Right guys everyone is talking about these unlimited net bundles and I am with orange and have been taking advantage of this and its been a great wee addition to my phone.

So a few things to remember here is that the "unlimited" allowance you will get is to the total of 250MB per month with Orange. I done a good bit of browsing last month on Skysports, BBC, Youtube, Email, OCuK Forums etc all month and used only around 90-100MB and honestly I got a lot of browsing done.

As I see it 250MB is definately enough for most users. However there seems to be an underlying bonus on the data you dont use which I discovered today.

It would appear that the data you have remaining at the months end carries onwards to the next month and supplements the 250MB you get for the start of the month. :eek: I was! Have a look at the pic below, you will see my total allowance this month is 406mb! So months of light useage can help you with months of heavy useage. It will vary month to month I'm pretty sure and for that I think it's a nice wee bonus to have.

If anyone else can confirm this to be the case on their net allowance then that would be great but I'm certianly happy and if people think 250mb isn't enough, on a mobile, you'd be surprised.
 
right so your unused data rollovers...not much of a bonus hehe.

check though, a lot of these rollover tarrifs only carry on for a month or something, so it may not be possible to rack up thousands of mb.
 
Login at orange.co.uk then click 'view the balance of your bundles'

EDIT: I have the 30MB anytime bundle and that appears not to have rolled over - I'll just check whether I used it all or not.

EDIT2:No I didn't go over - but they've charged me twice for my data bundle and charged me for going over 100 texts despite having unlimited texts :mad:

Dial 44555 and select the relevant option and you'll receive an SMS detailing your usage... that's if the data side of things has been set up correctly though. My balance checker texts have never once contained this information, I have read that others do?

Mine only shows bill dates, minutes, texts and mms sent.

Thanks anyway :(

Yep same here!... don't think I've done too much to be honest... I only check emails... and I've set the DL limit for each account to 20k/mail and don't automatically DL attachments...

I'll find out when my first bill arrives!.. :)
 
I'm with orange and looking at my online account it does not show this 250mb like the OP, and when i get my bill it just says Unlimited data.
I've never used more than 100mb in a month, but seems odd that the billing system would be different between customers
