Do you believe that your SPV NEEDS Flat Rate GPRS to be worthwhile? Do you feel the networks aren't listening to the customer with regards to GPRS charging? Would you consider switching networks to get Flat Rate GPRS? Then sign the 'Petition for Reasonably Priced Flat Rate GPRS' by CLICKING HERE We CAN make a difference! A paper copy of the petition will be produced and delivered to the major networks at a (TBC) future date. ------------- We have already received well in excess of ONE THOUSAND responses, and increasing fast! I think the results should give all the networks real reason to worry... A staggering 92.1%, that's well over a thousand of you, WOULD consider changing operators in order to take advantage of reasonably priced flat rate GPRS. Below are a few of the many hundreds of comments submitted: "a flat rate gprs would allow me to make the most of my phone." "A sensibly priced, flat-rate GPRS would drive a huge take up in the use of data services. I'm not looking for GBs of throughput a month, just enough for a bit of browsing and emailing - is that too much to ask?" "about time the providors listened to their customers, and rewarded loyalty properly." "All I want is a GPRS tarrif to add to the normal phone one. Not tied to sending 500 free SMS per month or 100 minutes of "free" calls or some other rubbish. I just want a simple GPRS add-on for a known, flat rate at a reasonable price." "Charging a priemium for GPRS when they can get it to work right with the smartphone (always dailing...) really eats at me!!" "Excellent idea, this would enable us to use our phones as intended without having to get a second mortgage to do so." "First carrier to provide "unlimited" data on GPRS wins by business!!" "Flat-fee internet is the KILLER-APP for Orange!" "GPRS in UK is too expensive. in china, if you spend £70, you can get GPRS unlimited download for the whole year. why should we pay this high price? is Orange not good as other companies?" "How about a special GPRS contract with flat-rate GPRS but slightly higher call charges? I'd go for that  "
"I believe that networks work harder to gain new customers than look after their existing customers." --------------------   |

I personally class <£20 as reasonable, ideally about £15, but others' opinions may vary.
