I have never used my mobile to connect to the internet, although it could be useful now and again for email.

My contract has a 1mb monthly included allowance, how far would this go? Not very far I would think.

Also if this was from abroad how much would o2 be likely to charge. I have the International roaming.

    1mb is not much at all so I would be bery careful in using the interent. you may be ok for basic email and some limited news, but from abroad the price will go through the roof. your allowance will not count so at a minimum it could be £5 per mb...

    Thanks deano - that's what I thought and why I had avoided using it, it's there as an emergency for me then.
