Not that I can see. The closest they get is their 1Gb/mo bundle which
costs a massive £45 a month and is only available to data customers! O2
charges silly rates for GPRS even at the low end - £8 for just 5MB!

Much better to go with T-Mobile - £12.50 for 3Gb, £22.50 for 10Gb, no
restrictions. They also have some other options (e.g. where streaming
isn't allowed, etc.).

Cheers

Alan

Or orange's £1 per day unlimited GPRS access offer. That would be £30 per
month, but assuming you weren't using it every single day, perhaps better
value?

Good point David. Also, if you want 3G access then T-Mobile PAYG has a
similar deal - max £1/day charge for net access (although apparently
excludes use of the phone as a modem for the laptop - Orange don't do
this but limit the offer to 2G speeds).

Re. bundles - see the web'n'walk pages at

It doesn't make it too easy to read, but if you compare the main tariffs
to the WnW versions then the difference is the cost of WnW - £12.50 is
for the plus version, £22.50 for the Max version - e.g.,

Flext 25 is £25/mo, Flext 25 + WnW Plus is £37.50
Flext 35 is £35/mo, Flext 35 + WnW Max is £57.50/mo.

T-mobile also offer straightforward add-on bundles
(http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menuid=phones_internet_bundles)
but if you think you'll use above 12MB/month then you'd be better with WnW.
