I’m off to Spain for three weeks. Staying at my parents’ apartment, which should be good. It has food, washing machine, a telly and the usual stuff people come to expect from an apartment.

No Internet though…

I just looked at the call charges on the Orange website since I had the crazy idea of doing GPRS for things like Skype and the odd bit of web browsing. Well…

costs of using your phone in Spain

	Service		Make/Send		Receive
	calling		70p		30p		per min
	text message		30p		free		per message
	photo message (up to 50kb)		60p		free		per message
	photo message (over 50kb)		75p		free		per message
	video message		75p		free		per message
	GPRS or EDGE		£8.00				per MB
	3G data		£8.00				per MB
	Video Calling		70p		30p		per min

I think I’ll be giving that one a miss then! £8 per meg is a little steep…
