This is my last bill:
I pay 12€ per month for essentially unlimited data traffic with Vodafone Spain. The speed is a bit slow though (only 3Mbps), but I have never felt the need for more. However, should the need arise, I would be able to increase the speed to 7.2Mbps paying 15€ per month (there are higher speeds, up to 21.4Mbps, but I would have to use an USB modem for that and of course they are more expensive).
Besides, as you can see above, I don't make many normal calls these days, as most of them are done via SIP (it works beautifully with this little N900 gem).
Greetings

Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Internet ( havent checked the fair use , But im sure its within what i will use )

Annoyingly they didnt update vodafone, so i had to call them today to change my plan.

There's a bit of a bug/issue/overlooked feature with CPW's computer system, if Vodafone didn't know about the upgrade you could of walked away with a free N900, it happens more times than the company's willing to admit

I'm under employee plan
I pay like $70 a month for 2 lines on a AT&T family plan and have no data at all just like 550 minutes + free night and weekend. (me and my mother never use the phone so we have like 3000+ roll over minutes)
It would cost me $15 a month just for Edge service and I dont think its worth it for how often I would use it.

yeah....but in my defence, I did buy through mpd/nokiaretail, therefore paperwork and T&C are so vague where present I figured I could get away with it
Actually to be fair Vodafone must love me, I only use my internet between 12 and 4am! Very fair usage as everyone else should be sleeping...
On a side note I only managed to use so much because 3.5g connection gives me 190-450KB/s downloads, and it's such a luxury after dial-up speeds with O2!!

My first months usage with the N900. Thought it would be interesting to compare our usage...and maybe bet on who's gonna get kicked from their contract for abuse of fair usage policy

Does anyone know how much Vodafone actually charge for exceeding their "fair use" policy?
I know from the Dataplan widget I downloaded that i've topped 1GB, even though the counter on Vodafone's website seems stuck at 170MB. I've tried calling them, and all they've said is that 500MB is "13,000 pages" of internet. And he didn't know what happens if I go over.
13,000 pages of what? Skype? Firmware updates?
I hate it when people can't distinguish between "Internet" and "Web". Annoys me enough when my grandmother mixes them up, but the world's largest phone company? C'mon..
I asked in store too, only to be told by a very rude woman that she's "worked there for two years, and has never seen anyone exceed their limit"
Apparently "even buisinessmen using blackberrys never go near the limit"
So she can't understand that a poweruser with an N900 can use more data than a man in a suit sending and recieiving 10kb+ IMAP emails all day?
heretics, the lot of 'em. Rant over.
