Now many are investing in mobile alternatives to their sites... but without offers, GPRS and the like is really not comparable in price to your wifi or DSL...
More O2 mobile phone users have been caught out by the company's decision to end a "free" internet surfing deal earlier this year - including one 19-year-old who has been sent a bill for an extraordinary £3,327 for just a few weeks' use.
19-year-old factory worker Rebecca Gibbs from Welshpool, Powys. She used her phone to connect a new laptop to the internet after being told twice by O2's call centre that it was free.
"She received her normal bill in April and no charges for the internet," says her father John. "I made her ring twice to check, and each time she was told it was free.
"She is not a big earner and so you can image the shock of getting such a massive bill. At first she thought it was a horrible mistake and rang up O2, only to be told that it was correct and she would have to pay it. They even offered to take the money at £100 a month until it was paid off."
A spokeswoman for O2 says the company will be refunding the outstanding balances in all cases of the like, but this demonstrates well, the true costs of GPRS.
