GPRS access in the UK

[RikF]

Does anyone know of a mobile operator who is packaging decent amounts of GPRS access with a contract in the UK at the moment. T-mobile have pulled their 100MB a month option and you can only get data now if you get a blackberry..... Not ideal if I want to connect my UX50 via bluetooth so I can have IM, browsing etc. Orange will do me about 30MB for about 30 quid on top of my contract - does anyone know of any better?

TIA

It's official - T-Mobile are wankers!
Right, time to change providers... if I hear of any good deals, I'll let you know.

Just for your info Im with orange and atm their GPRS system is being a bit funny

That's odd since in the US T-Mobile has the best rates on GPRS. They are offering unlimited data on certain ports for free, and for only $20 full Internet unlimited.

Agreed Orange is not reliable but is quick when it works. Vodafone will start business suppor for 3G and this will include broadband type data capacity unlike '3' which still does appear to offer data services.

Doesn't Sprint offer unlimited data for $15?

[Lupin Addams]

Maybe it does - but we're looking for *UK* suppliers of GPRS here!
