Cont...water about how it imposed these limits, in that it failed to tell people that their tariff had been changed, of course this meant people ran up astonishing bills. Genie was featured on Watchdog twice regarding the matter, the 2nd time this American managing director dude can on and claimed that everyone had been told.

@@@@@gahanfan - you may wanna check this on your phone, as you say u check ur e-mails. go to >>> Messages >>>4.e-mail >>> 7.options >>> 2.edit account >>> click on the data account u use for e-mail >>> then at the bottom is check interval >>> select off.
If you have gprs you can configure your handset to check youe e-mail account every 5mins!!!! thus charging you.
Had a customer at work moaning at me cos he had £70 gprs charges & he used this facilty. Just an idea as your charges sound high & you say you dont use it that much (we all say that though)

Orangeman the 'check interval' option has been set to 'off' since I got the phone.
I honestly and truly DON'T use the phone gprs excessively.....I check email every day (headers only), there are usually only 2 or 3 new
messages, and even then I use the pc every day so urgent I usually just go online on the pc to reply....
Anyway this thread was not about how much I PERSONALLY use.....just how much I am charged for using it........Especially as I (wrongly) asumed most other uk users were charged more or less the same as me. I was astounded at the differences between networks, and a bit pissed off to find myself paying 3-4 times the price for the same data volume.......
Regards !! gahanfan

Hmmm £4 pound a MB is not really a bargain in my book, those kind of prices will keep mobile data in the doldrums.
Imagine if the wired net cost that much, an mp3 would cost £12 to download.
When are the idiots at theses companies going to realise that no-one is impressed with the fact that it's mobile, and don't try and sting us to repay your ridiculous debts.
Buy an 02 pay-go online and get 300mins free GPRS

Sadly it is right, my last t-mobile phone bill i was charged 55 quid for gprs data. I even have the 10mb for 20 quid bundle but somehow managed to run a huge bill up like that. I'm not impressed with t-mobile, they are too expensive. My lowest monthly bill with them so far has been 90 quid. Last months has set me back 165!
