250 MB On A Phone !!


Viv

Recommended Posts

Morning,

Does anybody know how much 250 MB is actually worth (cash)... this is what I get for Internet access from my new phone per month.

Help.

Also: for a trial period, I am supposed to be able to receive Hotmail. At the start I did so. Then I went along the coast to another town. A sign flashed up basically indicating I was elsewhere, and would I like to reconnect - I did so.... However, when I got back to my own town, it seems I have now lost all the ability to connect to Hotmail?????

Why??

Edit: Twitter people are telling me that this is equivalent to 12 hours of surfing?? Hmmm... not a lot really, eh.

250MB a month? If you use your phone a lot that's not very much at all. It goes KB, MB, and then GB in order of data size (or at least I think so). As to what's it worth I have no idea, it's not much in terms of data so I wouldn't think it would be that expensive...

Mmmm. Wonder if this is why my hotmail has been taken away.... I got it on a 14 day trial, but have been accessing it a lot.

I am still fizzing because there was a link Jono posted on twitter, I attempted to download it (it was about the labour party) - it would NOT download, and it cost me £2.00 !!!!!!!! (for like, about, 10 seconds)

*mad*

I don't think I have sufficient brain power for all this..... one thing I won't be doing is randomly downloading stuff off of twitter in the future.

At least I get 300 free texts per month now, so even if I go over the score on twitter, I can use all these to tweet.

Even though the hotmail was just on trial, I was in at it over and over... must be why Orange actually took it away altogether.

Orange are charging £5.00 per month for 250MB hotmail, and £10.00 for 250MB twitter and facebook - PAYG (didn't want a contract) - I think I may have been 'done' *

* rapidly coming to this conclusion

what phone do you have Viv ?

i have a P&G Orange SanFrancisco (Android) when i put on £10 i get 300 free texts plus free internet 100MB a month, the 100MB lasts me just over three weeks, as i only use it for twitter & about 10 mins web browsing a day, i don't use it for calls very much at all, so i get about five weeks from £10, when i want to download apps onto it i just use the Wi-Fi connection so i don't get charged for data.

whats the Hotmail charges for ? just access them via the internet on your phone.

I've got an Orange Rio now... The free internet doesn't kick in until the start of next month.... I never thought of just accessing via internet on phone to hotmail.

My phone says you have to pay £5.00 for the extras - mind you, it may mean once you have used up all the allowance.

Edit: In fact, it isn't... because my hotmail was on trial for 14 days, or at least it was supposed to be, then was removed after two days. Mind you, I think I may be responsible for this. I think I may have connected myself up to another region, whilst living in this region !! I'm going to Orange shop tomorrow to ask for some help.

I went to Orange, Alan, who say that the Hotmail problem is hotmail's fault, and not Orange's... they say to contact hotmail, but I have been into my hotmail account, and there isn't a way to contact at all. So I will just have to go via the orange browser.....

I went back into the shop today, and my phone collapsed, because my battery is so low... so brilliant, I wound up not been shown anything!!

    • But he is posh, the opposite to Jordan. Not down to earth. You’re right, the show does play on it. If I’m honest, I stopped listening to Going Home, the day Laing started. Sam and Danni were better. 😂
    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable??
