"Unlimited web access subject to a fair use policy of 25MB per day
(for 30p) or 1GB per month (for £20 top up)." See
http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/genericContent.do?contentId=payasyougo.our.tariff. shop.sm285.

IIRC the charges for going over the limits are quite high, but I can't
locate them on their website at the moment.


£2 per MB.

That's pretty hefty. If I hadn't bothered to look it up, previously,
I would have expected to be charged at most 30p for each 25MByte
increment.

Having said that, I don't think I've ever gone over about 12MBytes in
a day of what I consider pretty heavy Internet browsing from my
handset... email, web pages, Google Maps and IM.


This week i've been playing with Google Maps street views on my
Skype S2 on 3pay, not cost me a penny as it comes out of the
inclusive 150Mb
