I have just upgraded to the artemis, o2 offered me unlimited data downloads for £15 a month as a bolt on apparently this is for blackberry users but I we can have it as well. otherwise £2.30 a meg, Is there any other cheaper rates/ options but still sticking with my o2 contract????
I’m fed up of using the web with the pics turned off since o2 started charging for gprs
thats fnatastic , im going to call them tommorow.
isnt that just for blackberry data though? not normaly web/normaly data
I think 02 monitor the port that the phone uses for example
Blackberry port 555 = unlimited
web broswing poer 80 = charged at rate / min
so you may have unlimited blackberry data but not unlimited nomraly data if you get what i mean!
I just phoned o2 customer services , my contract is online, i asked abotu this they say unlimited GPRS doesnt exist, I asked them if there was anythign similar, they said not for online, perhaps for offline though.
Gutted!
robboy, is your contract online or offline ?
If the woman i spoke to is correct then I find it ironic that internet contracts dont have as good data offerings as offline ones and not in a funny way.

data is never charged at rate / min so im not sure you are correct at all. its charged in megabytes (or is it bits, im not sure).
if you was i would run a proxy at home on port 555

acording to this file :
http://www.o2.co.uk/assets/O2HybridNav/Static-files/PDFs/Data Tariffs Price List - September 06.pdf
o2 do offer a bolt on for unlimited mobile web (capped at 1gb) the RRP is £30 a month,
i think this may be for offline customers only
Put a T-Mobile sim in it with that you get 1GB for £7.50 per month which is about as cheep as you will find, if 1GB isn't enough they do offer other tariffs, but I switched from O2 a few months ago due to stupidly high GPRS charges - Mike
Not sure if anyone can help .....
I'm looking at a £25 per month, 18 month contract (300 mins, unlimited texts) and unlimited data.
Sounds goods.
But, my main concern is the data. I've spoken to them this evening and they assure me that as it is an Android device that it will have the standard tmobile 3gb fair usage allowance.
I'm concerned that, despite what they say, that it will default to the standard non-Android 1gb fair usage policy as they are effectively selling it as a non-standard deal ?
Am I being over cautious ??!?!?
can anyone advise (please) ?
I dunno the answer but how much are the charging for the phone?
If you go direct through T-Mobile you get 3 gig of data but through other sites its only 1 gig.
the phone is free, £3.99 delivery.
Try phoning T-Mobile up, go for the 18 month £25 plan, 600 mins, 500 texts, 3gb internet, flexible booster (unlim texts or something else) and tell them that the same deal is online with a free phone.
If it doesn't work hang up and try again. Eventually it either will work or you'll be able to get a reduction in the handset price.
I got mine on launch day with T-Mobile 300 mins/texts 3 gig data usage and unlimited landlines, got them to wave the cost of the phone so got it free on £25 a month for 24 months.

Hi, What I would do is get the £15 a month , 300 mins, unlimited texts and internet. It will cost £130 for the phone - totaling £490.
Then you get £40 cashback - which is therefore the same cost as your phone. And for 6 extra months so if you wanted to change it after £18 months it would still be the same cost
And no you are not being over cautious
Just to clarify this for people:
I've been trying to figure out why my HSDPA data speed was so slow (looked like throttled to ~350kbps d/l speed).
It appears that buying via MPD and T-Mobile with "unlimited" data (at least on the £25/month tariff I chose) you are only put on the standard 1Gb FUP data plan. This also has speed restrictions (which I read about elsewhere - and is definitely true since I've experienced it first-hand).
I was under no impression from MPD that I was getting only 1Gb, and it was never mentioned anywhere - all the literature on the web re: Android phones and T-Mobile UK imply we all should be on the 3Gb - which also included no speed throttle.
I just called T-Mobile and made the case - they first tried to get me to pay an extra £5 a month to be put onto the 3Gb, but I persisted mentioning that ANY Android phone bought now with a T-Mobile contract should be on the 3Gb FUP product.
After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing they agreed and changed me over instantly. I also got to choose a free booster since the 3Gb one is included in the plan...
Stick to your guns and you should get a result - don't let them try to make you pay for it - it's MPD's fault for not making it clear, and I argued that since my contract is with T-Mob and not them I should be on the same product as anyone who bought with T-Mobile direct...

