Um... what have teachers got to do with exceeding a mobile data allowance? :-)-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Rob Beard wrote:Max Siegieda wrote:Only gone over 1GB once? blimey, I'm on pay as you go and am struggling to burn through the 150MB "free" allowance, then again all I tend to do is use twitter and browse hexus/bit-tech/webcomics.It's easy when you know how... Try browsing some web sites on there, some pages I've come across are 1MB at a time. It really does annoy me that some of these online retailers don't have a mobile site, Amazon and eBay are about the only ones that tend to have mobile versions of their sites, other such as HMV, Currys, Comet, Tesco seem to only think people will browse their sites from home. Not good when you're trying to compare prices (and in some cases I've ended up going elsewhere because they haven't got a mobile site and I'm not near a computer). Also there's Google Maps which can sit in the background on my phone always updating my location, and podcasts (although I tend to download these when at home using the phone's slow but free wifi), um... e-mail too. Yes I can use 1GB if I try, although I've only gone over it once so far. Unfortunately on Three, the mobile portal doesn't tell you your data usage, only that you haven't exceeded it. So I don't know how much data I've used until I'm nearly hitting the limits. RobWhat we need is a meeting where teachers attend, we can then do talks on the different software for education and actually ask them what they nede as a school. what is wrong, with the current set up, how much they would be prepared to pay etc do our market research with actual teachers, then get together and propose something. paul
