I was in France skiing last week and decided to activate Orange's £3/30MB per day data plan which you only get charged if you use it on any particular day. The only reason for not having it as the default plan is that by signing up to it you automatically waive the 50 Euro cap on the month's charges so you have to watch that you don't go over the 30MB because after that they start charging at the daft roaming rate (£3.07 per MB in Europe). However, I inadvertently started streaming a podcast which I thought I had already downloaded via wifi and managed to download about 60MB before I realised. This wouldn't have been a problem had Orange texted me a warning I had reached the limit as they had said they would do when I asked before signing up, however I didn't receive any texts.
Went online this morning to check the bill and there is a charge for £107 for data.
However, it all ended well because when I rang them they waived the charge as I hadn't received warning texts. Actually, with hindsight perhaps it's a good job they didn't send texts because if they are not real time then I could easily have racked up the charge before I got a text.

and yeah my bro uses Onavo, its great and no jailbreak needed. he did 70mb of browsing and it only used 22mb of his data. That's cool!
