I've just gotten a Nokia N73 on an O2 contract and I've found that the
ability to access the web over a 3G connection is excellent, something I
never expected to use!

Trouble is on my plan I only get 1Mb included and have to pay something like
£2 per Mb after that, which is crazy when a single web page can often weigh
in at over 200k.

Are there any services around which would give me unlimited access for a set
fee per month?, but without having to take out an entirely new contract?

While not unlimited T-mobile "Web and Walk" have various options
depending on whether you want to access the internet from the handset or
using modem access (e.g. a laptop).

If you combine this with the SIM only it isn't a new contract and can be
cancelled at any time.

With SIM only the prices effectively range from £15 for the handset only
WnW 1Gb limit and various other restrictions to the maximum 10Gb with
hardly any restrictions for £30.

Cheers. Can you give me a clue as to where the SIM only information is, I've
spent ages going through the T-Mobile website and I can only find contract
deals where a phone is part of the package.

Found it. (Through google not through their website!) and it says £7.50 a
month, but makes no mention of Web'n'Walk at all.

I often find that web sites have a poor search engine. As an example,
say for digg.com, I go to Google and type

Site:digg.com x y z
where x, y, z are my keywords.

You'll usualy find that the number of results you get are far greater
via google.

Hmm used to be a link to SIM only from "special offers" but that seems
to have been removed.

You can add various Web'n'Walk packages once you've got SIM only either
by ringing customer services or online through "My T-mobile". The
cheapest (no modem use) is £7.50 extra whereas the max version if £22.50
extra a month.
