Orange World...Is it just me, or is it really poor value ?

KevinM

I have never used any internet stuff on my mobile phone before, but I finally decided to give it a try, and as I am on an Orange contract (Dolphin 35) I checked out Orange World for my mobile phone.

I have to say, it seems very expensive for what you get, and not at all flexible.

Unless I have mis-read it, you get three choices:

1. £1/day (equivalent of £30/month) - No thanks !
2. £5/month - but only for evenings & week-ends - Again, no thanks, I want to be able to use it anytime.
3. £8/month - Yay, can use it anytime, but hang on a doggone pickin' minute - 30Mb[/b]/month...30Mb/month. You've got to be kidding !

So is that it. Is that all that Orange offer ? if so, that's appaling.

Am I right in saying that "Three" have a £5/month mobile phone internet access package that allows you to use it 24/7 with a 3Gb/month limit ? I'd sign up to that in a flash if Orange had it.

So, am I stuck with those Orange choices ? (none of which I intend to go for, by the way).

Many thanks,
Kevin.

You are indeed stuck with these choices for Orange. Note that they, collectively, are still cheaper than paying by-the-megabyte, as Orange make you pay for the nose for that.

T-Mobile do a 'Web and Walk' deal for internet access, 3 do one too. Can't find anything on Vodafone, o2 or Virgin but I've not looked very hard, to be honest.
