You've just posted the details! Browsing orange world is now free, if
you go off-site or download anything you pay.

£5 a month gets you free evening and weekend.
£8 a month gets you 30Mb
£41.13 a month gets you 80Mb.

Jon, thanks. These are the contracted, post-pay, monthly rates, I
think, is that right? These are not pre-pay options to purchase a
month's service?
May I double check - the 30MB is a total monthly figure, not a daily
figure covered by the £8 monthly charge? [And same, presumably, for
the 80MB figure?]

Previous press speculation
http://www.techworld.com/mobility/ne...gtype=samechan
had conjected that pay monthly users, outside a bundle, might be
capped at £1.50 daily. Do we know if that did turn out to be part of
Orange's offer?

I checked O's site yesterday for PAYG rates. I may not have found the
right pages, but I didn't see anything about the 7 days for £5 idea
that was floated in the press article. Or the other suggestion that
out-of-bundle charges could be capped at £2 daily. Anyone know if the
PAYG offer did change? (The existing £1 daily PAYG offer is quite
useful - we use GPRS when offsite 4 or 5 days a month, and although it
was/is (?) capped at 25MB daily at 3G rates, it was very useful for
business email & attachments etc., especially because GPRS/3G is much
more pervasive than WiFi hotspots, and it is simpler billing anyway.)

Jon, do you know if browsing Orange World is only free on contract, or
also free on PAYG? [Presumably not free on PAYG, since O incurs costs
when operating it, and PAYG customers would not be contributing to the
costs caused by their use.]

And does this new tariff mean that email sending and receiving,
to/from the phone's Orange Email account, is part of Orange World, and
would be free on contract?

Yes, £1.50 per day maximum as of 1st June, bizarrely existing customers
can opt for this but they have to actively request it.

Yes it did. £5 per week, or theres still the £1 per day unlimited.

All looks pretty poor to me when compared to 3's X-Series or T-Mobile's Web
'n Walk, but then it has been a long time since Orange were innovative.

Same as TMobile (except it's £1 per day with them). I think it's all
part of the policy of pissing off existing customers and only chasing
new ones. Perhaps `new connections` looks better to the bean counters
than `continuing, happy customers`?

Ouch, that's expensive. I've got Web'n'Walk on T-Mobile and my £7.50
per month gets me 1GB per month. £8 for 30MB or £7.50 for 1GB? Hmmmm....

When my handset did something strange it downloaded 80MB+ over 2 days,
30MB a month (1MB per day average) is nothing - for example, the 'My
eBay' page is 700kb per load. 30MB is hardly enough to load that once
per day.

N95 downloading GPS maps, perhaps?
