GPRS Download Fees

Hello,
I have been having terrible problems with o2 over the fees for GPRS downloads. According to O2 I have downloaded £25 on one day on New Year's Eve, when I was safely tucked up in bed. Has anyone else had problems with excessive download GPRS fees? Help
there was a time when it was free on o2!
i think its about £2.30 a meg so it is possible you could have download 10 meg without realising.
btw this page was 200KB so you would only need 2 load this 50 times and it will cost you the same!
i would ring them up and have a chat with them im sure if you speak to the right person they will discount it
Whoah!!!
According to O2 I downloaded 57Mb of gprs data @ 09:15 on 31/12 over a 9 hour gprs session!
The charge was £137 plus VAT, which I have raised a network query report on.
I *think* that this might have been a fault with the quickgps download application - as I don't surf the web at all with my Orbit.
I should get the report shortly - according to the person I spoke to today. Only the SIXTH person I have spoken to at O2 about this since 10th January.
Hi there,
I was billed for 51mb on the 30th Dec and for 52mb on the 31st. For a grand total of about £260. Ridiculous and obviously either a network fault or a problem with the supplied applications. Some guy on the MoDaCo board got charged £900+ for the 29th/30th.
QuickGPS.exe et al
Hi All,
I was able to arrest my own case and only had to pay about £3.
This was because I saw the application connecting and picking up updates.
Of all the culprits, I would say any application that needs to be updated from time to time might be the problem, so check the following:
1. QuickGPS - which updates the positions of the GPS satellites
2. Any antivirus - F-Secure or Antivir(This was the culprit for me)
3. Any new agents such as PocketExpress and Avantgo.
If not configured to update during a physical active sync......then you GPRS bill wil be astronomical.
O2 have always taken 2 months to charge me for my GPRS usage. They say this is due to network problems and this will be fixed soon. This was over a year ago.
I'm guessing you guys have only just had your usage stats for December, which would figure, am I not the only person with this problem?
I checked my unbilled usage online on Jan 10th - which is when I noticed the gprs charge.
Incidentally O2 "forgot" to raise the network query. As a gesture of goodwill they have applied a £10 credit to my account as an interim measure whilst the "investigation" continues. Of course the 9hr gprs session will resolve to the quickgps download server, I just want my money refunded.
Just disable GPRS from auto connecting.
Use this app.

Direct push e-mail

Anyone use this? I've seen these companies that offer it for 5.00/month....what is the hit from your mobile operator for data charges? Whats the chepest way to do it (other than pulling e-mails as and when)?
anybody??
I'm interested in this too
I've got mine setup with the exchange of the company I work for and the amount of daily data rounds about the 1MB per day with an average of 20 mails per days.
I have a data bundle here in Geneva (Switzerland) with gives me 2GB for 69CHF (Around 45 $US) extra a month (on top of my bill). Works pretty nicely

Well its still showing under my options. But it looks like its not working when i try to connect using IE. Anyone able to connect still?
for those that dont see Tmobile web service, change your phone to a non-smartphone/ppc model. I believe you will then see the option.

that is correct. change your phone model and the service will appear...
go to change phone options and choose a basic phone.
I saw that before too but the phone model change fixed that problem.
I had the same problem. My Dash got stolen, so I briefly tried a blackberry curve (lame).
After purchasing another Dash, I went to the website to cancel the BB service, and add the T-Zones back on. The T_zone option was gone, no matter how bogus of a phone I told mytmobile i had.
I made a call to a CSR and they knew exactly what I was talking about, "the 5.99 plan?" she said, right before addding it back onto my account.
Dial 611.

In the US: We Pay A Ridiculous Amount Of Money For Slow Internet

Great video.
http://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Why-You-Have-To-Pay-A-Ridiculous-Amount-Of-Money-4268428.php
As the new Millennium began, America led the world in adoption of Internet access; ten years later we'd fallen far behind most industrialized nations in terms of speed and prices charged. Most Americans receive Internet via slow copper wires, and nearly 30% aren't connected at all. Only 7% of Americans are connected to optical fiber, vs. nearly half for South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong; meanwhile, our service costs about 6X that in Hong Kong and 5X that in Stockholm.
why is this in a phone thread?
Probably just to raise awareness that we have slower internet than most other countries in the world (unless you live in Kansas City of course).
Statement has been made but really doesn't need to be on a Developer's site. Maybe G+, FB or Twitter. #usinternetisslowerthanrestofworld

Oh Snap: T-Mobile’s First Seven LTE Markets Detailed For March 26th Launch
March 22, 2013 David Beren 6 Comments
With crowd-source testing showing off possible T-Mobile LTE launch markets early this morning, we’re pleased to announce an “unofficial” list of the first LTE cities going live. We’ll have to wait till next Tuesday and presumably an announcement direct from T-Mobile’s CEO but until then, we’re pretty sure we’re looking at a complete list of the first seven launch markets.
Las Vegas and Kansas City are already well known, and San Jose matches up to the OpenSignal list from earlier today. The rest of the live includes Phoenix, Houston, Washington DC and Baltimore.
That’s it, there it is…*unfortunately*no new phone announcements contained within this image other than the already announced Z10 for March 26th.
