Unlimited Isn’t Unlimited

Uk carrier Orange recently had a buzz among them, and not the good kind. In their new iPhone Data plans just announced. orange made it know that their Unlimited plans had a cap of 750mb. The unhappy people planning on jumping to Orange, weren’t too happy about that and began to voice their opinions on Twitter about the supposed cap. But Orange was quick to respond and say:

“We don’t call it a cap. We don’t restrict the service, and we don’t charge them any more if they go over 750MB. It’s just an indication of where we’d prefer people to be“

Orange offers the iPhone in 28 other countries, and in research they found that the average iPhone user uses 200mb a month. So to them, 750mb is more than enough. But Orange promises that they will not charge extra for users who go over 750mb. If a person goes over, Orange will just send text messages saying you’re using more data than they should be. Hmm, I wonder how that’s going to work out.
