Data Usage
Our Cell Phone service supplies data to you via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services). GPRS transfers data in bursts or packets rather than one continuous stream and as a consequence you pay your cell phone supplier for the amount of information you send and receive as opposed to the amount of time you spend connected.
The amount of data that our service uses depends on how you configure and use our application. The longer you stay connected to the service, and the greater the number of streaming prices you choose to view, the more data you will use. You can always see an accurate display of how much data you have used, so there is no danger of a nasty surprise when the bill comes.
All data charges that you pay are levied by, and paid to, your cell phone service provider. We do not make any charge to you for our data or Cell Phone Dealing software, nor will we ever charge you a subscription fee.
For guidance, we estimate that a connection to our Cell Phone Dealing service will use about 1MB of data per hour. We appreciate that the cost to you of receiving this data is not insignificant, but it is an unavoidable consequence of our provision of real-time dealable prices.
Based on this we would suggest that you select a service plan based on your usage of the service as follows:
Light user (approx. 15 mins per day)
You are likely to use around 7MB of data with us per month.
Medium user (approx. 60 mins per day)
You are likely to use around 30MB of data with us per month.
Heavy user (several hours per day)
For your economy and peace of mind, we suggest you choose a tariff offering 100MB per month.
