500mb fair usage

[Skinny]

If I spend circa 1-2 hours on 3G a day will I go over this?

 

[DrR]

If your not downloading anything no

 

[Skinny]

Nah just browsing the web. Will sending pics in emails effect it? Ill do all downloading when on wifi

Cheers

If your on Wifi then you will be fine.

Data usage is only when your using 3g etc..

 

[JD]

As Rollo says, doubt you will get anywhere near that.

Question I was looking at ansking too as was looking at Voda contracts and they have this limit!

 

[Ronnie R]

If your surfing the web on your phone, you are downloading.

Since I've had my iPhone 3G, March. I have received 605mb

 

[Skinny]

Roffle cool so ill strgglke to get near it

 

[Ronnie R]

Unless you hammer the p**n on 3G.

 

[Skinny]

No need for p**n. Got a girl.

Only for blogging etc.

Get a download monitor just to keep track but it should be more than enough. I use it a fair bit for streaming radio, youtube and internet browsing and i've not hit 500mb a month yet. Downloading podcasts etc uses more but just do that over wifi and store them for later.

Does take a while to get upto those usage rates even with heavy usage though on the 3 network they support full media streaming which, if you also use i-player for example on an Android phone, you can start to hammer things.

Their fair usage policy is 1GB though ;-)

How do you check your usage on Orange pay monthly?

Log into your account online and it tells you. Or use the iPhone app if you have an iPhone.

Orange do an iPhone app that lets you log into your account, and tells you how many mins, texts, and data you have used and have left.

 

[calum001]

ah right, would be handy but O2 doesn't have that on the app for your account

I got through a good gig and half downloading apps and heavy browsing. I would put it on WiFi at home but its not half as fast as my 3g connection. Imho I think 500mb is a bit tight which is one reason I stuck with t-mobile again.

 

[Rob]

o2 has an app for calls and texts, I'm sure they'll add data very soon if they havent already.

 

[Ali]

Is this only for iPisch?? or any 02 web browsing thingy.

 

[Limca]

ive recieved 1.3gb so far lol
might be due to watching these world cup games on my iphone LOL

no matter, I have my trusty laptop if all fails
