    What I meant was that both orange and O2 work fine when browsing the net from the phone itself.
    Its only when connecting the phone to a laptop and trying to browse net on the laptop that orange will work and O2 won`t. Hope this makes sense.
    On the internet you can be anything you want.It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.

    Thanks Guys. I will try Orange first then.

    However, I went to mobile shops today. O2 was not helpful.
    T-Mobile said I can used internet unlimited for £1, but only for browsing but no e-mailing. I don't think they are fully correct.
    I then checked with CPW, they again said T-Mobile £1/day, but they think e-mail is also included, but downloading the e-mails is not included.
    However, CPW added a point that I can use Web and Walk on Payg for £7.50/mth. I will check this with T-Mobile directly.

    Raj, I forgot to mention you need a 3g Sim for orange. I got mine from car boot but no doubt ebay will have them .

    Did you check out the 3 flat 12 tarrif ? That looks a better deal than orange at a fiver a month if it works ok. ( a mate of mine was on 3 for calls and said it was crap but that was a while ago, maybee things better now??)

    Please post back which you find to be the best . If a better deals out there I will change myself.

    ps. Just a thought , dont know if you read it but according to this weeks MSE email there is now free WI FI at most Mc donalds so thats another option if you have wifi on your phone .

    Three network offer looks good. Anyone knows how to get a 3 SIM card cheaper from a shop. Online you can get for £5 - Quidco £4 = £1.

    I have spoken to Orange and T-Mobile and they have confirmed that I can use the internet for £1/day.

    T-Mobile also mentioned if I go for SIM only monthly contract of £20 or above, I can get webnwalk for £7.5/mth (which is not available on Payg SIM)

    T-mobile is giving £5 off tariffs at the moment so if you're thinking about that do it now. But to be honest, 3's tariffs are better value...

    As to £1 for a 3 SIM could I suggest that, for that money, it's not really worth spending your time looking - and my last one came with £10 credit on it too!

    Heh - I wouldn't want to be labelled as one of those guys that just sits in McDonalds (which, admittedly, is healthier than ordering a Big Mac every time you go in!) :rotfl:
