Depends how much GPRS costs, and how much the hotel charges, but 'more
than likely cheaper' could have been a better way of putting it.
>I thought GPRS was 43.2kbps,
That would be the maximum speeds. Before I had ADSL I used the GPRS
because it was faster than my dial-up access.
>and it's not cheap what O2 charge!!!
Depends what you use it for, for a quick check of email when I'm out
and about and the odd page or two on the web every now and again it
only costs me a few quid a month. (I forget how much exactly,
www.orange.co.uk will tell you how much it costs).
