Is that a lot for a month or not so good if i browse the internet every day? just wondering if if i should return it and get t-mobile's offer for the unlimited internet, or is 500mb enough do you think? thanks I’ve just taken out the hero on orange and it’s 500mb a month internet.

It's £30 + £5 for internet for Combi 30. For plans £35+Internet and above get a 10% discount on the plan price (Not the internet bit). Unless they have just taken the 10% discount away, then it should be just as I listed. The Cheapest I listed was the £35 Combi deal – No difference. It’s £30 + £5 for internet for Combi 30.

Calling Orange now to see if any chance of upping that Internet limit. Note – the prices above already include the 10% discount mentioned.

Personally I like the look of the Orange plans by comparison, but the 500MB data usage puts me off, but i don't really know what that limit actually means. Main app i want is the BBC mobile iPlayer app, but not sure what sort of data usage watching a programme will entail, and how close I will run that cap. Orange offering also include Sat Nav above Animal 30 plans (or animal 30 on 24 mths) - Nice touch and better than T-Mobile. If anyone can help me with what data usage is likely to be for TV on iplayer, it would be much appreciated. Regards Ken.......... T-Mobile deals on the G2 are as follows:-

Plan Mths Mins Texts Internet Card Price/Mth
Combi-30 18 700 Unlim Unlim 2GB £35.00
Combi-35* 18 800 Unlim Unlim 2GB £36.50
Combi-40* 18 1000 Unlim Unlim 2GB £41.00
Combi-50* 18 1700 Unlim Unlim 2GB £45.50

* 10% discount on all plans above £30 (Phone or online – If it ever turns up online) – The internet £5 add-on is not discounted, but is included in the prices above.

Best I could get out of them was that they'd phone me back when they heard anything. Bah. I just phoned upgrades dept and they knew nothing about the G2 and had no idea when they would be in.
