Two picture messages came through in the night... result = 980kb now!

Time to turn it off I think! Thats another £6 on the bill this month... no wonder average bills are £90 a month!

I'm keeping mine turned off whilst i'm abroad. It costs me enough in calls and text messages without having to pay for data as well. I will settle for the internet at work :ebay: :whistle: As soon as i step off the plane in the UK then i turn everything back on again.

O2 used to sell bundles when you went abroad if you roamed.

They now have a cap of £40 at which time you are sent a text/message saying you have used your limit. The limit can be increased to £80 or even more providing they are happy you can pay tbe bill! (may bemore, I can't remember)

I drove to Paris for a meeting last yearand although i only had a couple of emails, my bill was £20 for additional data which frankly is a bit steep!

I'm away in Frnace again in a couoke of weeks for a break and will leave roaming on to see what happens.
