But 3 provide me with data today at £10/GB so what gives? At least its £10/GB today as I am roaming in the EU and using there '3 like home" service. But they say they will stop this end of June... what them I wonder? So data costs £0.30/MB, that’s 0.3 x 1000 per GB = 300£/GB. But 3 provide me with data today at £10/GB so what gives?

It is a contract so you don't have to buy any topup credit (and so it can never run out) with free voicemail calls. It must have saved me a fortune over the past few years! My average monthly bill is <£1 as I only use it for the occasional text message and to tell the folks when I will be home.

I can rattle off a short text in under ten seconds, so 2p sounds pretty reasonable. Wow, 10p a minute for texts? I can rattle off a short text in under ten seconds, so 2p sounds pretty reasonable.

If you get this, 75min = £15 OR you could go on a £15/month contract and get 300mix/match and a free phone on a 6 month contract. However - this would be a good deal for kids who just 'miss call' their friends/ parents to call them back. Good for emergancy use! For this you just need (I think) an unlocked phone but you will not get the data services. Give a brick a life? If you are going to use more than 75 minutes then you are better off going on contract.