get the one from mobilephonesdirect its unlocked and u will get updates first
and
T-mobile cant do anything since its advertised as ultd so have fun remember its fair usage they cant chage u anything extra if u go over
I also purchased via MPD.
At the time of ordering, I tried to get an answer from MPD on what TMobile FUP I would get, they assured me that I'd get 3gnarled, although I was not convinced.
When connected, I checked with TMobile and confirmed that I had my flexible booster setup to use the unlimited internet with 1gb FUP.
Didn't really think much of it until today.
Just spoken to the Loyalty Team and argued my case. They have now upgraded me to use the 3gb FUP and allowed me to use my flexible booster for something else.
Also, speedtest app is now returning an average download speed of 1900 kbps rather than 350 kbps.
Very happy !!!

Excellent! Mine jumped (in a poor signal area - only 1-2 bars) from 350kbps to @1.5Mbps which is pretty good. Will check when I'm in London at work tomorrow - I reckon it should be even higher.
MPD have been a bit shoddy up until now what with the stock problems and non-registration of SIMs (I had to register mine myself since I'd been waiting a number of days for MPD to do anything about it).
Has anyone had anything in writing from MPD saying that they would definitely be on the 3Gb FUP? I can't find any mention of it on their site...(actually, I can't find anything about *any* FUP on T-Mobile plans).
Since it's not mentioned by MPD that the "unlimited mobile internet" is an add-on, I think it's perfectly safe to assume it's "included" with the plan which in T-Mobile's language means that it's 3Gb straight away for Android devices.
I can't see how T-Mobile can argue any other way when anyone buying direct gets the 3Gb without even asking for it...the contracts are almost (and in some cases) exactly the same amount...
Does it matter?
I got one from MPD yesterday, read this message and called TMobile who say
a) the allowance is for all intents and purposes the same, eg 1gb or 3gb, they don't count it unless you overshoot it dramatically
b) no throttling is applied, any issues experienced are with the quality of the connection
Are both these points correct?
Should I persist complain? I agree nothing was said about this in any of MPD's literature.
Beware MPD
I too have had problems with MPD. They have sent the wrong memory card. Their customer service is terrible. The £25 contract with 300 mins and 300 texts turns out the internet is restricted to 356kbps as the sim was registered to a Nokia phone?
Contacted T-Mobile as others did and got the flexible booster switched to texts. But to get HSDPA speed I had to have the unlimited internet booster added for £5. Argued to case that I should have the speed but the would not budge. Threaten to leave and they offered me 3 months free then £5 a month for last 15 months. So can complain too much as the Phone was free from MPD, whereas it £157 for T-Mobile on the same contract.

Depends on if you plan on using your phone for what it's intended, and wish to get nearer to the cell connectivity speeds it's capable of supporting...I wouldn't want to be stuck with an expensive piece of hardware and only being able to use a fraction of its capacity in terms of download speeds...going from ~350kbps to only 1.5Mbps is a more than four-fold increase...

This is likely the case - 1Gb is a fair bit, but it's not impossible to go over it if you're using the phone intensively without a WiFi connection (things like downloading multiple podcasts with Google Listen - lots of Maps, e-mail and YouTube usage etc.)
al89nut said:

This is a fallacy. T-Mobile will tell you there is no speed restriction each time you speak to them, and say the connections are contended (which *is* true) but there clearly is massive throttling for regular Web 'n Walk (1Gb) users - look at this thread for more evidence from others outside this forum.
As others have attested, as soon as they apply the Web 'n Walk Plus (3Gb) and remove the "unlimited internet flexible booster" which is what MPD customers seem to have all received, if you are already in an HSDPA area after a phone reboot your speed WILL increase immediately. There are no coincidences here!

