I have not had any problems with t-mobile so far i even roamed in Croatia at one point using data over 3g on my Nokia N73.

I was running an application called fring which lets you make calls to people on msn over the net and i did not seem to get charged for the data

I agree, apparently their all at it. I’ve spoken to a few people about it and it seems that originally they thought 3GB would be enough to justify the use of a so-called “Unlimited” web browsing experience and when they realized that the overall majority of users where substantially going over 3GB’s they introduced the “Fair Usage Policy”.

It seems to me that when the going gets tough they just make up new terminology to screw the consumers over.

It’s a bit like going in to a restaurant that advertises “All You Can Eat” and then having a waiter looking over your shoulder as you dine.

And to Matty on July 17th, 2008,

If I were you I’d avoid Car phone Warehouse like the plague in future, because of their baffling use of terminology they conned me into running two consecutive mobile contracts at the same time. I couldn’t get out o it for three months! but that’s another story.

Steve you are correct in that tmobile are behaving like school teachers. I think their advertising of “unlimited” is a joke as this would indicate you could view an unlimited ammount of webpages which im sure eventually could ammount to 3gb and use your monthly allowance in one go.

I think ofcom should do something about ISP’s that advertise a so called “unlimited” service.

I too have just received a letter from T-Mobile telling me that I have exceeded my “Unlimited” web usage limit!

Dictionary
unlimited |ʌnˌlɪmɪtɪd|
adjective
not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent : the range of possible adaptations was unlimited.
• Brit. (of a company) not limited.
• Mathematics (of a problem) having an infinite number of solutions.
DERIVATIVES
unlimitedly adverb
unlimitedness noun

Thesaurus
unlimited
adjective
1 unlimited supplies of water inexhaustible, limitless, illimitable, boundless, immeasurable, incalculable, untold, infinite, endless, bottomless, never-ending. antonym finite.
2 unlimited travel unrestricted, unconstrained, unrestrained, unchecked, unbridled, uncurbed. antonym restricted.
3 unlimited power total, unqualified, unconditional, unrestricted, absolute, supreme. antonym conditional, restricted.

Phoned them up and pointed out the obvious oxymoron and forced one of their operators to admit that their advertising was misleading.

They are now telling me that if I continue to abuse their “Fair Usage Policy” i.e. 3GB (a limit in my opinion) I face having my connection speed reduced to that of a dial-up connection! Of which I still have to pay the said twenty nine or so pounds a month (the whole experience was a bit like being told off by your RE teacher)

Apparently, if this happens (and they give you two warnings!) If you behave on the dial-up speed, they will restore you to full flow.

So why the f*** do I still have to pay the extortionate amount of twenty nine pounds something for a connection the equivalent of an old dial-up until I’ve supposedly been punished?

t mobile told me there the only company that don’t charge for going over but they can slow your connection down, i haven’t been with them for a month yet but if someone know how they react to excessive use it would be useful
