Orange Announces UK Data Pricing for iPad
With Apple's official announcement of international availability for the iPad, Orange has announced pricing for its data service for 3G-capable iPad owners in the United Kingdom. The plans offer somewhat more flexibility in payment options than AT&T does in the United States, although Orange's monthly plans come in somewhat higher in price than AT&T's and Orange does not offer unlimited data packages.
Orange UK will offer tailored 3G data plans for iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, from 10th May, and will launch a pre-registration site for SIM's at Orange.co.uk/iPad. Pay-as-you-consume, daily, weekly and monthly data plans will be available, providing the freedom to choose a type of plan depending on usage.
Orange will offer a daily access fee with up to 200 MB of data for 2, and a weekly package priced at 7.50 with 1 GB of data. Recurring monthly plans are priced at 15 (3 GB) and 25 (10 GB), with both plans offering "unlimited" data at BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots. Orange will also offer "pay-as-you-consume" access priced at 5p/MB.Orange is also rolling out iPad 3G service plans in France, Spain and Switzerland, with additional markets to come later this year.

I'd love a UK network to offer a subsidised iPad 3g with a decent bandwidth allowance.

Not from UK, so UK posters... are these prices fair?
Of course not. Everything is an outrage! It doesn't matter what it's priced at! It's way too much!;)
(No, I don't live in the UK, but I thought I would help out.)

I wish we had data plan offerings similiar to the UK and Europe.
It would be nice to pay a flat fee for all devices you register with ATT.
Right now I pay:
$30 data for iphone / month
$30 for home internet / month
$15/$30 ipad data /month
Almost $100 a month for the same internet.

This sounds about par for the course ... tho let's see what O2 are going to offer ... or have they already, readers?. I currently get a LOT of unlimiited data, texts and calls on my iPhone .. which I bought outright for a measly £20 a month ... they give me this 'cos I had my iPhone with O2 for 18 months ... then when the contract ran out it was a SIM only deal and thats top value. Cant fault O2 ... did I really say that?. Anyway ... it wont take an Einstein to work out that at £25 ... aka £300 a year just to get on the move wifi is tad steep ... if O2 have any nouse.. they'll knock a good fiver off that to make it £20 then they'll pull in the punters I reckon .. cos they also have to consider many iPad owners will also be iPHone owners .. paying possibly £35 a month on their new contracts ... plus ANOTHER £25? Shurely shome mishtake?. But then again dont' ask me. I am the WORST at guessing market trends. Id buy a bulk load of cheap Cabbage Patch Dolls or Hula Hoops in the hope they'll make a comeback and flog em on eBay! :D

Pretty crap prices if you ask me. If it was unlimited that would be different (for the £25 tariff). Here's hoping O2 can do better.
5p/mb = £51/GB!

how is the stuff someone can get on an ipad different in terms of what they can get to an iphone.... data is data.
£7.50 is a month, not a week.
