Orange UK 1GB Data (Unlimited)

Just double checked the site and apparently it says 10GBP not mp. Tried the foreign call centre again, he told me my previous acc details show I never go over my usage. Tried to explain its do I dont get charged, then call cut off, damn trains. Will try to get a brit when I get home.
 
woohoo!!!

I did this

I think it was 150, then options 12222, its the billing queries number anyway.

Spoke to a very nice guy from the UK, explained that I need more data as its currently not enough and I have to watch that I don't go over my limit because the charges were so high for going over. He said he could upgrade me to the unlimited plan which is unlimited and has no cap. I asked him again to confirm that there is no cap I need to continue to monitor and he said no.

While he was adding it to my account he told me a story about how he was charged
 
O2, like everyone else, have a 'fair usage' - but it's not advertised. I've seen people cut off for 600mb usage before. And they'll cut you off quicker if you're using streaming.
I use ~4GB/mo* - they've never said anything and I hardly pay them anything for it! (

I originally got given 500mb i used the old ive been a loyal customer etc etc and they said ok we will give you unlimited, just ask and youll be surprised how much they will give in to you
 
Check your account online it will be there in writing.
I had mine changed from 500 to one 1gb and it now shows that on my account.
 
It's a shame that Orange offer a 500mb/month deal, 500mb is literally peanuts.

I browse through blogs, forums, news sites, FML and have widgets like Stocks and Calendar. I also use Google Maps sometimes (maybe once a week) and I'm on 489mb and all the data is pretty much text-based websites (except the Google Maps). There's basically no chance of me listening to web radio, spotify, watching youtube videos, iplayer, etc.

The only advantage of this is the network remains relatively unclogged.

When I had the 500mb, it showed this in my "view the balance of your bundles", and how much i had used. There is nothing in there relating to mobile internet anymore.

Where it lists my bundles, it shows Unltd Mobile Internet. There is no cap mentioned. So I guess Orange finally realised that theres no point having the widest 3G coverage no one can use it.

Anyway, really impressed with orange and the customer service rep too.

I'm fairly confused here - are you saying orange no longer have a cap? 0_o, or is it just a deal for you?
 
So I really can't handle this 500mb limit I have with Orange UK. I had a look at the site to see my options, and this page shows that there is a 1GB available for pay monthly users, double what I have now which would be fantastic (however still not enough I fear :( )

I'm currently paying

The difference is that Orange either give you a limited data allowance (either 500Mb or 1Gb) which attracts a charge for each Mb you go over it OR you get an unlimited allowance which has a fair usage level (750 Mb or 1Gb?) but this doesnt automatically incur charges if you exceed it.
