So Orange say it's unlimited 'subject to fair usage',but when i phoned 0range 156 and asked what would happen or what would i be charged thereafter they said that my 'elegability to stay on the access pack would be reviewed' as they dont expect anybody to use more than the 10mb's,per month.

It's NOT unlimited then is it?

They do offer 15mb's for £30 a month but it's that's a rip.

Well i'm just curious now as i have used my 10mb's in 2 weeks and was wondering how many mb's do YOU Esato members use each month(wap only) if you have GPRS of course!

Orange are pissing me off 2. I dont use the access pack because it only allows access thru oranges wap portal, which only handles <3kb. And doesnt allowemail thru pop. This means i have 2 pay £8 per mb or £15 for 4mb. I asked about the wap access pack but u cant have that and gprs internet. Which is shit imho. I have been with orange for 4 years but next year in getting a different network, This post was posted from a T68i

Just sent off for a Pay As You Go orange SIM because you can now have GPRS access on PAYG charged at £4/Mb.

Any limitations or problems anybody aware of such as this 3Kb limit (what is that anyway?)?

@Aled

You can have the Access Pack and a GPRS bundle running along side each other, because that's what I used to do.

The best way I've found though, is to have the Access Pack for WAP (I download stuff well over 3KB, often around 25KB, through Orange) and not a GPRS Bundle, that way if I want to send an E-mail using GPRS I just get charged the out of bundle rate of £10 per MB. So, if I send a 12KB E-mail, I'll only be charged 12p.

Like I said, I don't have any trouble downloading stuff over 3KB either.

I have often used over 40Mb in a month's period solely for WAP over GPRS! Telestet in Greece charges 15 euros for unlimited usage and allow you to use any public gateway even though theirs permits downloads of up to 30Mb. This post was posted from a Nokia
