500mb for the cheaper plans (up to £35pm) and 1GB for t'others. Will not affect those on current plans

Which isnt any different from the "Fair Use" policy IIRC. They will just have a better go and enforcing it. Shocker.

Orange it is for me then.

O2 are allowing you to buy out your current iphone contract at £20 per month you have left to get the upgrade

would rather have capped usage on O2, than never get a signal on Orange

Just checked and I use about 400mb a month, and I thought I used it a lot. So personally, I'm not fussed about the new limit

"In stark contrast, Verizon Wireless in the US will start rolling out LTE services to millions of customers later this year. In its tests, it has found that LTE has an average download speed of 5 to 12 Mb a second – even faster than the average British residential broadband link and much faster than today's 3G services."

FFS? have you seen the Verizon data charges? On a basic 900 Minutes"Smartphone" calling tariff data is charged at $1.99 PER MB; so O2's included 500Mb would cost you over $500.

 

Or you could bundle "unlimited data" too (which is really about 500Mb based on fair use), which is $29.99 ON TOP OF your calling plan of $39.99.

 

Not how the calling and data plans dont include SMS and MMS? Correct, you have to fork out for those on top too. 500 messages is $10 per month.

 

Want voice mail? $1.99 per month

 

Billing? $1.99 per month

 

Oh, and dont forget if you want a Smart Phone in the States it will cost you too as the networks dont subsidise the price like O2, Voda etc do here. So lets say a nice figure of $250 for the phone.

 

And thats for 3g, not this new LTE service!

Settings > general > usage

 

Doesn't give monthly usage, just total overall, but useful for working out a monthly average
