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!!

    • The irony of Jordan moving to Capital Radio is it seems to speed up Greg's eventual move from Radio 1 Breakfast. I think Greg's show is great, but he hasn't had any significant competition in his time on mornings. Now there is there'll be more scrutiny of the figures, he might be more tempted to move, which is probably what Jordan wanted before he left!
    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
