With GPRS you pay for the amount of information
you receive and send, at a cost of £4 ($6) per megabyte. The
following guide shows what this roughly equates to:
One megabyte =
1200 WAP pages or 20 web pages or
100 emails without attachments or
10 emails with a one page attachment or
1 email with a PowerPoint presentation
attachment
You will be charged for the size of email or
web page you download or send as well as the additional data required
to control the sending and receiving of information. GPRS is not
recommended for web-based email systems. For billing purposes, a
megabyte is 1,048,573 bytes.

1) Purchase of recharge cards (also called
airtime vouchers), which are available at most convenience stores,
tabac shops and petrol stations throughout UK. They may be purchased
in denominations of £20 or £50 and you receive the
equivalent in airtime.
To charge The UK (England, Scotland, Wales,
Northern Ireland) SIM with a recharge card proceed as follows:
Open up the packaging of the recharge card.
Rub off the gray protective layer,
Dial 450
Follow the voice prompts to load your voucher
code.
2) Register your credit card with Orange
customer service by dialing 450
