Oh Jesus, I just got my bill from Vodafone, and for the first month that I used GPRS, I was charged 549 Euros. People, this is just an example of what Greece has become. DO NOT come to the Olympics this summer. We, the Greek people, find a way to take advantage of you, and take all of your money, and then probably kick you as we run away to the bank. I am ashamed to be living here. I have the biggest package from Vodafone, the "600" and used 511 KBs. DO NOT COME TO ATHENS THIS SUMMER, OR EVER FOR THAT MATTER!
Edit:Sorry, it was 61 MBs, not 511 KBs. Which still sucks, just like this country does.

Hey dude just calm down! Paying a huge bill has nothing to do with the olympics.. Many persons' lives are reliant on the olympics, by that I mean all the people that are working for the olympics, and you shouldn't discourage others from going for such a reason

They ripped you off. I pay 6 euro a month for unlimited gprs. That is a nice price though my provider also ripped me off yesterday :(

How the hell did you manage to transfer 61 MB of data in one single month?! It took me 335 hours to transfer only 59.3 MB; that's like 14 days non-stop if you'd calculate it! Were you glued to your phone's keypad or something?

@Lundmark
By roaming I mean that I have a Hong Kong Cell phone and I mostly use it for GPRS outside of Hong Kong eg checking email whilst away or writing to my blog. This is charged separately from my "domestic" GPRS use and at a different (much higher) rate.
@everyone
Anyone any advice to cut the costs of GPRS? Seems like some have very reasonable charge rates while others get stung bigtime.

There's a thread with tips on cutting down GPRS costs, I'm sure someone has got a link for you. (If not: search for it.)

when ornage were doing free GPRS last year i used around 134MB in one month and got a letter from Orange saying i abused their fair usage policy and will not get free GPRS any more. So i just got out my old Oraange PAYG sim and did around 150MB the next month.

all i can say is you need to get a gprs tarif package that suites you, because that seems way too much
