It's easy when you know how...

Try browsing some web sites on there, some pages I've come across are
1MB at a time.  It really does annoy me that some of these online
retailers don't have a mobile site, Amazon and eBay are about the only
ones that tend to have mobile versions of their sites, other such as
HMV, Currys, Comet, Tesco seem to only think people will browse their
sites from home.  Not good when you're trying to compare prices (and in
some cases I've ended up going elsewhere because they haven't got a
mobile site and I'm not near a computer).

Also there's Google Maps which can sit in the background on my phone
always updating my location, and podcasts (although I tend to download
these when at home using the phone's slow but free wifi), um... e-mail too.

Yes I can use 1GB if I try, although I've only gone over it once so
far.  Unfortunately on Three, the mobile portal doesn't tell you your
data usage, only that you haven't exceeded it.  So I don't know how much
data I've used until I'm nearly hitting the limits.

What we need is a meeting where teachers attend, we can then do talks on
the different software for education and actually ask them what they
nede as a school.  what is wrong, with the current set up,  how much
they would be prepared to pay etc

do our market research with actual teachers, then get together and
propose something.

Um... what have teachers got to do with exceeding a mobile data allowance? :-)

Did you reply to the wrong message?
