Hi All

Just got my bill through from T-mobile this am and was astounded that I have been charged £42 for 'mobile data'.......2714kb's worth,.... nearly £14 per MB !!!

Really anoyed as Orange do £8 for 4mb bundles,... Vodaphone £7.49 for £1mb, £17.50 for 5mb,.... and lastly O2 at £15 for 5mb. How do they justify the charges ??? All I have been doing is checking my emails daily (only headers) and downloading the odd ringtone or picture here and there.....nothing excessive at all. (my call charges were only £4.00 so that gives you an idea how much I use the phone).

I read in another post that they had some sort of deal for gprs where you could pay £20 for ?MB....I didn't think that I would have to use it as I didn't think I used up that much data but at this price I can't afford phone bills of £65 + (with all other inclusives) every month...!!!!! Anyone know or has got this deal form T-mobile could you let me know what it is about and what to ask for. I would be very grateful...I can't change networks for now....

Now I'm off for a lie down with a cold flannel over my forehead........

T-Mobile are the only network to charge by the Kb and not to have any form of inclusive bundles.

They do charge everyone 2pence per Kb.

I haven't done the math on your bill, but 2p/Kb is the correct rate.

Yes I knew they charged 2.2p per kb......but when you do as little browsing as I do......doing a brief 2 minute email check int the morning and occasionally downloading a (mainly mono old 80s hit) ringtone here and there, my usage didn't seem to me to be that excessive....... I had no idea I was racking up the bill so much and so got quite a nasty shock !!!!.... I am a 32 year old mum of 4 so downloading fancy graphics/themes and polyphonic tones isn't that much of a priority for me lol.....So am a bit bemused as to how I managed to get the bill so high by doing so little (?)

Perhaps a warning to other T-mobile users here who only do what they assume is a little/moderate amount of browsing.....Be very careful !!! 1mb doesn't go very far at ALL if you use them.....

Anyone got the details of their £20 bundle package please ???

thanks
