Well from what i can see you have to spend £50 a month to get it free on T-mobile
Vodafone seem to be cheaper to start with:- £37.50 then £75.00 after 3 months to get it free And o2 you have to spend £50 a month to get it free. Orange you have to pay again £55 per month to get it free. So in all 3 seem the cheapest so far unless you get it as an upgrade on your current tariff. |

I bet the poor excuse of 3 firmware will be what makes the N95 unstable. Look at when 3 got their hands on the 6280 for example? So many firmware faults it was unbelieveable!

The N95 might be a good deal better on T-Mobile or Vodafone as they have the biggest HSDPA coverage on 3G.
T-Mobile have good deals on the N95 and also have Web'N'Walk Pro that allows the phone to be used as a modem for laptop or PDA use (T-Mobile have HSPDA high speed access on all their 3G sites), so you can use the Internet just like at home. 3's limited x-series does not allow any modem use - only phone display web access and applications, making the usage pretty limited. |

I wish people would stop listening to the rubbish salespeople spout and check the terms and conditions for acccurate information.
From 3's X-Serises Terms & Conditions. "Please remember that the X-Series services are for your personal use only and do not include using your mobile as a modem with your PC or laptop." http://www.three.co.uk/xseries/x_series_help.omp |

I was in the Three shop in Edinburgh a few months back, asking if the E61i was on the horizon. He hadn't heard of it and didn't know that the E61 on display did not come with a camera. |

Not just from sales people on both occasions they phoned through to check with head office and came back to me a couple of days later with the same answer.
Others have already reported that they have had to pay unexpected bills for the above reason and a verbal assurance is no defence against 3's publicly available Terms & Conditions. Be careful!! |

I work for the company (in a technical role) and there is no way that we can tell the difference between using the internet on your handset or as a "modem."
For X-Series: Whatever happens, you'll get a warning SMS at 1GB and you'll get a "soft-suspend" when you reach 2GB until your next billing cycle. You are never ever charged for additional data when using X-Series. The £2 charge that you state is if customers have the addon for "Add Internet 10" or "Add Casual Internet" per additional MB. It is £1 per additional MB if you are using a datacard. |

I don't know why people deliberately confuse what is a simple issue that is clearly explained in the x-series terms and conditions (link above). I have first hand knowledge of people being charged for modem use on x-series. 3 do not publish restrictive conditions for no reason and it is dangerous suggesting that the company might ignore it's own published terms. |
