I came across this interesting website today - it offers an on-line non-partisan comparison across all the UK mobile operators. I checked out my iPhone contract on it - and the only one to compare was the O2 iPhone contract :D

See for yourself if you've got the optimum for what you want/need/desire at http://www.mobilemeg.com/


A recent survey 1 shows that 7 out of 10 mobile phone users don't know how much they are charged for using data services such as surfing the mobile web or using email from their phones. It's therefore surprising that there haven't been horror more stories like poor Piotr Staniaszek who managed to run up a mobile phone bill for $85,000 (£41,000) in one month alone! 2

In addition, those users that do know what they are charged think it's too much and until now there was no easy way to compare all the available price plans.

However, using a mobile phone to access the internet is now growing 8 times faster than PC based internet access. 3

MobileMeg is the only site that provides an easy and free comparison of mobile data price plans. Enabling you to see the true cost of using the mobile internet, mobile email or any other data service from you phone.

Use our tools to estimate your costs before using them to ensure you don't become the next victim of mobile phone bill shock.



Do let us know how you get on :)


NB: I'm stickying this thread for now ... it seems a good resource to have in sight.

Hello HandsOn and Talk3G members,

I am the owner/designer/developer/teaboy for MobileMeg.

Thanks for the kind mention. I recently relaunched the site and though I've just had my first 1,000 visitors I'm still canvassing for more feedback on peoples likes/dislikes/suggestions.

Please feel free to say what you like - bad news is a learning experience, good news is an ego boost :)

I'll keep an eye on comments here, but alternatively use the feedback form on the site (http://www.mobilemeg.com/feedback.php), or just email me at [email protected].

Regards,
Peter Gross