I certainly did, and would urge others to - I might have to do it again soon since my wife may order a Desire on the same deal...I prefer to have an unlocked unbranded handset, going through T-Mobile direct (despite the fact you'd have to haggle to get the same deal as on MPD) doesn't guarantee an unlocked/unbranded phone.

That doesn't sound correct. I would have pushed further - they are wrong, not you. Argue that it had been incorrectly provisioned when the connection was set up, and as per the standard T-Mobile FUP (quote it from the website to them), users starting new contracts with new Android devices at the same time are obliged to be on the 3Gb Web 'n Walk Plus bundle...

I was lead to believe that the internet was a part of this contract and nothing to do with the flexible boosters.
I received my phone last Tuesday, does anyone know if today would count as part of my 7 days cooling off period or would that have ended yesterday?
edit: i would as its 7 working days.

your 7 days should end on Thursday's end of business day.
7 days cooling period are working days, it start the next working day when you received the phone and they do not count weekend. This is what I was inform when I replaced my Desire.

cheers, i know MPD say you have 14 days but thats with everything in its original packaging etc so want to make sure they dont try and wriggle out using that as an excuse.
Phoned TMobile again.
Phone was registered as a Nokia
They say the price plan is between me and MPD aka Go Away
They say that 3gb and 1gb amounts to no practical difference
They say that a 1gb d/l limit has no throttling back compared to 3gb
(is the throttling just on H?)
So, do I try to take the phone back to MPD and pay the extra £45? What's their return policy and do I have to factory set the phone to erase data, etc?
What would Old Hands here do?
I bought a desire through MPD and my bill says I have an "Internet Booster (FB)" package applied (for free).
Before I call up T-Mobile can someone just confirm to me that...
1) This is incorrect
2) What I should have is 'web&walk plus'
3) 'web&walk plus' is the only way to get HSPDA connectivity?
Have many people been successful in getting their account corrected? Or am I fighting a losing battle before I start!?
I bought my phone from CPW on 1st April and signed up to a contract for 24 mo at £30pm for 900 mins, 500 txt's and mobile internet. I've run a couple of speed tests on the phone and noticed I was getting approx 350kbps download speed, so I called T-Mo to ask them why etc and after speaking with a guy from tech support, he said that I didn't have web n walk plus on my account since I got it from a third party (CPW). He then told me that it would be an additional £5 per month and I would have to sign up to it for 24 months to get the higher speed (otherwise rolling monthly it would be £7.50). I was a bit miffed at this as it also meant I was currently capped to a 1GB fair usage policy, but found it hard to justify paying a further £5 pm just for quicker speeds! So I said no thanks and left it at that.
So I jumped on their website and looked at the terms and conditions of the contract with them, and in it states that if you have an android phone with internet included in the contract, it includes web n walk plus, instead of the basic standard mobile internet I was setup with. The reason for this was that I had the internet on my account as the flexible booster.
So after having spoken now with cust services and telling them that as an android user I should have internet included at the plus speeds, that now freed up my flexi booster, which I now have unlimited texts and unlimited internet at the quicker speeds!
Result!
Sorry for long post, but felt this would be useful for anyone who didn't buy direct from T-Mo as they should be able to get what I've now got (or similar by using the flexi booster on something else).

