Just received a leaflet with my latest mobile bill...

In the guise of bringing you a fuller internet experience, browsing Vodafone live! will no longer be free.

£1 for 15MB per day usage, £2 per MB for any over that.

I wondered how long it would be before they started charging.

And don't go thinking you can use Skype or do file sharing stuff at those prices...

Leaflet attached.

If it's available for PAYG then I guess so.

Details here (http://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispatch/Portal/appmanager/vodafone/wrp?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=template11&pageID=PPP_0052&tabIndex=1) but doesn't seem to be mentioned under PAYG...

just rung Vodafone World HQ and they say that the current PAYT data charge rate is £7.00 /MB but after 1st June it will be reduced to £2.65 / MB for PAYT sim cards

maybe it's not all bad news if true ? ?
