that.

The thing is, do mobile phone companies like 3 give itemised billing that show the internet part of a bundle (so 500mb etc) and the relevant price for that particular part?

This is so I can reclaim the costs from SFE. I also wanted to know if anyone here gets their internet costs paid for by SFE and is for all through the year or just academic times only.
Time to change for the better! :):):)

    I don't think it's likely that any mobile provider will show the cost of bundled internet use included within a monthly contract, Vodafone certainly don't. The only way I could see this working is to have either a contract that doesn't include internet or a pay as you go, then buy the internet access as an add on which you can then make the reclaim for. It may be more expensive than if it was inclusive but if you get that back then that shouldn't be a problem for you (although I don't know the answer to your last question, which could be a fly in the ointment).

    O2 used to but looking at their website that seems to have changed now, you could try asking them though incase they still do it.
