How much data did you send / receive to run up a £400 bill ?!?!?
My o2 contract includes 1mb in the price. After this it is £3.00 per meg or I can get a bolt-on for £3 which adds 2mb onto my original 1mb (something I will probably do. Using push email seems to push a fair bit of data back and forth).
Does your contract not include any browsing?

No it did not include data bundles but i had browsed before almost the same usage and i only had 2 pounds charges so i just dont understand it but as you also say 3 pounds per megabyte its still just very pricey and a total rip off. I will never do it again. I dont think O2 contracts are the good value they once were. 3 is the best value but their network is poo.

did you do alot of downloads, music etc? Something I always wonder is if MMS messages eat into your data usage aswel as your txt msg usage. Is this the case?

I agree that T-Mobile and 3 provide decent Data plans. I have added Web n Walk Plus to my contract at only £12 extra, and get up to 3GB a month data allowance. Although this does not allow for VOIP, it allows pretty much all else.
Allows me to use Push IMAP, which i feel is better than the Blackberry service, as it removes the middle man, if your IMAP servers support it (most do).

How much data do you send / receive a month (approx) using IMAP push?

Guess what my O2 bill which is now standing at 614.85 is now being written off along with all my other debts. People i am telling you i left my job due to high levels of stress after 9 years and i never had another job so my 9,000 pounds worth of debt is now being written off as i am going bankrupt. Not an easy thing to do but i have had bad luck since i left so O2 are not getting their money. Sorry O2. Not.

I've never been charged by o2 in the last 4 years and I've had some GPRS hungry phones.
Hopefully they'll won't realise.

Aww man that sucks! I have a SIM where I get everything for free, local, national, international calls as well as 3G data. Must go through like a gig a month. I actually can't imagine paying in the region of 200 quid for the privilege!
