What happens if I go over my data allowance on orange?

I have an iphone 5 on orange and I get 1GB of data per month with my contract.

however this month I have gone over my data allowance.

I don't get my next GB until next week and I was wondering how much it is going to cost me for the extra data I will be using up. I will probably use around 500MB of data on 3G.

Not entirely sure about your network specifically, but typically, you get charged per MB, and it gets really expensive, so stop using data As soon as possible

It's about £10 you're better off getting a internet bundle probably be cheaper

Find some Wi-Fi quickly!

T-mo and O2 are the only networks to not charge you extra and only limit your speed.
Vodafone and Orange charge you (quite a lot)
Three usually have an all you can eat allowance, but would charge if you were not.

Data (1 byte - 250 MB) £5
Data (Up to 500 MB) £10
Data (Up to 750 MB) £15
Data (Up to 1000 MB) £20
Data (over 1000 MB) £40

You have access to Virgin Wi-Fi
and O2 Wi-Fi is always available to anyone (free)

  • Will this add to my 3G data allowance? On my iPhone 4S on the settings tab where you turn on your 3G there's a button to turn Cellular Data on/off and another button for my 3G. If I only have cellular data on and not 3G will it add to my contract bill because all I have is 100MB so I really don't want to go over and pay more than I already have to so basically if I have cellular data on will it eat away at the 100MB I have?
  • Will an orange pay as you go sim card work in my iphone orange contract phone? My orange phone is still in contract but could do with a different number on pay as you go as well, would rather just get the sim card and swap them over, but can always buy a cheap phone as well
  • What is Data Allowance (Verizon)? I have an iPhone with unlimited texting and the cheapest data plan. What is data allowance? I keep on getting text alerts telling me that I've used 50%, 75%, 90% of the data in the pats two days. What is it? What am I doing on my phone that is making this dumber go up? Is it Wi-Fi/ 3G usage? Can someone tell me so I don't get charged for going over.
  • What happens when you go over your data plan? I'm with telus and have an iphone 4s. I have a certain amout of gigabites of 3G and i know i went over. I went to my grandparents and they don't have internet so i used 3G for everything, does telus charge you for going over your limit?
