Some years ago I was with Orange PAYG, and ocasionally used their GPRS for
access to the web and email. Problem is it was a complete rip off. Are
Orange still a rip off for GPRS, or have they become better value these
days? I am considering using them again, but only when I cannot get into
the three network. How much are their costs these days for GPRS on PAYG?

The default rate (which takes over in the absence of any bundle) is £3
per Mb for PAYM and £4 for PAYG, however there is also daily cap of £1,
shortly to be reduced to 60p.

It has not been mentioned here I see.

O2 have a new pay and go tariff called 'text and web'. When you top up
£10 or more per month, there is a sliding scale of benefits. If you
top up the basic £10, you can that money credited to your o2 pay and
go balance, and get 300 texts and 'unlimited web', unlimited really
meaning 500Mb 'fair-use'.

Still, pretty good for just a tenner a month, plus the balance to use
on calls.

I use a nokia 5800 with it, which is great for web-browsing with
latest firmware, so it can replace a laptop for checking news websites
and what-not. I still use opera-mini just for ease of use.

Orange have been doing that for about 2 years, with a reduced data
bundle allowance albeit.
