317324 2005-01-23 12:33:00 Im with a 3mb vodafone contract and if i exceed 3mb its $2.00 per mb

When I look up my data details showing how much data I've used.It seems as though vodafone split the terms gprs and wap.

If i retrieve emails using the email client on my mobile its called gprs and charged at 2c per 10kb

If I use Mobile messenger its called WAP

Correct me if im wrong isn't Wap and gprs the same thing?Just like saying adsl and dialup?


1084kb in 1 mb rite?

So if I used .3516mb thats how many KB?
0.0977Mb is how many kb?


Im so confused with the measurement.
Anybody can help would be much appreciated

IT used to be like $6 per mb over a 3mb plan

It used to be WAp 4c/per 10kb
and Gprs 4c/per kb

Now its
6c/per 10kb for Wap
and Gprs is 2c/per 10kb

I don't see much saving do you?
