All sorted, the guy I spoke to thought that it was only 250MB free as oposed to 500MB (although even that would have been better than me paying

Just to clarify a point that is a little misunderstood. I work in Orange Retail, so I thought I'd clear it up.
500mb is classed as unlimited as it is subject to a fair usage policy. All mobile networks operate the same standards of 'unlimited' advertising.
It is designed to make sure that people, usually business users (large businesses it has to be said), aren't abusing the system and using ridiculous amounts, which is harmful to the mobile networks business model.
Orange have consulted Trading Standards and relevant agencies before they attempted this advertising campaign and have been allowed to continue, as the terms and conditions of sale clearly state it is a fair usage policy, not a capped allowance, or it would be advertised as such.

Thanks.

I've called. They were *not* able to update the plan immediately to the 500Mb inclusive web browsing. They weren't able to add it as a bundle either.

What they did was change my plan to the new one as shown in your screenshot, effective from my next bill.

I couldn't bring myself to check the Ts&Cs Stefan. I simply couldn't…

I wonder what package they offer for PAYG customers. Their current “Unlimited” data package is limited to (unbelievable) 2MB!

You guys should also check their T&Cs, last time I checked, unlimited did not include streaming and Instant Messaging. Ridiculous.

Mike,
From what I have heard that although it is 500mb, unless you are taking the mickey you will no be charged and you will be contacted first. In that sense the offer seems to be more similar to vodaphone's the say the likes of three. -

So the new 'Unlimited' is 500MB? What's next? 'Free' =
