worries me. I have my P800 already but have been using T68i/ipaq for over a year now on GPRS and my usage seems to increase every month!

I think they're going through a process of change...
I was very lucky with my deal as singlepoint promised GPRS to me when I signed up so they had to fulfil it. As they only ended up with 2 subscriptions they didn't put a process in place to measure how much I use... so they said £30 p.m. unlimited.
Bonus.... can't wait to rape it with the p800...

nah. just called Vodafone and was informed the GPRS rates are the same no matter what call tariff you are on, business or not.
That's wrong. The GPRS Select package is only avaliable on Vodafone Business and Vodafone 200 and above. Have a look at the vodafone website. Here's the relevant quote:
Quote:GPRS Select price plan is available on Vodafone Business, Vodafone Company Caller Business (+ICS), Vodafone 200, Vodafone 200, Vodafone 200+offnet, Vodafone 400, Vodafone 400+offnet, Vodafone 800, Vodafone 800+offnet, Vodafone 1100, Vodafone 1100+offnet, all Vodafone Group saver price plans from Vodafone 200 upwards.

Agreed. GPRS select is available on all those tariffs but I can't see anywhere on the web site, and the second customer service bloke I just called confirmed, that the GPRS rate itself (i.e. £ per kb) is different on any of those plans. They only have standard GPRS tariffs which are added to the call tariff you choose.
Happy to be proved wrong though.
Just called yet again and...
The GPRS select rate is 2p per kb wth no connection fee (the web says 0.20p but vodaphone customer service confirmed it is wrong and they will look into that. So I think I see where you were coming from Richardadc and perhaps this was the mistake.

Sorry for the figures, i havent had any reason to look into GPRS before, but as the p800 supports full Web browsing i thought I'd look into it:
Is this right? If i wanted to view say
www.yahoo.co.uk on a P800, the home page being say 50kb, to download this to the phone on a Vodafone GPRS price tarrif that costs 0.5p/KB would cost me 25p each page???! Thats pretty steap for the privelidge is it not????

Stop phoning them and read what is on the website, and use a bit of common sence. Do you really think they would charge more for a customer using Vodafone 1100 than a customer using Vodafone 20? The GPRS Select tariff has been around for about 6 months now, and is charged at 0.23p/KB - i even use to be on this tariff, and got charged exactly that rate.

I kept calling because I wanted the tariff you were talking about.
After talking to 7 people on 3 different numbers I finally got someone (who just came out of vodafone academy apparantly) that could confirm what you said and changed my plan!
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
