Hi

I am considering the O2 250 Package. 250 mins, 250 texts, free O2 calls & texts with 150MB data alowance.

What would 150MB of data allowance allow me to do? would I use this up very quickly even downloading apps to the phone?

Would this allowance allow me to quickly check emails, the news etc on a daily basis?
 
150 MB is a very low allowance. This would not cover most peoples smartphone usage.

Have you considered the packages from 3 that include unlimited data? Have you considered the Tesco Mobile packages?
 
I have this package with O2 and never go over my minutes or usage. I do connect to office wifi in work. I check email, facebook and other webpages daily. I never go over my usage. if I find I am coming close to over using during the month I turn off my 3g for a time during the day. some apps constantly update and can eat up your data. you also get a text from o2 if you are clsoe to going over and can buy more data quite cheap enough. you would need more data if you couldn't connect to wifi at home or in work.
 
If you don't have Wifi in work, chances are you will use up the 150mb data allowance within a month. And if you don't have Wifi at home then you will definitely use it up and would be advised to get a plan with a lot of data on it.

If you spend most of your time connected to Wifi networks and only plan to use a bit of data when you're out and about, then 150mb might be enough. You can purchase data add-ons as well if necessary.

You could go for (150 minutes + 150 texts)

Whats 3 service and coverage like?
Their data package is appealing, but does one need more than 500MB for routine stuff.
Im upgrading to android smartphone as an inclusive package with data plan and the 3 one looks good.
Any general suggestions in addition toones above in earlier posts

Defaults to Vodafone where there is no coverage.

You could try a free sim card on their website to see if the coverage meets your expectations where you live.

It is easy to slip above 500 MB even with light always on smartphone usage. If you do, even once, the charges are massive. Ensure you get at least 1 GB, ideally at least 2 GB.
 
Thanks Ciaran for that . much appreciated.
Im in south Dublin and dont stray to remote corners of Ireland much, so I assume 3's coverage will be fine.
Also apprecaite your comments re data loads. Will check out 1GB costs, or gofor the 'eat as much as you want' option of 3.
 
Recently switched from O2 to Three and haven't noticed any deterioration in coverage. Living in Dublin. O2 smartphone tariffs are very poor value. 150 is next to nothing. I would consider even 700 to be very basic.
