Quite easily seeing as...

1Mb = 1000Kb,
1Kb = 0.5p
therefore 1Mb = 1000 x 0.5p
which mean.... 1Mb = 500p

So that's, errr, £5 then! And they say numeracy skills in this country are slipping.

Orange also have a £1.50 max daily charge for data, but if they did charge 4p per Kb then that'd be £40 per Mb!
