the lasted intervention which is internet on mms phones hav made some owner break their wallets with costs over a grand for internet downlaods on the 3 network. i was suprised at these incredible costs as it is more than i earn in a week so i believe that its wise to remain on pre-paid where i limits the costs upon the amount of money spent upon phone usage

If you live in Central California to North Caifornia. You should all get what I got. MetroPCS. Very cheap, $40 gets you unlimited, yes I mean totally unlimited, local and long distance calling. Add $3 and get unlimited Texting, and for another $3 get Voice messaging, caller ID, and call waiting. So for a grand total of about $46 + tax, you get all that.

My SIM provider cost me Rp25/kb or 45 UScent per Kb. It is very expensive... but however since many SIM provider are providing you with internet service, there is like cost competition in here... now, you just have to pay Rp25000/kb or 3 $ per month for unlimited use... but... yeah it is definitely slow....

Ohh I don't know about the internet on mine...I think it might be 10p a minute or 1pound a minute..
If they are going to be so expensive they might aswell not add this option on phones..I mean not everyone is going to use it..if it's so expensive

Yeah, I am on Three and I know that it costs $8 a Megabyte to use the internet, a staggering cost and considering that browsing Three's own internet area is free, I guess it is justified.

Yes I agree with you dear friend. Even I have tried internet for sometime on mobile but it was so expensive for me to aford that I droped the facility and prefered to get the facilities from other sources except mobile phones.
