Considering a Treo 180 again.

Does anyone happen to know:
The Vodafone website lists prices for 'WAP over GPRS' for Pay As You Talk (the plan I'm on).

a) does this mean I can do Real Internet Stuff over GPRS with PAYT as well (as the Treo does this)?
b) if so, is 0.73p/KB going to add up to $LOTS for the odd ssh session/google access per day?

i.e. maybe I'd be better off going for something like their £15/month plan with £6 of "online data" and 100 anytime minutes.

It's all so complicated. :)

Update: Oh, and for those who have one, how's the keyboard?

Thanks for the info - but, when you say "an expensive contract or a paid up one", do you mean more than the £15/month one that I mentioned?

With Voda, at least the contract I'm on [line rental only], full GPRS is a pay-for add on: I have GPRS 1, which costs me about 7 quid a month on top of the standard contract.

Voice contracts are seperate from GPRS ones. That said, the cheaper GPRS tarrif with no bundled data is only available to people on more expensive voice tarrifs....

I think you need to be spending about 20 quid/month on voice tarrif to get the cheaper GPRS tarrif, which has access to the internet AP. Alternately, any data inclusive GPRS tarrif will get you internet AP access.

If you're on the 0.7x p/kb tarrif, then it's probably no internet for you, only wap. Get onto GPRS select (0.2x p/kb) by getting an expensive voice tarrif, and you get it. Alternately, pay them for bundled data and you get it

That clear it up?
