Do Orange text you when you are nearing/at your monthly limit?
O2 text you when you reach 80%, then when you hit it, slow your connection down til you enter a new billing month. That sounds a lot fairer than just letting you go over then charging you like mad when you do, which is what it seems it what Orange do?
I'm newly on Orange and haven't had my first bill yet; I'm careful to only d/l apps when I'm at home connected to my WiFi, but I do have Friendstream, Gmail and weather widgets running on my phone. I do a little bit of light browsing during the day at work (usually checking one or two forums or news sites). Sometimes when browsing I click -menu - windows, and find that I have several web windows open that I didn't realise I had open.
Reading this thread has now got me a bit worried about much data my phone is munching through without me knowing.
When I was on the phone to O2, cancelling my old contract, the guy on the other end was going through the details of their contract that I didn't end up taking, and he assured me that 500mb was more than enough and most people don't go anywhere near it.
Two different sales staff in Carphone Warehouse told me the same thing.
Here is a table on the O2 site which shows how much you can do with 500mb
here It does seem quite a lot.
What is the best data monitoring app out there?
