I am looking to buy a 32GB iPhone on Pay as you go for £595.00 with 02.

The deal is...
- Up to 300 UK texts (which is fine for me), 500MB UK (see my question below) data and unlimited Wi-Fi when you top-up £10 a month


Now I assume "unlimited Wi-Fi" is home use connected to your own hub.

and....500MB UK data is when you are out and about using hotspots etc.

My question is this.

I have BT Total Broadband and according to the http://www.btfon.com/ website as a Total customer I get inclusive access to hotspots/openzone for being a total broadcast customer.

Now I could use this BT deal to connect to the internet when I am out and about right? would this eat into my 500mb data? or not.

I think as I have inclusive access to the hotspots i should use it.

I think for myself this would work out a cheaper option then going on a contract as I do not yap a lot and I am not a heavy txter and 300 is loads for me.

I just want clarification that I am looking at this correct and this method would work effectively - as long as I can use the internet on it etc daily I am fine

thanks!

Yes you should be able to connect to FON spots and login, they list as BT Openzone on an Iphone.

For me this is a pain as i am not a BT/FON customer so if i use a proper public Openzone spot once then it constantly locks onto FON spots which i cannot use.

your 500Mb is for mobile data usage(3G Edge etc). This is nothing at all to do with Wi-Fi.

oo err I am not good with all this LOL so what do I have to be careful not to do with my data usage? will it run low quick doing a certain thing...

also technically if I use my BT Total Broadcast FON/Openzone access which I get as apart of my net package I will not be using 500mb data given a month - right?

BTFON and Openzone and any other hotspot uses WiFi. Nothing to do with your 500Mb.

How long 500Mb will last completely depends on your usage. For reading text based web pages and email it will be fine. If you plan to do a lot of streaming of music/video it will not.
