    I am from South Africa which I believe has one of the highest data costs on the world.
    I am interested to know what you pay per gig of data and where you are from.
    Thanks

    I pay as I go. £25 for 7GB can last me around 2 weeks but sometimes I double that.

    I am on a contract for both Internet and unlimited calls.
    The Wifi is high speed too.

    Let me find my bill.

    Thanks guys..according to a recent poll, we rank 143rd in the world in terms of data costs. Average for 1gig is SAR106 which is horrendously high. So if you don't see me online just know I am planning my next bank job haha.
    I am also on Pay as you Go..can't get a contract due to my low pension.

    Is contract not cheaper?

    I pay £23.90 per month, unlimited broadband and phone calls all over the world, including mobile phones.
    I am on EE.

    23.9 Pound sterling equals
    509.05 South African Rand

    Yp contract would be a lot better but my paltry pension disallows it unfortunately.

    Oh I am so sorry. I hope the other South African member is online today. See what he pays.

    Here in the UK, 100GB of mobile data per month costs around £25 on a 12 month contract. Landline data is a similar cost for unlimited use.
    Phones can be configured to log onto your router, allowing you to have a cheaper mobile plan if you frequently work from home.

    I personally use my phone for voice calls only and unlimited use costs £7 per month.
