Some years ago I was with Orange PAYG, and ocasionally used their GPRS for
access to the web and email. Problem is it was a complete rip off. Are
Orange still a rip off for GPRS, or have they become better value these
days? I am considering using them again, but only when I cannot get into
the three network. How much are their costs these days for GPRS on PAYG?

Thanks

Thanks for that. Did I hear PAYG on Virgin mobile is more reasonable?

"Unlimited web access subject to a fair use policy of 25MB per day
(for 30p) or 1GB per month (for �20 top up)." See
<http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/genericContent.do?contentId=payasyougo.our.tariff.shop.sm285>.

IIRC the charges for going over the limits are quite high, but I can't
locate them on their website at the moment. :(
