Any ideas please? > Yes. You need to top up the S2 - which will give you 150MB of internet access for free (times out after 90 days if not used). When you've used that, you need to buy internet access add-ons - using some of the 3Pay credit which you bought when you topped up. Whether it is more economical to buy a month's worth for �5, a week's worth for �2.50 or a day's[1] worth for 50p will depend on your usage pattern. If you need to use it every day, then clearly the �5 for a month option is the best bet. If your use is only occasional (like if you're away form home for a few days every month and only need it then), one of the other options may be better for you. [1] By all accounts, a 50p 'day' lasts from when you buy it until midnight on the *following* day - so, if you need it for a weekend (say), you can make it last from Saturday morning until Sunday night -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

You don't calcel the payment, you phone 3 to give them notice that you dont want the contract anymore. After your service has ended you will receive a final bill and if you owe 3 they will take it automatically. Likewise if 3 end up owing you then you will receive this by "reverse" direct debit. > request cancellation they may actually cancel the service but may > continue to keep taking payments from my credit card account. Credit Card account? That's not direct debit, it's continuous credit authority and a little different. Just call 3 and give your notice. All should be well. Regards Jon

Blimey, are you a touch paranoid? That seems rather over cautious for something as simple as cancelling a mobile contract. Regards Jon |
