Contract only. Cheapest "contract" (can be cancelled with 1 month
notice) is £7.50 SIM only which would make it £15 a month you also get
50 cross network minutes on that.

From Mobile Today:-
T-Mobile has introduced its first internet browsing service for pay as
you go customers.

Web 'n' Walk, which was launched for pay monthly customers last October,
allows customers to surf the internet and check email for £1 a day. Each
KB of data is charged at 73p until the customer has spent £1, after
which they will pay no more for the rest of the day.

The range of Web 'n' Walk handsets on pay as you go include the Motorola
V3, the Nokia 6233 and the Sony Ericsson K750i.

Phil Chapman, director of marketing for T-Mobile UK said: 'We're making
mobile internet affordable to all, opening the way for it to become a
mass market service'.

I don't understand this.... 73p per K?

Probably their original GPRS rate on PAYG? But they've just put a
limiter on so that once you get up to £1 it doesn't charge you any
more, from the sounds of that press release.

On contract, it is 75p per Mbyte. Perhaps it's a typo from somewhere.

Problem is I can't find anywhere on their website which gives any
information as to where, when and how it is going to operate.

I think it is 7.3p per K -that seems to be around what I have paid in
the past

Here is the press release:
http://www.t-mobilepressoffice.co.uk...-as-you-go.htm

T-Mobile launches £1 a day mobile internet withweb'n'walkT available on pay
as you go

Bringing mobile internet within the reach of all.

a.. First real internet browsing for pay-as-you-go

b.. New day rate automatically from August 1st

c.. Browse the entire internet all day with web'n'walkT for £1

d.. Web'n'walkT works just like browsing on your PC

e.. Web'n'walkT handset range to expand to 25 by Autumn

London: 20 June 2006 - T-Mobile UK is today taking a significant step in
making mobile internet available and affordable to everyone by launching
web'n'walkT, the first real mobile internet service, for pay-as-you-go
customers with a £1 a day maximum rate.

Web'n'walkT, launched last October for pay monthly customers, is unique in
its approach to mobile internet. Bringing customers the freedom to browse
the web pages they choose, not just those selected by their network, web'n'walkT
offers the real internet, a leap forward from the 'cut-down' web pages
previously available on mobiles. Two thirds of mobile customers are
pay-as-you-go, and today's announcement opens the way for mobile internet to
become a mass market service.

The web'n'walkT £1 daily rate service combines economy with absolute cost
control. Customers can surf, email and check information all for £1 a day.
Each kilobyte of data is charged at 0.73 pence, until the customer has spent
£1 - after which, customers will pay nothing more for the rest of the day.

All web'n'walkT devices are pre-configured to connect immediately to the
internet. They're simple to use, since they work the way customers are
familiar with on their PC, with Google on the home page, together with

T-Mobile Favourites, providing one-click links to some of the UK's most
popular websites, including Amazon, Sky, lastminute, BBC, Yell, Multimap,
BAA and the RAC.

The range of web'n'walkT handsets on pay-as-you-go will now include some of
the most popular devices such as the Motorola V3, the Nokia 6131, the Nokia
6233, the Sony Ericsson K750i and the Samsung E870. The full web'n'walkT
range is being progressively expanded and will reach 25 by Autumn this year.

Phil Chapman, Director of Marketing for T-Mobile UK, said:

"We strongly believe that in future, mobile will be individuals' primary
means of accessing the internet, just as it already is for voice
communications. With web'n'walkT, we've already delivered the first real
mobile browsing. Now, we're making mobile internet affordable to all,
opening the way for it to become a mass market service. This is another
example of how T-Mobile is changing the UK mobile market."

Today's announcement builds on T-Mobile's commitment to providing market
leading value for mobile calls, text and internet. It follows T-Mobile's
redefinition of pay as you go voice tariffs this April; its intoduction of a
new flat rate roaming charge of 55p per minute across most European
countries and the US, also in April; its launch of Flext in March, changing
the UK pay monthly market; and the introduction of a web'n'walkT flat rate
of only £7.50 a month for pay monthly contracts.

T-Mobile's new internet service pricing

a.. Pay-as-you-go: 'Never more than £1' maximum daily rate available on
Mates Rates, Text Appeal and Everyone pay-as-you-go plans

b.. U-Fix: Choice of £1 maximum a day or £7.50 a month extra for unlimited
use

c.. Flext and Relax: £7.50 a month extra for unlimited use

In all cases, compatible handsets are needed. A fair use policy applies. The
pay-as-you-go £1 daily rate will be commercially available from 1st August.
It will also be available to pay monthly customers from 1st December. U-Fix,
Flext and Relax are subject to minimum term contracts.

That is a good offer. All you can eat for a quid is miles better than the
crap rate I've got at Orange at the moment - £1 per megabyte and that's it.

It's not a new or groundbreaking idea, though. Orange have been offering
£1 / day GPRS for months now if you're on PAYG.

What *is* interesting about the T-Mobile offer, and something I'm going
to investigate, is that T-Mobile don't appear to exclude 3G.

AND that it's automatic. No need to activate the £1 unlimited bundle as
with Orange. Here, you know you'll never spend more than £1 per day,
possibly less.

It just gets better.

My new company phone is T-Mobile. Excellent.

You can get £1 a day GPRS with Orange PAYG?? How do you get that and is it
not 3G?
