Customers with "dongles" from O2 who download an extra 1GB of data beyond the amount included with their contract risk incurring a charge of £200, said moneysupermarket.com, the price comparison service.

Fook that!

O2 and 3 both sent a text to alert the user when the limit was reached, it added.

Three certainly didn't send me a text when I hit my data limit yesterday.

Maybe an urban myth, but I heard about a guy who got surcharged over a grand after spending 2 days downloading a bootleg movie.

Downloading abroad is another matter. Without a decent roaming contract it is a license to bankruptcy.

They had a 3GB limit. Claimed they wre not told it was only for the UK.
