o2 internet bolt on & messages...

[Hitman]

Hi, I'm gonna get a mobile with o2 on contract... it's 100 mins and unlimited texts for £15 a month. I know there's not many mins but I hardly ring, I mainly text... but I've got a couple of questions.

I will be wanting to add the internet bolt on, I know it costs £7.50 extra, but what I want to know is it unlimited usage? Or do they have some 500mb fair use policy?

Also, it says one picture/video message is the equivalent to 4 normal text messages - so with unlimited texts it doesn't really matter? I can send (in theory) as many as I want?

Thanks!

Well i have unlimited texts with T-Mobile, and i still have to pay for picture msgs. so it may just be different company plans but i imagine its the same Thomas.

It says this on o2's site...


Inclusive text

Your inclusive text allowance can be used for UK text, picture, video or roaming messages. 1 picture or video texts sent is equivalent to 4 text messages. 1 text message sent from abroad is equivalent to 4 text messages.

And inclusive texts would mean the unlimited ones I imagine...

It used to be 2 text messages were used when sending a picture message and it was 4 from abroad, Unlimited texts i think with them are like 10,000. I'm sure there is a sim only package thing that let's you add the web bolt on as an extra and it's not as much as the £7.50 or is your unlimited texts that extra thing?

Only problem with that is I'd have to shell out a couple of hundred for the phone... and £15 wont cover my habbo addiction! :(

I'm currently using the o2 web bolton which is £7.50 like you said, the fair usage policy is 200mb a month and o2 will warn you when youi get close to exceeding this amount (the 200mb varies, sometimes you can go over without problems and sometimes they are really strick but you will never pee off o2 without them warning you so you dont really have anything to worry about).

As far as picture messages go, I have an o2 sim with unlimited texts and I don't pay extra for picture messages so don't worry about it :)