Hi all,
i am new to this forum but i have had the same problem and i posted the below on teh t-mobile forum
I got my HTC desire from Carphone warehouse £30.00 per month 900 minutes 500 sms and data.
Now i have called T-mobile several times and chatted to the guys on the twitter page,but it took me asking for a manager to get this sorted. Today at last i spoke to someone on the number 150 from the handset and then went through to the option for amemding minutes/internet. I spoke to a helfull girl but she stated as i bought my handset from Carphone warehouse it is on the 1GB tariff and it will cost me a further £5 per month if i want web and walk plus with the 3GB allowance and faster data speeds. She want away several times coming back with same answer.Spoke to a manager who added the Web and Walk + 3GB for free and apologised to me after i quoted on there TnC for the Android handsets that they all should be on the 3GB data allowance and it does not say you are on the 1GB one if you get the handset from somewhere else.
So i have now run the speed test app from the app store and download speeds where i am at the moment up form 356kbs to 1878kbs and 1298kbs upload..Alot better and the person at T-mobile said when i go onto the 3GB my speed wont increase!!! Victory and plus i now have unlimited sms as well
Thanks
Dan
due to the desire being a fairly internet connected phone, i thought i'd try and use it as such only to fall foul of vodafone's rather poor 500mb "unlimited" mobile internet limit.
i've notice the following on their website :
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/forum-53/announcement-137-updated-mobile-internet-charging/
has anyone managed to change to the new "premium" price plan and does it mean that my contract will be reset in any way or does it mean that i can use my desire for what it was designed for ?

Hi, I think you mean 500MB (Megabyte) not 500mb (megabit)
And to be honest unless your on youtube or watching porn 24/7 500MB is plenty for daily use on a phone!
Edit: And as far as i'm aware the 500MB is more of a "fair usage policy" than a restriction,
Meaning if you do go over (unless it's by alot) then you won't get charged!
But if you go over on a regular basis then i believe it's £5 for every other 500MB.

500MB is woefully inadequate for a phone like the Desire - I'm a relatively heavy user and will always go well over 500MB (mostly for email/web with no streaming video).
My brother, who doesn't use his phone internet much at all, consumes close to 500MB every month. It seems to me that a 500MB allowance is really only for very light users.
IMHO, the only UK carrier with a decent data allowance for Android phones is T-Mobile, which give you 3GB.
Regards,
Dave
Without any streaming video just 4 websites including this one and market app/updates I have since 13 august used 423.4mb.
The limit is too low and is a monthly not daily limit.
Sam
I'm on vodafone and use roughly 700mb a month on my desire - I've never as yet had a warning or charge for my data usage.
One annoying thing about vodafone is their online account checker doesn't even tell you what your data limit is! So I'm not sure that i'm on a 500mb limit (though i was certainly led to believe it would be when i took out the contract)
Dial 44555 and Vodafone will send you a txt with how much of your allowance you've used. In the UK anyway.

I called voda to complain as my wife just took a desire out on contract with them and get 1gb & also there tarrifs online now say the desire comes with 1gb of data,

apologies and yes, the limit is a monthly limit rather than a daily limit.
i will try and call vodafone to get my limit upped to 1GB. it's rather disappointing to pay so much for a phone and then not be able to use it properly. i'm not hammering the thing, i just like to be kept up to date ...
i went with vodafone because they were the only network to offer good reception at my home and work but the upgrade to froyo has meant that my connection at home has all but disappeared. :-( perhaps i should have gone with tmobile. or at this rate, it might be cheaper to move house.
I have 3G watchdog installed, and also i use the mobile data settings widget on my front screen, when its not in use i turn it off. when i want it i turn it on. This has greatly improved my battery life too. i only use about 125mb a month now too and thats going on all the sites i normally and downloading off the market.
From that post I understood 2 things.
1.one is that if you got a desire price plan you are eligible to update to 1gb allowance at no extra cost or extra months
2.if you can prove them that by this change in charge you will have to pay more than 10% of what you had to pay before you can send them a written notice and you can brake your contract without any penalty. 10% is if you are paying 30 pounds per month and you have to pay this extra 5 pounds = 35 pounds per month then you go over the 10% and you can send them a letter to brake your contract (but only after you receive a text message saying that you are close to them limit and they have to accept your letter as justified.
it is not clear but i can assume that if you go over 1gb after 1/10 then you automatically pay 5 pounds and also it is not clear if you decide to brake your contract if you keep the desire but i guess you keep it.
what do you think? Did I get it right?
PS: personally i have my phone auto updating facebook email etc, i use it for skype, msn, browsing and some youtube and i am always around 1gb. So i can be happy with the 1gb limit.

