Beware of the unlimited mobile internet subscriptons. Until now three case of enormous internet bill have been reported in France, 45′000 Euro, 159′000 Euro and 40′000 Euro.

All of the three were using the Orange unlimited 3G key.

If you too want to have huge mobile internet bill, here is what you should do (at your own risk of course):

Live in a border town, where your key will switch to the other country’s network
Take it when you go for your holidays abroad, with it check your emails – and don’t forget to upload the nice photos you just took.
don’t read the operator’s contract, forget the small typing at the end
believe that unlimited is really unlimited
never ever call the customer care to ask what does unlimited mean, and where you can use it (or when)
To insure payment of your phone bill, set your bank to pay automatically when they get it
never ask the customer care to put a spending limit that will alert you in case you spend more than the limit of what they refer as unlimited (confused yet?)

Finally,You are wrong when you think “Unlimited” is referring to the quantity data you transfer (anything you do on the net transfers data) but it is a matter of TIME spent connected to the internet (doing nothing, so you don’t transfer data)……

Conclusion:

when you buy unlimted 3g Key you just can browse a little (don’t donwload anythign) BUT you can stay conencted a slong as you want (am not sure if from anywhere is ok!!).
