Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Seems odd, as going directly through O2 unlimited data really is unlimited, this is from the web bolt on policy (I have this on SIM only, 800 mins/unltd text/unltd data £20)

# The Web Bolt On allows you unlimited use of Telefonica O2 UK Limited's Edge/GPRS/3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
* in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
* to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
* in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.
If O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges, impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission, remove the Web Bolt On from your account or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Does anyone know how much O2 actually check for the above? That is, does anyone use the O2 Web bolt-on on another handset and regularly tether this to a computer, or do VoIP? Streaming audio/video (assuming they mean more than just the odd youtube clip), P2P or file-sharing aren't so important to me, but I would certainly like to use VoIP and tether occasionally.

I ask because I use O2 already for a GSM-only phone provided by my work, and it would be easier to stick with O2 if I upgrade to an N900.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

I have o2 unlimited web, it came free with my upgrade. I will be using it with the n900 when it arrives. On the bill it says my allowance is 2GB I have once gone over this and nothing happened. I have heard if you have persistently high usage they may have a go at you, but I haven't heard of anybody that this has happened to. Frankly I struggle to go over the limit in the month, and I do use it for youtube etc what stops me going over is when I am near free wifi e.g. at home I use wifi.

Vodafones new sim only deals.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

haven't got a calculator with me at present so will just explain the mechanism...

1st code = 15% off of full price of £499
2nd code = 15% off of price remaining after 1st discount
3rd code = 15% off of price remaining after 2nd discount code.

Some people got a cashback off in addition and finally fast shipping was an additional £9.99

Hope that helps some.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

I use it for my laptop and the N810 whilst on the train or at client sites. Never had a problems and I use WiFi too where I can to get the speed up. Other than central London being crippled speed due to flooded network traffic it seems fine. I suspect this clause is really only for the idiots that use it for their desktops instead of a fixed line.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

You might want to get that calculator out ;)

The odd price was thanks to the customer rep including a battery discount

I had used the 3 discounts too and was confused by the new price hass had after re-ordering.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

I read about people that had their orders reapplied and they simply added the discounts together and applied them in one fell swoop instead of cumulative - 3 codes would be 45%! :)

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Is that it for the deal, no other codes available?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Last I heard you can't use multiple codes anymore. But I'm sure there must be a 15% code somewhere (I haven't been looking since I placed my order), and if you use it alongside a cash back site you can still make a decent saving.
