I dont think this is the case any more m8. They allow free browsing these days which is powered by Yahoo. I think the free amount is limited to 30mb per month though.

Also, with the new deals you can get free MSN for life.

[casio]

is the 30mb for new customers or do existing customers qualify?

no i with them the now dont there crap network

I've just gone with 3 and can browse any site I want, no garden walled internet for me. I also haven't had a problem with network coverage/dropping calls like I thought I might have with 3.

[casio]

ive been with them since they started and they have got better, theyre not the best network in the world but they are better than they used to be,

im still in a walled garden so if i dont pay 2.50 a month then the wall stays up but it looks different for new customers,

if you dont need to call customer services they are ok but if you EVER have to call them you'll be reading the contract before you get off the phone for a way out

Switch to Orange - see the future! 3 suck if you read online reviews, along with O2. They are even glueing sim cards in to stop people unlocking phones etc. (Yes yes, i know that the n series nokias are unlockable, but still...)

[Duppydude]

3 are only glueing the sim cards to their Pay As You Go phones as too many people buy them and then unlock them to use on other networks. There must be a way around the glue as what happens if you phone goes faulty it needs to be sent off, what happens to your sim?

[casio]

if you dont care about the sim just crack it off its only the plastic they can glue in (btw i didnt know they had done that -and im kinda impressed that theyve been that sneeky) if they glue the metal part of the sim then the contacts wont be made and it wouldnt work just get a nice sharp knife and cut it off
