100MB of DATA ?? is this a Joke ?

[Anonymous]

Hi there People..

Ok So as Toby Knows I've just got Rid of my Iphone 3GS & Got an Iphone 5 Now.

I'm on Pay&Go Unlimited. Now I Top up £15 a Month & get Free Calls to o2 People & Unlimted Text.(Fair Use) with 100MB Data.

Now O2 as the Tech these days to know the type of phone your on & using on a daily Basis Right. So I Can Understand giving 100MB of data to people not on Smartphones.

But when we put the Sim in & it reports back to o2 that your using an Iphone o2 should know this by now & understand that 100MB of data for smartphone users is no where near enough.

So We have to buy Bolt ons, And that's going to cost us anywhere from £5-6 A Month to £10 a Month.

I Just Think it's time for o2 to alter there tariffs for Pay&GO customers who set them selfs up with an Iphone & when they detect someone is on a Smartphone then they have Separate Tariffs for these users.

Because to give an iphone user a 100MB is a joke really. Where others get between 500MB to a 1GB of data. Ok If i was on another Tariff other than Unlimited I may have more than 100MB. But to give someone an Unlimited Tariff with free calls to o2 & Unlimited text

( All within the fair use policy ) but cap there data at 100MB defeats the name Unlimited.

Then I find out they took a £1 off my credit & give me 50MB of data with out my Concent, Now that to me as over stepped the line, O2 should of consulted with me prior to taking the cash & charging me.

So what other options do I have other than to pay an extra £5-10 a Month for data ? 

I've spent I think a Pound on 3 calls trying to get hold of someone to talk to about this & text chat to 802802 & it keeps telling me there's no chat sessions.

I would like to talk over the phone to someone Please, how can we make this happen ?

Thanks

Ok Guys lol Rant Over... lol

I'm not aware of anything like that for a stock iPhone.

On normal WiFi (not free WiFi where you have to sign in etc) you should find your phone remains connected all the time even when asleep. This is because using WiFi for data actually uses less power due to the general lower response times and faster data rates.

Not on an iPhone. Unfortunately Apple don't see fit to allow that option.

Agreed, Well not unless your jail Broken.. which I'm not ready to do on this Model just yet.. anyhow, Can't as there's no Untethered Break on IOS 7** yet.

@Brandscill

Nah mate.. on Iphone it will switch off your WIFI duing sleep to save power. so then your using data again duing the sleep times.

@to Everyone.

Thanks Guys for all your replys.. It's been an insight & a great help.

although I'm somewhat tempted to give bandofbrothers tariff a go..

I might go for a Sim only deal as I've been offered this..

700Mins free to any Network,

500 Mins to o2 customs

& 7500MB Data

that's for £16 a week, £1 More than I'm paying now. & that to me sounds Great as I'm not a heavy talker anyway. I'm more of a Whatsapp and Viber user.

[MI5]

I hope it's £16 a MONTH

You're most welcome.

It's all down to choice and individual needs.

I would not personally go for a tethered jail break. Your iPhone turns off and it will remain off until you hook up to a PC.

I've always opted for the un tethered personally.

what you think to this Guys 

Ok So it's not FREE, But this is why I'm asking, just in case someone as used it, or Heard of it

& if it's any good..

MI5 give us two names for apps that he as used or knows of, so I thought of trying to find an Iphone version, whit out any luck, but came up with the one above..

<<<<EDIT>>>>

Darn it. I just noticed it's for Jail Broken iphones Only 😞 Not Cool lol

[MI5]

It looks similar and you get a free trial, so give it a go and if no good, just dump it....
