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...

Yeah it's not really much. I have 1GB included in my con-tract at about £20 a month (With about 5000 mins/text etc) and that seems reasonable for the average user. 250MB is what, a quarter of that.

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!!

If it did, it would probably be the only thing it does.

Total embarassment asking to be shown what to do, and the phone won't go on.... no energy... the guy just looked at me like he thought I was barking, you know.

Doovde, does downloading cost more at certain times of day than others?? This morning it cost me very little to download mail, yet the other day (in the afternoon - evening), I swear it was twice as much???

I would have thought it usually costs depending on how much email there is to download. If you get emails with a lot of images etc, that'll use more data and might cost more because of that.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
