Just bought a Vodaphone GPRS Prepay Card with Free 5 Mb of usage included for £29.99 + VAT + Postage. Total Cost £41.11

Seemed a good price to me.

It was from SIMPLY Computers (Misco) at

Hi

Looks like a good deal if it came with a prepay sim (which i assume it must have if you get 5mb for free) it definitely is a good buy... if it doesnt have a sim you may find you have a problem..

We use one of these cards from time to time and it works well.

anyone know the cost per mb after you have used your 5 mb. I have one of the older cards on contract £ 5.00 per month + £2 per Mb. Anything other than email costa a fortune.

Found out the cost on Vodaphone site

Uk £4 a mb , when roaming abroad £ 14 a Mb, I think I'll wait for long range wireless due next year.

Ps in some countries you can get unrestricted use for around £ 50 a month - not the uk tho.
