Title: Re: Fml and iPhones advice please Post by: boldie on January 14, 2011, 10:29:09 AM kinda defeats the point of having an i-phone if you look to restrict data usage imo All Telecomms providers are looking in to doing this. The rise of the smart phone took the service providers by surprise a bit TBH and they are all now trying to catch up with their system upgrades. Some network integrations have delayed site upgrades by a fair bit as well but they are all currently playing catch up. In the mean time I would expect most networks to come out with some sort of "fair useage" policy.

I don't have one myself so have no idea how much fair useage should actually be. Title: Re: Fml and iPhones advice please Post by: kinboshi on January 14, 2011, 11:50:01 AM T-mobile don't like their customers. They've reduced customer's data use to 500MB a month from 1GB, or to 500MB from 3GB if you've got an Android phone.
They say that the data is for email and web browsing not watching videos or downloading large files. Idiots.

T-mob/3 (Same network these days) are one of the providers that have underestimated the rise of the 3G smart phones. I am sure they love their customers, they just can't supply them all if everyone would use upto 3GB a month. They have done a big 3G roll out the past few years and have another one planned starting later this year.

I read a news article about it - so if I upgraded a few months ago I still have the 3GB allocation? Of course, I've heard nothing from T-mobile directly. Title: Re: Fml and iPhones advice please Post by: Acidmouse on January 14, 2011, 02:49:02 PM Yes thats what I heard when it was on BBC talking about it.
Title: Re: Fml and iPhones advice please Post by: kinboshi on January 14, 2011, 02:52:15 PM :)up
I rarely get anywhere near the allocation, but if I need to use tethering on the phone (on the train) or if my broadband goes down then it can eat up a lot of it very quickly. Title: Re: Fml and iPhones advice please Post by: sofa----king on January 14, 2011, 04:46:45 PM Solution
