T-Mobile do a "web and Walk" unlimited (ie, 3Gb/month) 3G service for £29/month.
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/internet/laptop/webnwalk-internet/18mth-webnwalk-plus/t-mobile/compact-ii-card/price-plan/ However, for some reason the card uses a stand-alone Flash application which is incompatible with everything, which rendered it useless when I tried to use it. Nice idea. The T&Cs are quite amusig about "unlimited"... To ensure a high quality of service for all our customers, a fair use policy of 3GB (of data both *sent and received* in the UK) per month applies. If you exceed 3GB per month, we may tell you to reduce your future use. If you again exceed 3GB per month, we may tell you that we are going to apply network protection controls, resulting in a reduced network speed for 14 days. If you exceed 3GB per month for a third time, we may tell you that we are going to apply further network protection controls, resulting in a reduced network speed until you upgrade your price plan to include a larger data allowance. *We do not permit use of this service for internet phone calls*. Roaming charges apply. On 18/09/2007, Ian Forrester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yep I wonder if that's also a problem for developers.
