Orange now offering £8 p/m unlimited data bundle?

[Pdog]

The below is taken from another forum.

A new bolt on which is £8 per month which allows you unlimited GPRS / 3G data usage on your phone.... and its available now apparently!!

There are a few conditions...

- you must sign up to a 12 month contract of this bolt on (which works out to be £60 per year)
- you cant use your phone as a modem
- traffic from msn messenger is not included in this, which means you pay extra for the data used by IM

I thought that was a bit strange considering that IM traffic is a tiny amount compared to skype etc.


Just checking with Orange now regarding some more details on this. If this is true I may hold hold for the M3100 to be released on Orange Instead of jumping ship to T-Mobile.

You also need to be on a Premier or Panther tariff to qualify for the bundle.

I'll need to check out the cost of the Panther package. I just called CS and they couldn't find any info on it.

Edit: Just checked the minimum Panther tariff is £45 plus the £8 for data, taking the total to £53.

Oh well.
