Yeah, my allowance is typically 500MB. They told me I get 3 months unlimited, but at around 450MB they told me I'm near my limit.

| Currently got the IPhone 4s on contract with Orange. I get a 1gb of internet with my tariff. But what I want to know is that I'm going to Prague tomorrow for the weekend and will it cost me to make calls, text and use my interent while overseas?

Easy answer is ask Orange how much it will cost you because it will cost you.

Certainly will, or at least it cost me to use my Orange Blackberry in Greece last summer, ring them & they will tell you in very simple terms and then text you all the details so you don't forget when you're sat in a bar in Prague at daft o'clock and decide to ring some random mate back home.
The calls and texts weren't actually that expensive (didn't bother with internet) but then again I'm a bloke so only used it to ring home and say "Everything ok ?" then hang up.

Why not pretend that there's no mobile coverage in Prague and leave your phone at home?
It's only a weekend FFS

I don't give a sheet if it's a day, weekend or a month in Prague. I asked a simple question and yet again you don't give a reply to what I asked about.
But most people are used to that when your online.

Even if you've got data inclusive on your'e deal it's only inclusive in the uk so any data used abroad will be at £3 a mb if you take say my O2 contract. You get a text fromO2 if you go past £20 saying you've past the half way point of the £40 limit. They state they will only ever charge you upto £40. I don't know if they cut you off after this limit though the wording suggests they allow data usage after the £40 and you don't get charged for it! If the bar/hotel has free wifi turn off roaming and use that!

| Ring the network and see what they say. I went away with my 3 phone the other month and they said I could have data usage for UK prices and that's what they charged me.

| Has anyone used/can anyone recommend any of the online unlocking services? I've got a Nokia 6700 locked to T-Mobile I want to use as my travelling phone but I'm being quoted £25 by the unlocking place near my office which seems a bit steep.

Can't/won't T-Mobile do it? If not it looks like £10 gets you a code on eBay.

The contract ended a year or so ago, I didn't think to ask for it at the time - I rang T-Mobile about it the other day and they said they couldn't help because the account isn't active, which doesn't sound right to me but I know nothing about these things.

Sounds about right for T-Mob, only way I've done something like this with them is take it into one of their stores and ask if they can help, you'll need to buy a PAYG SIM from them too.

I've managed to sort it with them via their twitter help account, they're charging me £15 which I can live with.

Does anyone know why the app needs to be able to 'read sensitive log data'? Is this strictly necessary, or is it just so that Sky can harvest personal information?

Uncool. Appears they have only released it for 2 Android handsets so far and mine is not one of those.

| Last month, I had my mobile and few hundred pound stolen from my car. ( My fault I know.) I had insurance so got a temporary replacement mobile until they sent me an upgraded phone.
My contract ends next month, which I have cancelled. This morning I received a bill for £83. 42, which is some 60 quid more. My snag is, between my mobile being robbed and me reporting it, the scroat had joined upto some texting service -£20, and used the internet -£13 odd. My argument is, I don't use the internet on my phone and have not joined any texting service, so as my previous 2 years bills prove, could I have a case of not paying the full amount.
ps/ should I know cancel my direct debit? I have asked Vodafone to send me a paper itemised bill. cheers.

Not sure why it should be your fault if some low-life steals from you.

| Presumably you reported the crime to the police and informed them of when the theft is likely to have taken place.
Vodafone will be able to look at what the phone's usage was after this time and date and so it should then be assumed that whoever nicked it will have racked up those charges. Whether the insurance covers this, though, is anyone's guess; and if now, I wouldn't bet on Vodafone refunding those charges.

| I would suggest you persist with Vodafone. If they take your money by direct debit then, if they will not repay write and ask them to check with their legal department why they are not committing the criminal offence of money-laundering (ie knowingly benefitting from the proceeds of a crime)? Say that if you do not receive a full written explanation of their view of the law and / or a full refund within 10 days you will have to assume they have committed an offence and will report the to the Serious Organised Crime Authority. Furthermore, ask why they do do not consider they have committed an offence under the Theft Act by taking money from your bank account and refusing to return it when you have advised them that you did not utilise their service? If their T&Cs include some clause to protect them in the small print, is it an Unfair Contract?
