Dear Mr Awesome,
Thank you for your enquiry to Consumer Direct dated 14th July 2010. Your reference number for this case is YH705428 and should be quoted in all further correspondence regarding this case.
Based on the information you have provided the key legal points in response to your enquiry are as follows:
* You have a contract phone with Orange paying
500mb on our phone is a drop in the ocean. I'm not halfway through the month and I've just over 100mb left of usage. Orange are charging 60p per DAY with a "fair use" of 25mb. That's is absolutely pathetic. I don't think they should be able to decide what's fair. We should. And on a very internet aware phone anything short of 5GB isn't fair.
MMS = 16p...On the same note, what do GiffGaff charge for MMS, do you know?...
If any of you are with Orange, download the 'your Orange' app from the market. I did this and found that I had a 500mb limit (which I had passed and was then getting charged for) yet I had been sold the plan as 'unlimited' which I had been very specific about needing and had been assured that I was getting. I spent a few hours on multiple days arguing with many operators about the use of the word unlimited. Eventually I took it to the top manager and was told that if I want unlimited data I can ring every day and get a
giffgaff's no good - their unlimited internet offer finished on the 1st October, and is then replaced with something gobsmackingly awful: giffgaff - giffgaff goodybags at half price. Unlimited calls, unlimited texts and unlimited mobile Internet for only 17.50 pounds. Free calls and texts to giffgaff numbers. Payg tariff
"You lucky giffgaff pioneers can even enjoy free UK mobile Internet up to the 1st of October 2010. After that date, mobile Internet will be charged at 50p a day (if you use less than 2.5MB/day you'll pay less than 50p and if you go over 30MB you'll be charged extra at 20p/MB)."

Checked with T-Mobile UK today:

I can confirm that Vodafone give 1gb, and will text you if you are close to having some kind of vengeance wreaked upon you.
TBH, I don't see a problem with the amount of data we get given here. Unless you have no other internet at home then there's not a great reason to be using that much data through your phone. I remember times when due to various reasons I had to use my phone as my primary internet device AND my GPS AND to tether my laptop and even then I didn't burn more than 150mb a week.
I can see that streaming excessive media is going to take you over the limit, but, to play devils advocate for a moment, what the hell are you streaming that's so important ? I mean... seriously... Music and youtube doesn't really scream 'can't wait till I'm on Wifi'. Most devices have swappable SD cards, and so for a minor investment you can have 32+ gigs of media with you, which should be enough to last a day.
There's enough scope on a 1gig plan to deal with a few music downloads as and when you fancy, and I think thats reasonable.
The networks in the states are going CRAZY about data use, because of just how many devices they have to deal with, and although its not too awful here, I think its hopelessly optimistic to be asking for 4-5gigs as 'reasonable' for a mobile device. I really don't see how you could use that much with 'normal' useage patterns.
