I believe it is an add on to a contract and involves an 18 month contract and you will need a T-Mobile sim, there is a faster service called professional but this costs £10p.m and has a 2 gig fair usage policy. There are some exclusions with it though you are only meant to use it on a phone/smartphone not as a modem with a laptop or peer to peer video or audio streaming. But when i asked tec support how they could tell the difference the said they didn't know, personally i think only if you are connected for an extended period would they be able to tell it was being used with a laptop. I must say the speed is pretty impresiive and fine for web browsing and collecting e-mails.

I'm not sure if the 3G cost argument is still relevant anymore. It's been a few years since they bid for there licenses, I hold the Labour Government entirely responsible for the stupid billions it cost the company's as well, why couldn't they of just sold the things at a fixed cost but then again the money went straight into the governmnet's coffers.
I had a P800 a few years back with free Wap access on Orange and I was on it all the time, it was great. Now I checked the lotto numbers the other day on my K750I on Orange and they charged me 1.20 for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the pricing policy's of mobile carriers (Especially Orange) have changed a LOT over the past couple of years and now seem to offer less for more. When I get my K800I it will be my first 3G phone but I am ashamed at the fact I won't be able to afford it's fast speedy wap access which to me is the whole point of all this 3G and 4G etc.
Agreed it's about time one of the carriers made the first move to unlimited 3G Wap access. £10 a month for 500MB would suite me fine. Not the £45 they currently charge.

That 'professional' you mentioned sounds ok to me.

Do you know how i can get details on this at all?

Or do you mean that 'professional' is also a T-Mobile thing?

Thanks mate

I am afraid it is T-Mobile and IMHO they are the first network to of worked out all that 3G bandwith was going to waste as video calling just hasn't happened IMO. They are giveing data users what they want /need at what i consider a very reasonable charge and i must confess to being pleasantly suprised by just how usable this service is.
