Web n Walk

Hoping someone here can help!

I'm on o2 contract and like using my phone to surf the web using Opera Mini. Unfortunately o2's data bolt-ons are appaling and the best i can get is 36MB a month for £14.50 (ex VAT), and a quid per MB after that.

My Nokia 6300 is not locked to o2 (I have tried other sim cards) so I'm thinking of getting a T-Mobile PAYG sim (data bill capped at £1 per day) to use for when I do a big browsing session, and keep my O2 data useage for when I just wanna quickly check my email and train times etc.

My question is.... what exactly is Web n Walk? Can I just stick a sim in my phone, top up, and be charged a quid a day to use Opera Mini as it is, or is Web n Walk an actual application on the handset that I'll need to get? Basically do I have to use a T-Mobile portal for my browsing or can I use whatever I want?

Cheers!

Web n Walk is just the name for the data bolt on for T-mobile.

It's not a bolt on at all. Currently data is charged at 0.73p per KB up and is capped a £1 per 24 hours up to 40MB. From September it will be simplified to a £1 per day charge.

Thank you both. So I can basically pop the sim into my handset and use opera mini then?

from what I gather its available with sim only packages on payg so don't think it is a portal, so should be fine when swapping sims on your phone (I think)

Grab two free sims here: http://www.t-mobilesimgiveaway.co.uk/?WT.mc_id=ON-TM-W-Special

It's also free to use for the first 10 days on payg: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/uk/a-little-somthing-extra/

Better to go here and the settings will be sent to your handset.

Keep a look out for any new o2 tarrifs as well, when speaking to retentions last week they said to me that 02 would be having new tarrifs out including data in the next couple months.

Not sure how true this is guess i'll have to wait and see

Sorry, plz be assured I'm not laughing at you!! Back in April there was a huge discussion on 3G and Esato reference the new tariffs O2 were launching at the end of April. Lots of people were promised by O2 that a web n walk beating data tariff was coming out then. O2 did indeed revamp their data tariffs but they actually made them even worse than they were before - 20MB for a tenner was the highest consumer bolt-on!!!!