that sounds about right to me but it's still very confusing.
from what i understand, if you went slightly over your 500MB limit before they'd probably have done nothing about it.
now they will automatically bill you an extra £5. i'm assuming that this also applies to your 1GB limit too :-(
I think the term that vodafone are refering to is:
b You may end this agreement by writing to us if:
# we increase your charges in the UK which have the effect of increasing your total call and usage charges (based on your usage in the previous month) by more than 10% and you write to us before the increase applies;
and to answer another question:
d When this agreement comes to an end:
* we will disconnect your mobile equipment from the network (you may keep the mobile equipment);
* You will not have to pay us any more for the mobile equipment or any of the other cancelled services.

Well, a few days ago Vodafone sent me a text that said:
To let you know you're nearly at the end of your monthly data allowance of 500Mb. If you need to use additional data there will be a charge of £5 including VAT per 500Mb, however we wont start charging you until 1 October 2010
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reading from that, if you go over by 1 megabyte you will be charged an extra £5.
IMO it should state "500Mb of data" on the plan, not unlimited. I agree with other comments above that this isn't enough. A little bit of web browsing every day on the train soon racks it all up.
i remember the day they called me because i told them i will end my contract (my previous one) and i was thinking of making a contract with t mobile (it was the best deal then) and the guy on the phone make me a match at everything except the internet which he called "unlimited internet with a fair usage of 500MB"(also t mobile was giving a free boldon i think). And i did ask what happens next if you use more than that and the answer was "nothing but if you keep doing that for some months you will probably get a call advising you to change plan".
And now vodafone is about to start charging us. Even the 1GB limit is the 1/3 of the 3GB limit T mobile has.
I am very happy with vodafone in customer service but if I need to pay extra 5 pounds for just another 500MB then I wont keep that contract.
We are in 2010 and mobile internet is a must I am not going to stop using my phone because vodafone is going to charge me. My desire replaced my laptop and I am very happy with that vodafone is not going to tell us how much we are allowed to use our phone.
Just do the maths even on a 50 pounds per month contract an extra 5 pounds is 10% so you are allowed to end your contract and keep the Desire. If you want you can make a new contract and get a new desire or anything else you like! or just make a very cheap sim only contract for your desire with a provider that doesn't care if you like using internet facebook youtube etc so much!

I didn't get a particular amazing deal looking at some of these..
300 mins,
unlim. texts,
500mb data
£79 for handset.
£27 a month @ o2
I'm planning on returning the handset next week (14 day cooling off period) and ordering through dial a phone instead.
Seems like the Orange Panther is the one for me:
600 mins,
unlim txts,
1gb data,
£59 for the handset and £28.50 a month.
Within the cooling off period I am allowed to use the phone aren't I? I don't want to unwrap the handset and realise I'm unable to return it.
I got:
300 mins

1GB data
All for £28-50 per month on orange and a free media link from phones4u the phone cost was £109.99 but after I placed the order I said I was going to cancel it so they refunded the £109.99... I saw some other guy did the same and they refunded his £109.99 as well, its worth the argument with P4U they always seem to refund the phone cost lol

Those with contracts from T-Mobile, did you get your phones from them directly or via another 3rd party on-line supplier (P4U, CPW, etc). In other words do T-Mobile have the phones in stock today?
I know they are crap in updating their website from 'coming soon' to being available. I know Orange have already updated theirs.
EDIT:
Just thought I'd quickly give them a call. They don't actually have them in stock at the time of calling (or possibly not showing on the systems) but they are able to take orders.

Tempted to change my current order to this (I'm on the £29 p/m Ultimate 500 with free headset).
This deal means if unlimited data is a thing of the past in 2 years (or expensive), I'll simply stick on £25 a month which is reasonable.
Seems like I'm going to be waiting ages for Affordable Mobiles to deliver anyway, cancelling and re-ordered will probably make no difference.
Trying to find out when they charge for the handset, if it's right now or on despatch. Dialaphone charged prior to despatch.
