A no frills tariff for calls and texts in the UK.

Our value tariff is perfect if you only use your mobile to make calls and texts to the UK.

You won't be able to send or receive pictures, video messages or access the internet via GPRS.

You also won't be able to make or receive calls or texts when abroad.

wap is a web standard like HTML for mobiles, but generally when people talk about it its with regards to the connection - which essentially a dialup connection from the phones inbuild modem.

GPRS is a newer connection method - kinda like broadband. Its quicker than previous methods and only charges based on the amount of data you download, not the time your connected. You can do any web based stuff over GPRS so you can use WAP over it.
