iphone internet costs

Hi

Thinking about getting the iphone but want to know how much I will be charged to use the internet for facebook and basic surfing like that.

I know I get 500mb in the "allowance" but how much surfing does that allow? Is it sufficient to get me through the month? If I go over what sort of bill am I looking at?

Cheers

Andrew

Re: iphone internet costs

Are you considering an O2 contract? If so, they actually include unlimited data.
If not, as a guide, my phone says i have used 3.1GB of data since the start of august, and i have really used it for some very data heavy uses.

Re: iphone internet costs

thanks for the reply.

I thought that o2 had a fair usage limit of 500mb an month though?

so did you not get charge any extra for going over this?
