Still getting free GPRS on O2?

[chriscole]

Is anyone else here still getting free GPRS on O2 in the UK? I've not been billed for GPRS in some 13 months and am now at the point where I'm considering upgrading to a XDA Exec.

Thing is, I don't really fancy losing my free GPRS - has anyone who was getting free gprs upgraded, and if so, did you start getting charged after you did so?

Cheers,

Chris.

I'm in my last month of my O2 Online contract and I haven't been charged a penny for GPRS all through the contract. I did read somewhere that they were not charging for GPRS until 31st December 05, and I read somewhere else that that was rubbish and O2 simply didn't have the facility to charge for it.

Anyway - I upgraded to a Mini S but don't like it, so I am now waiting for my MDA Compact II to be delivered from T-Mobile on Web'n'Walk....eighteen month contract, £30 per month for 100x-net minutes anytime and 40MB (yes....40MB) of data per month. First nine months and last six months are discounted to £15 and there's another £2 discount per month for doing it all online, so basically £13 per month with £28 per month for six months in the middle.

They do the MDA Vario - free on the next tarif I think - 200x-net minutes.

About month 6 for me and no charges yet. I must be using at least £20's worth a month.

I don't keep track, it could be more!

Hi

I was an O2 user for a year before I moved to Orange and I wasnt charged for 95% of my GPRS usage. Occasioanlly a tiny bit would randomly appear on the bill. I had a retail contract bought instore as opposed to online.

In addition for 6 months I wasnt charged for text messages at all, the bill simply said I hadn't used even one of my free texts. Then suddenly in October a massive bill came through with it all on with them demanding over £100!!

Was very worried that I might have got one for GPRS come through eventually, but luckily didnt.
